| - I'm not fully Vegan or Vegetarian, I still eat meat around once a week but I'm slowly getting there! I was looking for a new place to try that would help boost my studying so I was looking for someplace that had a lot of fresh and healthy options and I came across Go Raw Cafe on Yelp! Located on Windmill and Eastern in the shopping center with the Smith's located right next to Tups.
Walking in, on the right you see a ton of books and supplements about raw eating, vegan eating, etc., on the ceiling were a bunch of hanging plants and near the back there's a salad bar. There was only 2 tables sat with 2 people at each table when we went and there was no one at the counter. Since it was the first time I'd been there, I didn't know whether to just sit down or go to the counter so I went to the counter since I saw a handful of paper menus. I grabbed one and started looking through it, I wanted to walk to the salad bar to see what they offered but I didn't since I felt a bit awkward not really knowing how to order so I eyed the Salmon Roll: Mock salmon, mustard, alfalfa sprouts, tomato, avocado, enoki mushrooms, yam "rice", garlic, & ginger as something I wanted to try but there was no one at the counter so I started looking around. Finally one of the ladies sitting at a table talking to a guy gets up and goes to stand behind the counter and just stares at me. No hi, nothing! Not even a smile! So I said "Uh I'll try the Salmon Roll" and she says "Sold out" Okay uhmmmm..."the Veggie Roll?" and she replies "No, out of Seaweed" Dang okay...then I start looking at the menu again and I hear her let out a heavy breathe. Wow! How Rude! Then I saw the "Salmon" Cakes w/ "Fries" & Veggies $15: "tartar sauce" accompanied by garlic flat "bread", House Veggies, & your choice of avocado "fries", or jicama "fries". and my boyfriend orders the Blood Transfusion $8.50: 2 oz. Wheatgrass & Coconut Water. She rings it up, we pay and then she walks back to sit with the guy she was talking to so we sat down. My boyfriend told me he was planning to get something to eat also but didn't want to deal with the rude lady. By that time we kind of already lost our appetite. Trying the food, the veggies were very good, nice and fresh and I also liked the avocado fries. I never received the garlic flatbread and as for the Mock Salmon, it was extremely sour and kind of smelled a bit rank. I finished the veggies and avocado but left most of the mock salmon. My boyfriend's drink was really good but I mean it really was just coconut water and wheatgrass, you can't really mess that up.
Overall, I would want to come back to try different items on their menu but the really bad service just kind of turned me away from this place for a while.
