| - It was the grand opening - first day - meaning that all businesses should be given a huge pass for most things and a big handshake just for having made it to this point. I'll share our experience with you, and you can imagine it may be different when you check them out. I was thrilled to have a new restaurant claiming "healthy" and vegetarian options right in our neighborhood. We went around 1pm for lunch. One of the two chocolate chip and hemp cookies was really tasty that we tried bites of while our meals arrived - they have a case of sweets that are either made there or by the local Polish bakery, I overheard said. We splurged and ordered three dishes (each about $10), including their "special of the day," the blueberry hemp waffle. It was well-cooked, but otherwise not detectably different from a regular blueberry waffle. Typical Country Time type syrup accompanied it and a cinnamon-y compound butter. The breakfast burrito came next; the order was to have eggs, vegetarian chorizo, gouda, tomatoes, avocados, and onions, with salsa. No chorizo (sadly), no flavor to the eggs (which may have been relying on the chorizo accompaniment), one tiny sliver of brown avocado at the bottom, and a cold spinach tortilla wrapped around it. Salsa was reminiscent of frozen tomatoes blended up with some dried parsley. Then, we got the veggie burger. We asked if it was house-made and were told it was, and you could add whatever fixin's on top, including choice of bun - sounded great! It came on a white bun similar to an Aunt Hatty's or whatever, with a sprinkling of shredded iceberg, tomato slices, red onions in a ramekin on the side (huh?), scant avocado, and a very-clearly-packaged patty (it was fine - pretty sure I've had that one from Costco - but not particularly delicious, and not cooked for any texture on the outsides). My husband's a big fan of sweet potato chips; the ones on the side of the burrito and burger were what he called "bottom of the bag" = a pile of crumbs with a little handful of those veggie straw things on top. My husband - not unaccustomed to the indulgent all-American meal which you'd think would elicit a response like this one - said his stomach felt kind of terrible a little while after the lunch. Nothing was spoiled, of course, but we were not left with a light healthful feeling, at the very least, afterwards. (Note that we did not finish the haul we ordered, as readers might reasonably expect it was the quantity we consumed....) We ordered five things, thinking we were getting a good sample of our friendly new neighborhood joint's vittles; perhaps their café's specialty or comfort zone is in the drinks - they have an array of great-sounding juices and smoothies. I wish them good luck, either way.
