| - On the wall, right when you walk in, there is a mission statement about the commitment this place has to educating people about eating well. On the adjacent wall is a giant mural of how various foods and spices (like ginger and turmeric) are good for you.
My husband had a Kickstarter wellness shot, which was a mix of ACV, turmeric, lemon juice, ginger and cherry, and the Protein Bowl. I had the Island Bowl. Because we were headed out to Irvine, we also got two smoothies for the road so we wouldn't have to worry about lunch. I got the large Detox and he got the Super Fruit.
First off, when we initially got there, there was only one other person inside eating a breakfast bowl. The parking lot was empty. This cafe is next to a brand spanking new development that is currently under construction. It looks like there is nothing but construction around the store but it's right off Sunset.
Second, it was a rough start. There was a lot of talking amongst the workers and it seemed like we were interrupting a gossip session. Because I was ordering what amounted to 2 meals I got a funny look. "You want this AND that?" was the question. "Yes," I said, wondering if I needed to break into a full-blown defense of my healthy eating choices. It wasn't a slab of ribs AND a pan of lasagna, for goodness sakes.
We sat down and they brought each item out to us when it was ready. I'm not sure if this is standard operating procedure or if it was because we were the only ones in the joint. But know that only your food comes to you- you need to get up and get forks, spoons and napkins yourself. Our bowls were very good.
The young lady who originally verified my two meal decision brought out our smoothies. "How is everything?" she asked. From that point forward everything was peachy. Because I track my food, I asked if they had nutrition information and they said no (they are working on it), but another very kind lady behind the counter helped me with measurements of the ingredients in my bowl.
We must have come after the morning rush because one of the workers was leaving. On her way out she said good-bye to us and asked us how everything was.
All in all, a great experience with healthy, non-GMO food. I'm taking one star off for cost. For our breakfasts, one wellness shot, and lunch smoothies it was 47.00. I would rather pay the money for food I know is good for me, but (almond) Cheese N (GF) Crackers, I'm not Daddy-stinkin'-Warbucks!
