Wholesome Cafe in Cottonwood — Restaurant in Cottonwood

+JMJ...Sunday, 12.22.2019. How can I give this restaurant a million likes and stars??!! Oh my goodness! They have some of THE BEST MUFFINS in the world!! The chocolate muffin is yummy, BUT their apple muffin is ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL! 😄 It has been a few months since I received the muffin as a gift, and I don't recall what it was called exactly, I just remember it was scrumptious, mouth delectable delicious! I returned one morning a few days after receiving the gift muffin to purchase more, but I was too early. And, since I was trying to get to work, I couldn't wait. Unfortunately, I now have a medical health issue that eliminates my being able to indulge in something that is probably a high carb item. But, another food discovery which I believe is OK with my pre-diabetes diagnoses... wraps! Just a few weeks ago, I attended a Birthday party at which wraps were served. I had a curried chicken in spinach wrap. My oh my! It was WONDERFUL!! It consisted of curried chicken salad with nuts (walnuts I believe), and something sweet (apples?raisins?). Not sure. I just know it was super duper yummy. When possible, I will be returning in search of that sandwich. 😊 Tues 21 Jan 2025 Well what a pleasant surprise to find that I have already posted a review. Will try to keep this brief. Tatiana visited my place of employment Monday evening and when I learned where she works I went on to rave about a muffin I received from a customer and about the wraps provided for guests of a Birthday party. Lo and behold, Tatiana, an exceedingly delightful and joyfilled young lady, gifted me with a Lemon Blueberry muffin (which was probably an after work snack for herself). Practically ate it in one bite! 😁 Yummy! So today I returned to buy some of the muffins for co-workers and to buy a wrap for lunch. Tatiana was so kind as to bless me with a container of the Soup of the day: Corn Chowder. Very tasty and made with an ingredient kind to my lactose intolerance stomach. The Tuna and Avocado Wrap is enough for at least 2 hardy meals. Smelled yummy and was man oh man DELICIOUS!!. Chock full of tuna, avocado slices, crunchy cucumber pieces, sliced tomatoes, and a sprinkling of cashews, all wrapped in some type of Flatbread. Though the sandwich is enough for 2 meals, I may eat the whole thing in one sitting (update: Iate only half.) Highly recommend stopping in to parttake of the delicious foods, don't miss out on the muffins. And, be blessed by the very welcoming staff and lovely...

I want to start this review by saying whoever cleans your floors, furniture and bathrooms does a seriously remarkable job. I seldom am impressed to use a bathroom from an establishment with floors and sinks so immaculate and pristine, I could eat a salad off of. I sincerely hope the owner pays the janitor or otherwise a living wage cause they deserve it.

Nonetheless, I had a enjoyable and relaxing experience from start to end. I ordered the mint smoothie and the avocado hummus and couldn’t be happier. The smoothie was an even consistency that was not too sweet, but not watered down at all, like smoothies from other restaurants may be. The avocado hummus wrap was saturated with flavor and hummus that is worth eating by itself! I don’t know if this establishment sells just the hummus, but I would buy it to-go if they did! Some people may complain the prices are “premium,” however I am more than happy to pay for excellent service and scrumptious food!

Not to mention the excellent customer service! The slender woman who I believe is a manager, was very kind and just generally considerate of my questions about menu items! Nice to see human compassion, as that is somewhat of a rare commodity these days.

Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by this establishment and just came in spontaneously to see how tasty their vegan food was, as I have had my share of disappointing vegan food in my life and wanted to see how “wholesome fast food” compared! Will come...

This gem is in it's early stages and already is impressing the guests who venture here.

I was traveling with my son and couldn't find ANYTHING healthy in this area. NOTHING.

We have been in AZ a few months and about a month ago I googled healthy options near me in hopes I may have missed something.

This place just opened! What a score.

Their fresh almond milk lattes make for a day right from the Stars. (No, seriously)

Sometimes I add an extra espresso shot which never made me jittery from here.

They use organic coffee beans/ espresso.

They use organic syrups (contain sugar but I didn't feel yucky like I do when I drink lattes from other places so I do recommend if you want some sweetness)

As you can imagine, getting organic fruit to the desert is hard so they do their best with the produce. Often times, they have organic bananas and/or strawberries.

Maybe having organic frozen fruit for smoothies could solve the smoothie part for those looking for organic options.

The waffles are Divine.

Avacado toast and muffins are also pretty yum.

And my son loves the kitties on the register.

Tabby and Tatiana were absolute angels and it was an absolute honor to acquaint them in our travels.

This place is everything it is in a month (or 2) because of their light.

Tell them hello from Elysi if you find yourself here.

All my love and blessings for all who read and venture in.

May you feel the love in every sip and in...
