Review for stopping here for food. It feels like stopping in your eccentric aunt’s kitchen more than going to a professional food establishment. It took about 15 minutes for our 2 wraps to be prepared. They also seemed a bit overwhelmed by having just three groups of people in the shop. They were very nice ladies, but the thing that got me was the lack of hygiene practices. I saw one lady squish a bug with her fingers and toss it in the trash to continue on with preparing people’s food without first washing her hands. The other woman licked her fingers before opening a plastic bag to put our sandwiches in. She did wear gloves the whole time while preparing our wraps so there is that. While none of these behaviors are deal breakers for me, it just makes me concerned about how they are prepping and managing things when there isn’t a line of people watching them prepare their food. I will give them that the wrap was full of veggies and fresh ingredients. It wasn’t anything I would go out of my way for, but I thought it was fine for lunch. Couldn’t really enjoy it because I kept thinking about the bug and finger licking though.
The shop is like a little natural foods store. They have all sort grocery items if you’re looking for snacks or cooking...
Read moreCalling all vegan/ vegetarians/ health food lovers! But seriously, when it comes to FUELING your body with REAL, no frills food, this place is not for the faint of heart. It really is a nice hidden wonderland for good food and medicine. And the workers were really just lovely. We sat at the bar while they made our food and just chit-chatted with them and a couple local regulars (that also gives you a hint it’s the real deal type place), and it was lovely. They also have lots of vegan snacks and cans and jars of food, an entire section of medicines and just everything you can imagine meant for consumption that helps your body rather than harm. It’s a cute store with all the good vibes and their food was good too. But just be prepared because it really is genuine and they don’t manipulate any of it. The smoothies are your choice of frozen fruit and coconut milk or apple juice or almond milk and that’s all. But it’s such a nice change up and I loved it. We also got a wrap that literally had every color and shade of the rainbow of veggies, and it had some kind of sauce on it and somehow it tasted like one of the oddest things I’ve had but I liked it a lot. So yeah, a very groovy place with great...
Read moreGreat place for vegan food. It's about 30 miles from Key West downtown on Overseas Highway. Again, like many cafes in Key West, this one is also grocery store plus a cafe. We went for a Tofu-Avocado-Cheese and Vegetable MELT sandwiches along with a Banana Strawberry Smoothie and a Carrot Colada. The sandwiches (more like wraps actually) were great. The veggies were great and the wheat sprouts were something we had never seen on it. The Banana Strawberry smoothie and Carrot Colada were amazing too. We had a really great breakfast on our way to Miami. They also have a grocery store, not separate from the cafe, where you get all kinds of stuff - like cookies, fresh produce, herbs, supplements, ready to cook packets, snacks and more. So many things stuffed into a small place so it is a little congested. It is less of an eat-in place with just one table and a pair of chairs at one end of the store and a couple of high chairs next to the kitchen. I guess a majority of the folks just do a takeaway. The entire complex is about wellness. So besides this place, there is also a wellness center that offers Yoga, Zumba, massage etc. There is also health center that offers nutritional facials, reflexology,...
