This place is 100% organic, plant-based, and gluten free! But don't let that fool you... you'd have no idea that their huge chocolate-raspberry cake or tiramisu isn't quite as bad for you.
I would recommend their cheese board and fresh squeezed juices. They also sell whole Thai coconuts that they'll crack open for you for fresh coconut water!
