• very delicious and very healthy!

Those who live in the Granby area are lucky to have The Sweet Beet in town. Located on a wooded country road, it seems quite an unexpected location for such a special place to be. I had a bowl of hot chili with cashew "sour cream" and chips, and it was excellent. I also bought a container of beet hummus, chickpea of the sea, and original style mac and no cheese. The hummus was beautiful, as it was bright purple, and I ate it in one sitting when I got home. It was so good! The mac and no cheese was also quite good, and i'm looking forward to trying the other varieties available next time. It did not have the bogus "cheesy" flavor that some other vegan mac and cheeses have... The cheesy sauce is cashew based and is good and hearty. The chickpea of the sea salad was so good! i made sandwiches with it when I got home (Ezekiel bread, chickpea of the sea, and tomatoes) and it was delicious! I also tried to two mini cupcakes, one was vanilla and the other was chocolate/beet, and they were both very good. There were so many other options that I would have liked to have tried. So, i'm excited to go back and explore the variety. There were three people working there and they were all friendly. The restaurant was very very clean and neatly organized, and the the decor was charming and old fashioned. Next time I think i'm going to try something from the sandwich board or maybe the dish that was similar to shepherd's pie. I like that you can go in and get a hot soup and sandwich or some kind of meal to eat there, and then stock up on really fresh and high quality grab and go items to take home. I think this might be the healthiest restaurant that I know of!!! Vegan, gluten free, organic, soy free... I think the Sweet Beet really cares about us :) if you are from out of town you could make a plan to have lunch and then go hiking/swimming nearby such as at Ender Falls or somewhere on the metacomet trail.
