One of the Best Raw Vegan meals I have ever eaten

Unbelievably delicious, wholesome, well prepared, beautiful food. Way beyond my expectations. The place is simple in décor, really nothing to write home about but the food is simply incredible. We ordered raw lasagna and Taco salad with a glass of alkaline, ionized water and lavender crème brulee for desert. The range of subtle flavors was delightful to the palate. I highly recommend a visit and the prices are very reasonable.

Cons: wish I could eat there every day

Well worth it!

Found this place on Happy Cow when visiting Sarasota and I'm glad I stopped in for lunch. It's a little pricey but everything is homemade, the service was fabulous and my lunch was delicious and filling.

Pros: All vegan, Amazing food

Cons: A little pricey

Our experience was wonderful. Our humble server/chef/owner was fantastic.

The weekly changing menu was unique.

Pros: 100% vegan, Eggplant caviar outstanding

Cons: Warm sauce on lasagna would be nice addition.

Wonderful, beautiful, wholesome

The woman who runs this Cafe is an absolute gem of a human being. The food is diverse, delicious, healthy, and made with the utmost of care. I'd visit this town again just so I can high five her and have the Pad Thai and spice tea once more.

Closed

I was so excited to visit, and came to town just for this restaurant. So I was super sad when I arrived at 11:00 on Saturday and it was closed. Note on the window said “Sold out” and says updates are posted on Facebook. So, check FB (if you have it) before coming.

Cons: Not reliable

Very unique place and food;

Absolutely delicious, very high class food, it is very rare to find such great vegan food with such nice and hospitality atmosphere. There are raw food, cooked food. We had Quinoa Burger, open sandwich salad, red curry and chocolate bliss, all were super delicious. I am so happy with service also. The woman who owns the place provides a good and fast service. She is the great cook.

Best plant based food I have ever eaten.

Owner is so kind, warm, educational, and truly wants you to have a good experience. She puts a ridiculous amount of work into these delicious teas, soups, entrees, deserts. Have eaten here a couple times when I visit family in Florida. According to Facebook post 1/30/2021 she is close to opening new location. Can’t wait to visit in the spring.

Pros: All vegan / plant based, All made from scratch, She even grows some of the items herself!

Most delicious raw vegan organic food I’ve had in a while!

We had the macadamia cheese appetizer, the burrito and the quinoa burger and everything was absolutely delicious! Explosion of amazing flavors in your mouth. And the owner is the sweetest lady! Thank you for your little piece of paradise in Sarasota!

Warm owner & delicious tasty food

Wow! A wonderful meal after our Dr Morse conference in Punta Gorda.Rano the owner was helpful, kind and accommodating. She really loves what she does and it shows! Worth every penny and reasonable for the quality. I loved the spring rolls, she makes her coconut wrap homemade. PS: to add on I just ate here for a second time in October 2020. It was such a treat to be prepared another beautiful and tasty meal from Rano! Wow! Just as great as I remembered. My husband and I enjoyed every bite.

Pros: Tons of raw options, Customizable , Warm and inviting

Terrific

We had a great lunch. This is an all-vegan menu. Much of it is raw. We had the raw Pad Thai, Burger and Falafel. These were all different from other places, but all were delicious. This is a one-woman show. She preps, cooks, waits tables and cleans up. Whew!

Pros: All vegan, much of it raw, Interesting and different.

A must for healthy vegans

Really sweet owner who pours her heart into her food! There are a variety of hot and cold drinks. Also some lovely appetizers, soups and entrees. I went two days in a row and had the pad Thai and taco salad as well as both desserts and the spring rolls. It was all very good and of course super healthy. My only regret is not coming every day of the trip.

all vegan delights

we ate here a few weeks ago and are still talking about how good the meal was. most of the menu is raw. all of the dishes we tried were full of flavor, and so filling. desserts were heavenly. we will be going back again. the menu changes every week.

Pros: no need to ask if the selection is vegan.,

Cons: a bit pricey for meals
