My uptown appearances are rare, but when I am there I like to try new things. Today I had the pleasure of spending the midmorning/afternoon hours with my friend Colleen. Beyond catching up with one another which is always wonderful and needed, I have to comment on the little cafe we chose to stop at for lunch. The cafe is called Tao Foods Cafe (part of Tao Natural Foods) check out their website here. They are organic and holistic, and I loved it. The place has been open since the 1970's and has come to be a beautiful and tasty little operation. Apparently they recently added a cafe section to it which is the only part of the store that I visited. (I've spent enough money on supplements/vitamins/herbs lately I didn't even dare to visit the back of the store).
I must say that I tried the Jade Splendor juice blend, which although a steep price ($6.50 for a glass of juice), the combination of apple, pear, parsley and lemon was AMAZING and so refreshing! Well worth it...(So good that I am blogging about it!) Just the pick-me-up I needed and very satisfying.
Which also reminds me that I still have a dream of making my own cookbook, and I need to remember to bind together some thoughts for creating my own Jade Splendor concoction! Thank you Tao Foods Cafe, Jade Splendor and Co for reminding me of one of my life dreams :)
Now...where to start?
