"Absolutely love their new lunch menu!! I’ve been twice in one week and it was incredible each time. I asked for the tacos vegetarian (which I’m not a vegetarian) and they were so delicious! I also very much appreciate the options of fresh pressed juices and wellness shots! I also love that the wellness shot was served on ice. The outdoor patio is so nice all year around and I love that they open up all of the windows on the covered patio. My lunch date had the macro bowl with salmon and he loved it, said it was the best lunch. Our new favorite lunch spot in Sonoma County!"
