Welcome!

Hello Friends, Family, Living Food Lovers or those of you "Raw Curious" that have happened upon this blog :)!

We are so excited to be projecting our re-opening this coming Tuesday, April 27th at 10:30am! The Art Of Food Living Community Cafe will keep the schedule you are familiar with: Tuesday - Saturday 10:30am to 9:30pm.

If you are one of our regular customers, believe in this vision and all the goodness that comes from Organic Living Foods and would like to take this opportunity, you can purchase a voucher though our Paypal account (you don't need a Paypal account to do this) and receive more value. For example, if you spend $500. you receive a voucher for $575. to spend on our prepared food! How cool is that? You will receive email confirmation of your purchase and we will send you a voucher in the amount that you chose. It's really THAT easy...just look to the left for the Voucher purchase button!

The Menu here at the Art of Food is broadening...and we are thrilled! Just a quick preview for you...We are working diligently to bring you MORE as an "evolutionary" process. So, expect more to be added piece by piece as we progress and settle into new ownership, management and culture.

What to expect...
More "Tonics" including drinkable Kombuchas by the glass or bottle, coconut water, medicinal teas, energy teas, cleanse brews, chillin' teas, our own Hot & Ice Tea blends, more fresh squeezed Juice combos and Smoothies!

New Delicious Soups!
New Appetizers (Just you wait! We are working on some delish stuff over here!)
Now always on the menu: Pizza 3 ways, our "Burgs" 3 ways, our NEW sandwiches 3 ways, Nachos, Enchiladas, Lasagna, New Salads....AND...Chef Tony's "Walk About" Menu. What is that, you ask? Chef Tony will be releasing a new Appetizer or Soup, Entree and Dessert for a different region every month. I can hardly wait to see what he's coming out with...he's made mention of French Cuisine as his first release. :)
The Little People Menu! What better way to nourish your child than with the freshest organic whole foods possible? We think your children should be honored with good nutrition that is tailored to THEIR palette!
Desserts! Yup, well loads of good stuff including our Ice Cream. You won't be disappointed.

Need to pop in and "Grab N Go"? Of course we will be offering what you are familiar with...Prepared Menu Items, Ala Carte...PLUS crackers, breads, dips, our house granola, desserts,unbaked pastry items, truly Raw nut butters, hummus, pate's, Nutmilks, sauces, dressings and ready to eat crunchies. Our commitment to you? Our food is carefully prepared fresh to ensure its vibrancy for 3-4 days from day of purchase. Period!

More Good News...We are making a commitment to our guests...you CAN dine here, and walk out the door in 40 minutes during lunch. If we can't provide that to you, your meal is on the house. Of course, you are welcome for as long as you wish! Please let your server know if you have time limitations and you plan to enjoy appetizer, entree and dessert so we can keep things flowing for you!

Additionally, we will now be accepting major Credit Cards! Yippee!

It's ALL LOVE AND ALL GOOD! We Can't Wait To See You!
