restaurant practicing gluten awareness

[Guest guest]

Hello to all,

There is a new restaurant in Santa Cruz, called the 418 Organic Cafe, on 418, Front Street, in the dance gallery.

It is a co-op restaurant, a non profit organisation, and the people who cook there are dedicated to the highest level of quality when it comes to food ingredients and their preparation.

The food is 100% organic, vegan, and all is living food: entrees, cakes, soups, etc... Not only delicious, their food is guaranteed to give you an energy boost and make you feel very good. All at more than reasonable price.

I have requested they use wheat free tamari and they did. I go there about twice a week when I am too busy to cook and have never been disappointed. The women in the kitchen are aware of gluten intolerance, and you just have to ask them which plates at the menu are gluten free.

If you cannot stand hippie atmosphere, it may be not for you. I am not a hippie, but I love to eat there. The only comparable food I have found around is at the Klein's restaurant, Roxanne, in Larkspur. However, the price range is very, very different.

I like to promote places that practice "gluten awareness".

Their phone number is 831-466-9770.

They are open Monday - Friday: 11 am to 3pm, 5 pm to 10 pm and for special events.

Bon appetit!
