In Short – Half of this two-room health food spot houses a long dark-wood counter filled with baked goods, such as flaxseed muffins and vegan brownies. In the dining room, sponge-painted hearts decorate the walls, while jazz CDs are played in a patron-operated stereo. Earthy locals sip free-trade coffee or pair juice drinks, like the Green Genie (apple, banana, wheat grass, and lime), with hickory-smoked tempeh sandwiches, cups of three-bean chili, or chick pea and mango stew.
