In Short
Perhaps no business takes Fort Greene's environmental sensibilities to heart quite like this cafe. The thick moldings, church pews and ballasts that overload the space were rescued from Washington Square Park's "Peace Church." About 95 percent of the ingredients in the juices, smoothies and sandwiches are organic and from local farms. Forget V-8, hardcore veggies have the green power smoothie, which is $7.50. The commitment to sustainability extends to the packaging, which is all biodegradable.

I am not a fan of traditional organic fare but I do love this place. We were drawn in by the incredible smells. The muffins come out of the oven at 8 so be ready. Apple spice (sans sugar) is amazing.

The service used to be lacking, some of the staff was even rude on occasion (they are gone now)- I agree with those reviews. BUT... All of that is in the past! I am so grateful that our adorable little hood has this yummy juice bar. I go there all the time. The new staff is super friendly (Eric and that other Spanish speaking guy whose name evades me - they are really wonderful and generous souls) and the chai is delish. I am trying not to eat all those delectable muffins and treats because it's that time of year, you know? Anyway, I highly recommend the brazil nut chai, tempeh sandwich, muffins, and the tropical smoothie. And I recommend that you stop by there!!

The coffee is out of this world, as are the juices and smoothies. I also love the sandwiches and freshly baked wheat free muffins and cookies. But I will not go there anymore because I am tired of being treated as though I am invading someone's personal space. Which is too bad because I am the kind of person who will go out of her way to support local sustainable businesses, even if it means that it costs me a bit more.
