Either the mushroom and spinach or the sundried tomato with pineapple and cashew “cheese” will have you returning for more. Their raw desserts are both divinely indulgent and rich in raw fruits, cacao, nuts and seeds (therefore, guilt free and good for you).[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
