New Head Chef and Awesome New Menu!

We're so thrilled to announce the latest member of our ELR Family Chris Slawson as Head Chef and kitchen manager. Chris is a well-trained raw food chef with experience from the days of Terra Bella down south and more recently as executive chef at the newly opened GLOW cafe in Sun Valley, Idaho. He is super-knowledgeable and really understands the philosophy of our food.

He's also helped us to renew our menu - come in and meet him and try one of our new spring dishes, like this yummy Superfood Salad Bowl!

New Extended Hours!

Just in time for Spring: we are now open and serving everyday from 10am - 9pm
