We’re James, Yumi, & Yisrael

Husband and wife. Family & food. On a mission to nourish body, soul, and community.

Dear Valued Guests

We’re a small, family-owned bistro passionate about organic, high-integrity food. This season, we’ve focused our menu on what we do best: organic crepes and New Zealand-style real fruit ice cream, crafted with care and clean ingredients.

After years of eating out and feeling foggy, bloated, and drained, we realized food should truly nourish. By keeping our menu simple, we ensure freshness, quality, and integrity—without compromise.

🍽️ What We Serve

A carefully curated menu made from organic, thoughtfully sourced ingredients:

• Sweet & Savory Organic Crepes

• Real Fruit Ice Cream (made to order)

• Seasonal Soups & Fresh Salads

• Rotating Specials (featuring local, beautiful produce)

• Specialty Organic Coffee & Tea

• Sulfite-Free Wines & Local Craft Beers (Bistro only)

🌿 What Makes Us Different

We proudly use:

• Organic A2 dairy & pasture-raised eggs (Alexandre, Straus, Azure Standard)

• Cold-pressed olive oil & unrefined coconut oil

• Expeller-pressed sesame oil in house-made sauces

• Local, seasonal produce whenever possible

• Air fryer for crisp, delicious dishes without excess oil

We never use MSG, seed oils, artificial additives, or conventional dairy. Every ingredient is chosen for integrity, nutrition, and flavor.

🌱 Our Food Philosophy

Food should be:

• Clean – made without compromise

• Nourishing – for body, soul, and spirit

• Respectful – to the land, farmers, and future generations

We compost or repurpose food scraps, and all prices include tax for simplicity. As a fully owner-operated business, we’re personally involved in every dish.

⚠️ Gluten-Free Crepe Update (Effective May 20, 2025)

• We’ve discontinued gluten-free crepes due to sourcing and kitchen limitations.

• Many menu items are gluten-friendly, but:

  • Meals are prepared in a shared space

  • We cannot guarantee zero cross-contact

  • Not recommended for severe gluten allergies

Thank you for understanding as we maintain the highest food standards.
