| Raspberry Cheesecake! |
Beet’s Living Foods Cafe, that is. Beet’s Cafe features vegan and raw foods, a diet which the owner Sylvia Heisey believes is both healthy and has life-changing benefits. While you may be squirming at the idea of a completely raw meal, the food at Beet’s is quite amazing.
Being a quirky Austin restaurant, they have some very interesting menu choices. There is a spectacular variety of salads and appetizers to choose from, all of which are worth your while. For the entrees, Beet’s offers “ELT”s (Eggplant-Lettuce-Tomato) to Cha-lu-pas, to Raw Reuben (a dish that frequents the 5 star reviews on Yelp and other review sites). Even the drinks menu is so diverse: they have everything from mocha frappes, to “green berry” smoothies to beet juice. Check out the entire menu here.
The food of course is amazing, but it really pales in comparison to the desserts. The chocolate cheesecake? Oh. My. God. It is to die for. I’m not even kidding. The first time I had it, I started off skeptical... I mean, uncooked cake? But after the first bite, I was hooked. Beet’s has daily desserts which often include a new cheesecake flavor (strawberry, raspberry, green tea...). Also, the raw/vegan ice cream is very nice. If you want to try your hand at making raw cheesecake, try this recipe.

Both the ambiance and food of Beet’s Cafe leave you feeling happy and energized. After a meal at Beet’s, one can't help but agree with owner Sylvia: good food=happiness.

ReplyDeleteI love raw food stuff so I have to check this out! Another great place for scrum-diddly-umptious raw foods (and smoothies) is Daily Juice. You might want to check it out. Thanks for the recommendation!
