Guest guest Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Elaine,Checked out website. This is not really a raw eatery. They have some vegan and vegetarian items on the menu and other conventional (although organic) deli items (wraps and the like). I probably would not check this place out because 1. They have too many food options that I can make easily myself at home. 2. They have blatant typos on their website. Maybe I am picky, but the website typos suggest to me that they may not pay attention to details...like my food.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 I work not far from the wellness cafe and have eaten at this place several times. I found it by googling raw food restaurants in D.C. I've seen the place before, but had no idea the food was this good. After looking at the menu I wanted to try it out and try it out I did. The food is delicious and the smoothies are great as well. IThe first time,I had the grilled chicken (absolutly delicious) and I've had the portabello mushroom sandwich (one of my favorites). I took a friend the second time and they had the salmon burger and really liked it. This same friend and I were outside talking and we started talking about how we had been thinking about the smoothies from the wellness cafe. They suggested that we should go at that moment and I agreed. We went for smoothies only and ending up having the salmon sandwich.........fresh and yummy. Also I recommended it to a picky coworker of mine and she simply loved it. This all happened in the month of July and August of this year. I will visit this place again and again and hope you will too.--- On Sun, 8/9/09, Asia Bleu <asiableu9 wrote: Asia Bleu <asiableu9Re: Raw Eatery in DC Date: Sunday, August 9, 2009, 1:00 PM Elaine,Checked out website.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Okay, am I seeing things or is this not a raw food café whatsoever. I mean its nice to have options, but I thought that most people here were at least vegetarians. I am all for supporting businesses in the community, but a Raw Food forum should emphasize….raw food….mentioning chicken and salmon is a personal turn off here…..im just sayin. This place sounds like any average healthy food option place…you can get a salad anywhere though.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Skai is damn straight about "Wellness Cafe" not being a "raw-friendly" let alone vegetarian restaurant by any stretch of the imagination. I'm no less disgusted and offended by the reference to a dish comprised primarily by pieces of any murdered animal as "absolutely delicious" or any other positive description. Whether or not anyone else on this list has any concern for nonhuman animals' natural rights, the fate of Mother Earth, the plight of starving, malnourished human populations in poor nations or even one's physical or mental health, it behooves all of us on this list to at the bare minimum at least express some genuine interest in promoting topics directly pertinent to the nutritional benefits of the raw vegan diet, not one that includes animal products (obviously including honey, a.k.a. bee vomit), and all the better to emphasize major elements of Dr. Douglas Graham's "80-10-10 Diet" for optimal health. The low-fat raw vegan diet is essentially what nature designed us to practice to the best of our ability. If we take dietary lessons from our much more intelligent and saner nonhuman primate cousins, especially bonobos and chimpanzees, our quality and quantity of life will markedly improve far beyond our wildest imaginations, akin to the theme song's message at the end of the film, "Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory" as sung by Gene Wilder. This creative notion just floated across my stream of consciousness. To the best of my knowledge, there are zero restaurants in the entire DC or Baltimore region that spec ifically cater to raw vegan appetites. Those retaurants that cater to vegans are simply not raw-friendly in any measurable degree, particularly in terms of organically grown ingrdients. Delights of the Garden, the ingenius creation of the eminent Imar Hutchins in DC and elsewhere, is ancient history. Namaste, David "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." --Benjamin Franklin "Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country." --Pres.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Peace, I don't know what to say but I will first start by saying anyone who has been to Senbeb Cafe in the last 2 years knows that there is a full raw organic vegan vegetarian and whatever other term is to your liking Menu everyday!!! :-). We have hosted the Northern VA raw food meetup group more than once and even the father of raw food gourmet, Dr. Aris Latham spent a week in May of 2008 preparing the raw food for the restaurant. As a raw vegetarian (i personally don't like the word vegan) for almost 10 years and spent the last 6 with Aris knowing the ins and outs of the sunfire philosophy all of that goes into the food I prepare daily. I would also like to mention all due respect to my brother Imar and the D.O.G. crew, their food was never organic and never all raw. I was a student at HU during their heyday on Georgia Ave and even worked there. Their main staple food, kush, was in everything, never could sprout, and mucus forming cooked starch. Not raw friendly but yes, innovative for its time. In the end, delights became DOG food (soy burgers and whatever else they could put in the microwave). Also, in Fells Point, Baltimore, Liquid Earth has a surprisingly good raw menu. The burger is very tasty and so is the spinach salad. The chef does use liquid aminos but still another option if Senbeb is out of reach. Last but not least, in addition to Quest and Everlasting Life, Java Green at least tries to make an effort with a small raw menu. To say that their is no raw options in DC area is a personal offense to myself and what I have committed my life to.

To the best of my knowledge, there are zero restaurants in the entire DC or Baltimore region that specifica > lly cater to raw vegan appetites. Those retaurants that cater to vegans are simply not raw-friendly in any measurable degree, particularly in terms of organically grown ingrdients. Delights of the Garden, the ingenius creation of the eminent Imar Hutchins in DC and elsewhere, is ancient history. > > > > Namaste, > > David > > > >  " Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

I will visit this place again and again and hope you will too. > > --- On Sun, 8/9/09, Asia Bleu <asiableu9 wrote: > > > Asia Bleu <asiableu9 > Subje > ct: Re: Raw Eatery in DC > > Sunday, August 9, 2009, 1:00 PM > > >  > Elaine, > > Checked out website. This is not really a raw eatery. They have some vegan and vegetarian items on the menu and other conventional (although organic) deli items (wraps and the like). I probably would not check this place out because 1.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 I must openly admit I neglected to remember Senbeb Cafe among the raw options in DC and I give Khepra utmost credit for preparing heavenly raw vegan dishes with superb-quality ingredients due to his superb talent. Granted, Imar's food was never made with organic igredients, which is an issue I have with another popular vegan restauranteur closer to my neck of the woods, who shall politely remain nameless. However, Imar's kush was not in every dish, as you could ask him to omit it from certain combinations if you so desired. I was a more naive vegan when I last ate there, but not completely raw yet, so it didn't occur to me till later. The word "vegan" was coined by Donald Watson in the U.K. to distinguish the conventional notion of "vegetarian" in the Western world, which generally includes all animal products except flesh according to less enlightened mindsets, from pure or total vegetarians who inherently avoid all animal products (from animals' bodies) including honey by definition. I could never understand why so many people writing on this list so often promote cooked "food" including animal products, as well as honey, even in its raw form, as if this is genuinely beneficial to humans, aside from what its use by humans does to bees as individuals and species. Once again, sorry to have offended Khepra for forgetting about his restaurant & talent, but living in Baltimore County with essentially no technically raw organic restaurants per se makes culinary rec reation a rather depressing affair. The only truly superior option I had until about 2 years ago, when she unfortunately closed down, was Jody Allen's Loving Life Cafe in New Oxford, PA. Her dishes were completely raw & vegan & almost entirely made from organically grown ingredients. What a shame that a plumbing issue forced her to move onto to other ventures.

Theodore Roosevelt, 1908 Khepra Anu <khepra Mon, Aug 17, 2009 2:18 pm Re: Raw Eatery in DC Peace, I don't know what to say but I will first start by saying anyone who has been to Senbeb Cafe in the last 2 years knows that there is a full raw organic vegan vegetarian and whatever other term is to your liking Menu everyday!!! :-). We have hosted the Northern VA raw food meetup group more than once and even the father of raw food gourmet, Dr. Aris Latham spent a week in May of 2008 preparing the raw food for the restaurant. As a raw vegetarian (i personally don't like the word vegan) for almost 10 years and spent the last 6 with Aris knowing the ins and outs of the sunfire philosophy all of that goes into the food I prepare daily. I would also like to mention all due respect to my brother Imar and the D.O.G. crew, their food was never organic and never all raw. I was a student at HU during their heyday on Georgia Ave and even worked there. Their main staple food, kush, was in everything, never could sprout, and mucus forming cooked starch. Not raw friendly but yes, innovative for its time. In the end, delights became DOG food (soy burgers and whatever else they could put in the microwave). Also, in Fells Point, Baltimore, Liquid Earth has a surprisingly good raw menu. The burger is very tasty and so is the spi nach salad. The chef does use liquid aminos but still another option if Senbeb is out of reach. Last but not least, in addition to Quest and Everlasting Life, Java Green at least tries to make an effort with a small raw menu. To say that their is no raw options in DC area is a personal offense to myself and what I have committed my life to. Khepra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
