With a mission to make fresh and nutrient-rich food, SoFresh should be high on your next casual dining outing. You’ll find freshly-made food like bowls, wraps, and salads that complement an active or mindful lifestyle. The menu also accommodates a variety of eating preferences, like vegan, vegetarian, keto, paleo and gluten-free. The bright and relaxed café or the outside benches in the newly-constructed plaza are excellent places to eat your meal.

CROP

CROP serves up some of the most delectable, nutritiously-dense cold-pressed juices around. But it’s not just about the juice, you’ll also find vegan, organic, gluten-free food, juices, smoothies, smoothie bowls and more. CROP is crazy for leafy greens, which are all juiced separately and hand poured in specific amounts into each individual glass bottle (you’ll actually know exactly how many servings of veggies you’re about to consume).
