Warm tender mahogany colored protein-packed quinoa serves as the foundation for a medley of flavors in a powerhouse quinoa bowl. Seasonal roasted vegetables, like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, yellow squash or carrots, are nestled in each bite, like colorful gems.  A savory aromatic blend of herbs brings out the nuttiness of the quinoa, while bright green avocado stuns and adds cool creaminess to the hearty bowl. For a boost, get a perfectly poached egg to top it off.

Grounded in the Nolita eatery’s Brazilian roots, the tapioca crepes are both colorful and unique treats. Each gluten-free crepe kisses a different part of the rainbow, inside and out. The texture is hypnotizing, like bubbles popping with each bite. The bold pink crepe gets its color from dehydrated beets mixed into the cassava flour to create the crunchy shell. Inside, the house-made cashew cream mingles with red tomato and silky avocado for a textured savory. The kale infused green crepe oozes with salty Gruyere cheese and roasted red onions. They come in sweet varieties, too. Sweet, golden yellow banana jam and fat coconut flakes make for a tropical dessert. Each tapioca crepe is a picture of contrasting colors and flavors that come together harmoniously.
