Description:  Sejuiced is not an obvious place, and as our retail advisor indicated, it was a bit of a hidden gem.  Located in a small space alongside other store fronts, it is unobtrusive enough that you might not think to enter.  The theme here is organic and vegetarian, with plenty of juicing going on.  But it seemed to offer GF options, so we gave it a go.

My dining partner went with the “Ecstacies of Freshness” salad with a piquant Super (veggie) Burger.  Both fit the bill and fulfilled the vegetable craving.  On placing my order at the counter, the server knew about the soy sauce issue and helped me to steer clear of danger.  I ventured the Swami-G bowl with tahini sauce, crispy fresh vegetables, tofu, and brown rice.  The sauce was simple and I could have used a bit more spice or mouth flame, but the combination was comfortably filling and I left suspecting I’d gained a couple of years of healthy life.  They also have GF bread on hand, from a bakery I did not recognize.  The bread was mouth-sucking dry—average for mass-made GF bread—but the very fact they had it in store scored them points. 

If you are looking to extend your shopping or business efforts with a healthy fill-me-up, give these guys a try.
