The Carrot Cafe

In conjunction with the
store is the Carrot Cafe,
specializing in fresh carrot
and apple juice, freshly baked
bread, an assortment of
sandwiches, and smoothies–a
milkshake-like drink made with
yogurt, wheat germ, honey and
fruit. Also among the items on
the menu are lentil soup,
raw corn, pumpkin seeds, and
$.05 herbal teas.

Both Marsha Guzallis, who
runs the Cafe and Ms. Apple
were turned on to eating
natural foods in San Francisco.
It was there that Ms. Apple
worked in a health food store
and read extensively on the
subject of nutrition. M.W.
Walker's book "Become
Younger" was the catalyst for
Ms. Guzallis's interest in natural
foods; then after her baby
was born she became even
more concerned with foods.
