Fall Season
Vegan Cheesecakes - Order time!
Hi Neighbors, I am always struck by how friendly our neighborhood is...and we just wanted to take a sec to say thank you for supporting ESL!
We are different... our v/vg/gf/raw options dictate SMALL batches made daily and fresh food is our aim. We like it and hope you do too.
Hey - for anyone who may want a vegan cheesecake for the holiday, now is the time to pre-order! Just come by or give me a call, deposit and date for pick up! Take some pressure off your cooking season!!
Our Chai Tea Lattes have been the top seller lately - along with the Japanese Iced Coffee - but, this time of year my cravings gear toward the Pumpkin Spice (REAL Pumpkin/Utopia) and Mocha varieties of coffees! Hot Chocolate too.. (we make our own)
Swing by, we'd love to see you...Eastway Crossing Shopping Center is rapidly growing and change is GOOD!!! See you all soon..
Brenda, Gina, Madalyn, Mahalia & Michael!
