Back to M Cafe de Chaya, we find ourselves wanting to connect with this "contemporary" macrobiotic, California health conscientious world~ So here we are AGAIN:)We ordered the house salad.. whoopla! An orgainic mocha with rice milk; and some cooked samon sushi.. cooked ya… it was delightful and unexpected.. but then isn’t sushi raw.. whatever.. no need to be rigid in the realm of health and well being… KEYWORD... chill.
The M Chopped ~ 11.45
The house salad is a party of fresh flavors topped with groupings of ….
organic hearts of romaine & mixed greens, avocado, cucumber, chickpeas, herb-baked tofu, scallions, ume-pickled radishes, carrots, beets, tamari-roasted almonds, crumbled tempeh “bacon” , tossed with tofu-peppercorn ranch. We thought it was dill dressing because the dill tops off the salad and pieces of fresh dill imbue the whole thing… kinda overpowering. The tempeh was kinda weird in texture and non-distinct flavor.
Wild Salmon Cucumber Roll ~ 2 each 2.50The sushi-ISH style role contained chopped salmon, seven-spiced soy mayo, cucumber & avocado. 2 words – yummy and refreshing, made this delectable treat the show stopper. Tasty, flavor rolling onto the pallette satiating the inner fiish eating monger. What a reprieve from all those veggies.
Organic Coffee ~ sm 2.25 ~ lg 2.75
The mocha was weak and way off target.. it could have been really good coffee.
Strong.. robust.. with the alternative milk thing.. but it felt “token-ish”. No love baby! We recommend M Cafe de Chaya kick it up a notch..in the coffee bean department-? M Cafe could gain a really big following if the quality in the coffee dept edged up a bit. Not only that,,, get some quasi coffee dudes to grind up M Cafe espressos.. man o man!! Pastries and espresso,,, what more could an afternoon break ask for?
