Open Up and Say Om

Om Garden Opens

Once upon a time there was a maiden who was always fair, sweet, and kind.

Except when a pay-to-park machine is out of order. Then bitch goes bonkers.

On those days, she should go to the newly opened Om Garden to recharge on organic, vegan, and raw fare.

First step, Mystical Mushr-Oms (not the kind that make you think you’re a bunny). These come with sundried tomato sauce and are filled with pinenut cheese and topped with pesto. Follow with a Cosmic Salad (spinach, candied walnuts, dried cherries, mango). Pizzas, burgers, wraps, and rolls are all homemade with no meat or dairy.

Best of all, even the blueberry-lavender “cheesecake” and cashew-crusted chocolate mousse pie are healthy. Owner Dionette Kalkhofer has catered to the fashion industry for eight years, so she knows how to make tasty food without sugar.

Now there’s your moment of Zen.

Om Garden, 379 Southwest 15th Road (305-856-4433 or omgardenonline.com).
