Essene Market & Cafe

This place is crazy overpriced. I go here for few things. Hummus , olives & pita are reasonably priced, while a tomato or carrot may cost you $2 or $3 a piece!

Sampled the vegan and gluten free soups and a delicious whipped banana smoothie . Large selection and great service.

I don't love their vegan food offering but its a good grocery store for whole natural organic foods .

Look for the vegetarian wraps and a hot-foods bar with macrobiotic lasagna , braised tempeh with onions , and four rotating soups . Read more

The setain cheesesteak wrap is amazing!

2 words: macro lasagna .

vegan PB blondies

The vegan desserts can convert a die-hard butter & egg person.

Essene Market & Cafe is a good place to shop and eat at too!

The vegetarian buffet is good enough to turn you away from flesh consumption.

With Joe Cross

Their vegetable juices are surprisingly refreshing!

The cafe seems over priced but you would pay the same for a pizza .

Smells. So. Good.
