Last night my vegan friend Nik and I were on our way to RFD for dessert when I realized that there was a new vegan cafe opening in Santa Monica that I wanted to check out. We swung by and saw it full of people, so we went inside. The display case was a little empty, but there were a few good looking desserts. Right after we ordered a chocolate cookie and a lemon bundt cake, the owner (Aaron) approached us and explained that they weren't actually open yet and were just having a private party! So, we accidentally crashed the party, but Aaron gave us the desserts on the house and invited us back for the grand opening tomorrow (Tuesday the 7th). The desserts were pretty good - no wow factor, but good enough for me to check it out again, and I'm always glad to have a new vegan place on the Westside! The staff was super friendly and the atmosphere reminds me of RFD - cozy and 2 stories. In fact, a former RFD employee now works at Golden Mean.
