The Kingston area is up-and-coming, says Shani, and the time is right to offer healthy alternatives for lunch. Gluten-free is becoming increasingly popular, she says, as more people find that even if they’re not allergic to gluten, they feel better when they eliminate it from their diet. Using fresh ingredients and locally sourced produce, the sisters plan to keep the menu selections a constant flow of new ideas and creative takes on the classics.
Sandwiches start at $5.25. Paninis topped with imaginative pairings like goat cheese and pickled beets range from $8 to $9, with a “Sweet Tooth” panini of banana and Nutella at $6. A variety of entrée-sized salads are offered, and everything can be customized, says Shani. The breakfast menu starts at $2.50 for an egg-and-cheese-on-hard-roll and features a selection of breakfast wraps at $6.25, like the “Greek Wrap” made with eggs, spinach, olive tapenade and feta. Fresh baked goods will vary, the selection currently including berry or chocolate scones. A full-on steak-and-egg breakfast made with grilled roast beef and horseradish mayo is available at $6.75.
