Peach Season Is In Full Swing!
In celebration of this wonderful time of year, we have created the Fresh Peach Tart for you to enjoy. But you better hurry!
Peaches are thought to have originated in China, which is still the biggest producer of peaches worldwide. In this country, Georgia claims to be the “Peach State”, but California produces the most peaches in the United States.
Peach season locally runs from early June until late October, but we think they are at their sweetest and juiciest right now.
Our Fresh Peach Tart has layers of vanilla pastry creme and peach puree inside of our almond shortbread crust. The whole thing is topped off with lots of farm fresh peaches.
It is a work of art showcasing the freshness of the summer season. But it won’t be around for long, so come in and try one today.

While we are over-indulging in our new menu’s offerings (mmm…tempeh bacon…), we know that some of our rookie plates had a rough takeoff.
Not to be discouraged, we took a glass-half-full approach with the constructive criticism we’ve received by realizing our devoted customers care enough to let us know where our shortcomings are.
One customer told us via blog comment that she was disappointed by the Vegan Black Bean & Plantain Quesadilla. Not satisfied by the consistency or moisture of the plantain, this customer’s high hopes for our new quesadilla were a bit dashed. In the same letter, she wrote that our veggie patty was not cutting it. It “used to have a nice ‘meaty’ consistency, with great flavor”, she said, while she’d experienced our new patty to “mush and crumble meekly out the side of the bun”.
Her comments were a buzz through the cafe this morning, and immediately ideas were exchanged. What can we do to make sure the plantain in the VBBP Quesadilla is consistently delicious? What’s up with the veggie patty, and how can we fix it? While opinions were voiced and potential changes were planned, we realized this customer’s insights (like many we’ve received from you) were just what we needed. It still stings a little to hear a customer’s tale of an unsatisfactory meal, but we can take it!
Your input helps us focus on what you want for your next Mani’s meal. So let us know; don’t hold back. The good and the bad, we want to hear what’s on your plate.
