A great deal of thought has clearly gone into the ingredients used, the way they are served and the entire running of this organic delicatessan. Its owners not only serve deliciously good organic food, beverages and chocolate, but they appear to tick all the environmentally friendly boxes in what they serve – and how they serve it.
