Kitty and her team research every aspect of the ingredients to ensure they are environmentally friendly - along with being 100% devoid of animal products - and of course, delicious. There's no cooking by frying, refined sugar, animal products or peanuts used on the menu and everything is sourced with a grow-your-own mentality - most of the waste from the eatery is either recycled or put in a compost.
