text: We live about miles from this restaurant so it took us many months to find an opportunity to eat here After a strenuous hike at South Mountain Park I forced my boyfriend to take me to Pomegranate Cafe for a late lunch I saw this restaurant on Check Please Arizona several months ago and since we are watching our gluten and animal product intake I was excited to try it My boyfriend is French and graduated from culinary school in France So needless to say he is freaking picky as hell Taking him to new restaurants that I choose can be a nightmare nnSo on to the food I had the lumberjack sandwich and since I was really starving I ordered the kale salad as well The boyfriend had the omelet of the day with fresh herbs and veggies EVERYTHING was delicious It is a miracle After the complaining about not being able to order a cold beer after our hour hike he shut up and ate everything commenting on how good it was This is nothing short of a miraclennThe staff is very nice friendly and helpful I am in the service business so I really appreciate thatnnThe ingredients are top notch and thoughtfully put together and so good The hash that is on the side of the sandwich and the omelet was so good I would have just had a big bowl of that For dessert we had the Caribbean pineapple coconut cheesecake and a chocolate pomegranate cake ball and a chocolate macaroon The French guy loved the cheesecake and he is an expert on cheesecake All the chocolate desserts were super good and the coffee was great toonnI will say we tried Green vegetarian restaurant about years ago and that was a disaster We also went to Santa Monica last summer and tried Real Food Daily which we thought was kind of bland So to get the boyfriend to try another vegetarian place was rather difficult We might actually be back Like I said we live far away but we could make a day out of having lunch and then hitting Trader Joes next door So convenient nnThank you the staff at Pomegranate Cafe for putting out such a quality product You guys are great
