At Que SeRaw SeRaw, we believe you shouldn’t have to choose between healthy and delicious. Food can be both. We are on a mission to prove that treating our bodies well can also be a treat for our taste buds. A plant-based diet is good for both our bodies and our planet – individual health and global wellbeing go hand in hand. 

​

Plant-based food

We care deeply about the health of our planet and all of its inhabitants. All of our food is vegan (except for a small amount of local, raw honey we use in some of our desserts and dressings) because we choose not to contribute to animal suffering and factory farming. 

​

Organic, local ingredients

We use organic ingredients because we think that pesticides and chemical fertilizers do us more harm than good. We aim to prepare the freshest, healthiest, and most decadent foods possible, and that’s why we only use the highest quality ingredients. We support local, organic, and sustainable farmers and suppliers whenever possible. 
 

Creativity and innovation

Every recipe and food creation we make is developed by our very own chefs (the founder, Alicia Parnell, or the current owner, Kerry Bitner), and is created with love, inspiration, and care. We continually experiment with new creations, recipe ideas, and convenient food options we can add to our menu. Our customers tell us they love the variety we offer and our daily-changing menu, so they get to try different things. We also enjoy hosting raw vegan “cooking” classes and keep exploring new avenues on how to bring the healthiest, freshest plant-based foods to our community.

​

Openness and non-judgment

We believe in letting everyone find their own path and we welcome and value all our customers and their diets. Food choices are very personal, and we don’t presume that any certain way of eating is “the best.” We believe that you will taste and feel a difference when you try our food with the freshest, highest quality, minimally processed ingredients. We seek to make it easy, convenient, and fun for our customers to feel great about what they’re eating. 
 

Kindness, respect, and community support

We value and respect both our employees and our customers. Creating a positive and supportive environment is a top priority. We also strive to be good neighbors and are active supporters of our local community. 
 

Sustainability and environmental care

We make every effort to lessen our environmental impact and hope to lead by example. That’s why all of our packaging (containers, utensils, straws, to-go bags, etc.) are compostable (except for the small snack bags we use for our crackers; we currently seek more sustainable, yet safe and convenient alternatives for them). 

 

While our to-go containers may look clear, they’re really very green: they are made from renewable plant materials and designed to break down in commercial composting bins.

 

You can dispose of our compostable packaging at your own or a public commercial composting site. If you don’t have access to that service, we encourage you to bring your containers back to us in the store so we can dispose of them sustainably.

Our ultimate goal is to reduce and eventually eliminate all single-use to-go containers.

 

We always welcome your ideas and collaboration to make a positive impact on our personal health and global well-being.
