He started by learning how to make kombuchas - fermented tea - and yogurt. “I’d really like to create a place where people can come and eat things to offset all the other things,” including those that may not be as healthy, that they are put into their bodies.Īngeloff discovered in his twenties “that making yogurt was as simple as flipping a few cultures into a bit of milk and leaving it to warm up.” The cafe, located near the corner of State and Edwards streets, is essentially the sum total “of all the things that for years I’ve been preaching,” said Angeloff, who lives nearby in the East Rock neighborhood.Īll of the ingredients he uses “come from local farms” and/or are of “the ultimate quality,” he said.
“Either they’re fed up with western medicine or their doctors tell them they can’t take anymore Tylenol.”Īlthough his naturally-cultured products “can be very helpful to pump the brakes on an inflammatory cycle,” they’re not the end-all and be-all, said Angeloff, who favors living a healthier lifestyle to avoid getting to that point. “I find a lot of people turn to natural health products when their health already has turned for the worse,” said Angeloff, whose mother is Wendy Silver.

Matcha? Absolutely - enhanced with some other stuff designed to keep you nice and lucid. “You’d be hard-pressed to think of a chronic ailment that doesn’t trace back to the gut,” said Angeloff, wearing a old, black Rush concert shirt from the 1981 “Moving Pictures Tour.”īut that doesn’t mean you can’t have all of the coffee shop stuff you crave - in a comfortable place to sit that is filled with green houseplants, has parts of old pine tree limbs mounted on the walls, fluffy white cotton “clouds” floating around the ceiling, a model of the solar system in one corner and old Silver’s Drug Shop memorabilia on the walls.Įspresso shots?
