For plant-based dining in Carlsbad, Sher the love of cooking operates an all-vegan, all-organic café at The Island food court on Van Allen Way, built around house-made superfood sauces and dressings produced on-site since the concept launched in 2018. The menu centers on grain bowls, signature salads, paninis, and plant-based burgers dressed in proprietary raw sauces also distributed in retail bottle form, sourcing organic fruits and vegetables through the same North County supply channels that stock Jimbo's - Carlsbad. A California Green Business Badge — awarded by the City of Carlsbad — certifies the café's use of compostable packaging, organic produce, and eco-certified cleaning supplies across the entire operation. Beverage options extend to Chaga-cacao elixirs, turmeric lattes, and house-brewed kombucha, rounding out a 100-percent plant-based drink program more supplement-dense than typical vegan café menus and distinct from the tortilla-focused plant-based format at Más Veggies Vegan Taqueria. The AVO Elixir combines Chaga mushroom, raw cacao, maca root, coconut sugar, and cinnamon in a single functional hot beverage designed around four adaptogenic and superfood compounds.
