New Natural Store
12.12.12
Avanti Café just launched Avanti Natural Store to make it easier to order their delicious vegan cookies and other gourmet organic treats made daily at their kitchen. (We’ve never tasted better snickerdoodles in our lives, and they’re vegan!) It’s also a perfect time to order holiday treats to share with friends and family.
Choose from tangy oat chew cookies, brownies, chocolate truffle cookies, vegan snickerdoodle cookies, vegan chocolate chip pecan cookies, and mix ‘n’ match spices and salts such as its margarita salt that rims the glasses of Avanti’s award winning margaritas. As a special for Greer’s OC readers, you can take 20% off your orders of $25 or more by entering the promo code GREER. Locals can pick up orders at Avanti Cafe for zero shipping.
Avanti Café is at 259 E. 17th St. in Costa Mesa. 949.548.2224
