Food, Beverage and Restaurants

  • fudenjüce, http://www.fudenjuce.com, Nevada City: At fudenjüce, we are committed to serving delicious, fresh food that's good for you! We recognize the honor bestowed upon us when you choose us to nourish you! From the beginning, 17 years ago, we made a conscious decision that our café would be inclusive, rather than exclusive. We had personally experienced the ‘hipster-style vegetarian cafes’ where if you weren't 'cool' enough, but just wanted to try it out, you were made to feel like an outcast there. We wanted no part of that. As a reminder, whether you are brown, bi-sexual, older, purple, husky, a traveler, transgender, couch-surfing, a little kid, Peruvian, extra-tatted up, or anything else, YOUR ENERGY IS INVITED AND WELCOME HERE. The only thing NOT welcome here, is intolerance and disrespect for others & the path that they have chosen to walk for themselves.
