Shameless plug: please consider us a contender for Best Vegetarian/Vegan Restaurant and Best Brunch! »Vote Now!

Summer is here! Get ready for lazy hours on the beach, perfectly ripe watermelon, and tube rides down our Florida rivers! For many of us, summer also means barbecue parties where the only vegan item is plain corn on the cob, no butter. For the summer, we're offering our delicious BBQ Seitan Skewers as part of our take-away catering menu - just throw them on the grill! Other popular items now available include Mac n' Cheese, Cole Slaw, and Mashed Potatoes and Gravy. Visit our catering page online for complete details!

We are pleased to announce the gift certificate winners* for June: Brent Buffington has won a $25 gift certificate in the new subscriber drawing, and Denise Imhoff has won a $10 gift certificate in the existing subscriber drawing. Congratulations to both, and thank you to all for your continued support of our establishment. (*Drawing rules are available online.)

Thank you for your interest, and we look forward to seeing you at the restaurant!

Sincerely,
Laina & Kelly Shockley
Owners, Ethos Vegan Kitchen
Hours: Mon-Sat, 11am-10pm, and Sun 10am-3pm.
