Pad Thai Rolls / Credit: Raw Can Roll Cafe

There are very few places I'll travel an hour to have lunch. One is Terrain at Styers in Glen Mills and the other, the Raw Can Roll Cafe in Wayne. I got introduced to them when owner Sheryll Chavarria started the cafe just down the road from me in Douglassville, a place that has never seen a restaurant centered on raw, vegan food. About two years ago they made the move to Wayne and I have been trekking there ever since to get my fix of their magical sprouted sunflower hummus, onion crisps, pad thai rolls, macaroons, almond meat "tuna" salad and mock tacos, among so many other things.

During the winter season they incorporate some hot foods, such as soups, and aim to offer more cooked, vegan food. Right now they are on a mission to make this happen and need our help! 

Here is a plea from Sheryll on Indiegogo:

In order to transform our quaint cafe's 'raw foods kitchen' into a kitchen suitable for cooked fare, we need your help, please! We need to do some remodeling in our kitchen to allow for proper equipment and efficiency.  By transforming our kitchen, we will have more delicious options for our customers to choose from. Basically, we want to operate like a fast food establishment that serves high quality, organic, vegan food for the raw and cooked vegan community. 

I've had the opportunity to get to know Sheryll from my many visits as well as through writing some stories on her and her cafe, including one centered on making almond milk and another on her specialization. She has some serious spunk and is so passionate about what she does -- giving me another reason to head there. Definitely worth the trip!!
