Sweet Life Bakery | Cafe
in Gualala, CA
At our kitchen, we offer take-out service of internationally-inspired lunches and baked goods. We adhere to sustainable practices such as reduced waste and composting all vegetable cuts. Additionally, we run 100% on renewable energy using solar panels we installed in January 2021 (previously were on Sonoma Clean Power’s 100% renewable & local energy program). All of our lunches and baked goods are donation-based (with suggested donation) – we don’t turn anyone away! Applied Consciousness Initiative (ACI) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with the mission to teach health practitioners and individuals how to apply well established tools of holistic health, yoga & meditation, and environmental health science.
Daily Lunch Service
We bring together international cuisine with vegan & Ayurvedic fusion – no lack of tantalizing taste here! Every Sunday, we release the week’s menu to our email list of food-lovers. Join many others in traversing cultural heritages through foods such as Italian Lasagna, Spanish Paella, Enchilada Casserole, Indian Curry, Hungarian Goulash, Persian Gormeh Sabzi, Meditteranean Platters, and more!
Lunches are served at noon each day to those who have signed up by 9am, and we sometimes have extra to serve to those who show up without reserving a meal. We’d love to hear what your favorite meals are, as we are constantly creating and innovating! (If you are local to Gualala, CA, and would like to be on the lunch service email list, call 707-225-8844 Monday-Friday between 10:00am-4:00pm.)
Bakery
Say goodbye to the old days of dry and bland vegan pastries, and hello to our out-of-this-world snickerdoodles, buttery croissants, chewy cookies, crispy scones and many other mesmerizing pies and cakes with their mouth-watering buttercream frostings … and breads!
We use ingredients that are very high quality and mostly organic. Our bakers have trained internationally and are locals to Gualala, a little coastal town in Northern California. The bakery takes special orders on a regular basis.
Cooking / Baking Classes
After requests from food-lovers who are local and international, we decided to begin teaching one- to two-hour classes that give recipes and even some of our secrets about tasty vegetarian, vegan, and ayurvedic cooking & baking. Previously all in-person, we are now hosting classes online via Zoom which allows for an interactive format with discussion and Q&A. We schedule these periodically, and if you are on our email list you will receive notice about upcoming classes!
