The Better Health Café: $5.29

The combo of the Picnic Sandwich and a raspberry crunch bar from the Better Health Café, 305 N. Clippert Ave. near the Frandor Shopping Center, only costs $5.29 for a nutritious lunch. The café is located within The Better Health Store and offers deals on healthy food for good prices.

The Better Health Store is located on the outskirts of Frandor Shopping Center and the café inside has been around for roughly two years. Throughout the aisles of the store, music was playing and the whole place felt clean, friendly and organic.

The Food: Choose any two (half of a sandwich, dessert, cup of soup or 1/2 lb. salad) the Picnic Sandwich, a raspberry crunch bar and a glass of ice-cold water.

Total: $5.29 (including tax)

Place: Better Health Café, 305 N. Clippert Ave., Frandor Shopping Center, (517) 332-6892

Hours: Mon. - Fri. 10 a.m. - 8 p.m., Sat. 11 a.m. - 6 p.m.

Delivery: Not offered, but customers can sit in the café or get their food to go.

Xtras: The café has many options for the "choose any two" deal and if the salad bar is what you feel like, it's self-serve with the price based on weight.

Our thoughts: The sandwich was served warm and prompt and the atmosphere of the café inside the store was tidy and welcoming. All of the food looked exceptionally fresh, there's a water cooler for all patrons and if you're not sure what you want, samples are offered for nearly everything they sell.
