Healthy Treats

who said eating treats can always be unhealthy for you?  Well, Calooska is proving them wrong! Why? Because our treats aren't just really good, but healthy too. Most people have this misconception that healthy food can be quite boring, meaning flavorless. But what if they were wrong? Healthy food can also be flavorful and delicious without all the artificial sweeteners, flavors and colors. Nature has already provided us with EVERYTHING, all we needed to do was look. We make vegan treats in addition to the other treats we serve. You have to not miss this. You know why?

We can confidently say that Calooska's savory cake is a huge hit, it was even featured in the Washingtonian magazine! look for the link of the article on Calooska's Instagram page.
