🌾 Local Spotlight: Amelia Fresh Café
Located inside Nassau Health Foods, the Amelia Fresh Café is redefining what gluten-free dining can be.
Every dish is handcrafted with local, organic ingredients—free from gluten, but full of flavor.
From quinoa bowls and soups to smoothies and baked goods, it’s healthy without the hassle.
