This past week I was able to visit a new restaurant that opened up in Orem called Aubergine & Company. My friend’s parents were actually the ones that opened the restaurant, and I have been WAITING for it to open. 
This place is everything I want in a restaurant. They use all fresh, natural, and whole ingredients. Their DIVINE soups have a cashew base instead of a cream base. Their dressings are made from scratch. They sweeten their desserts with agave, and everything is made FRESH. 
This is a little sneak peak of some of the menu. I had the “Dream Salad.” I substituted julienned beets for the cheese, and traded the walnuts for almonds. 
Doesn’t this just look AWESOME? 
I went with my darling friend Whitney. She ordered A pita stuffed with chicken, hummus, and some Mediterranean veggies. She also got a fresh strawberry lemonade (not sweetened with sugar), and a chia pudding. I’d never had chia pudding before, and I had a taste of hers. It was AMAZING. They use coconut milk, chia seeds, agave, and some fresh raspberry on top. YUM. 
The fabulous owners also gave us a Thai acai bowl to try. I had never had an acai bowl until now…hello…Where have you been all my life?!? It’s basically a parfait-ish type smoothie in a bowl. OH MY. Try one of these ASAP ok? 
If you aren’t getting the vibe that I LOVED this place, let me just tell you that I went back two days later. Run, don’t walk to Aubergine and Company. It’s located 1365 S State Street in Orem (right next to Sprouts, and it’s absolutely amazing!
