A new vegan cafe with a latin twist in downtown is ready to nourish your body.
An exciting vegan cafe called Earthy Picks has opened in downtown Orlando at 420 E. Church Street, in the base of the Camden at Thornton Park Apartments.
The health food cafe with “a Latin twist” is the creation of entrepreneur Tatiana Henao who was born and raised in Pereira, Colombia, and then moved to the US when she was 17.
Henao grew up in a Colombian family that loves to cook and enjoys gathering people around food. In her quest to enhance her lifestyle choices, she discovered the benefits of plant-based foods and submerged herself into Holistic Health and Nutrition studies, and graduated from IIN (Institute of Integrative Nutrition) in 2017.
Inspired by her mother’s idea to share her favorite vegan recipes at the Orlando Vegan Market, she decided to listen to her entrepreneurial spirit and opened Earthy Picks pop-up in July of 2020 during the pandemic at the Orlando Farmers market in Lake Eola Park.
In addition to the new downtown cafe, the booth at Orlando Farmers Market is continuing, which is open Sundays, 10 - 3.
The new cafe which is open Tues-Fri 12 pm- 6 pm, and Sat-Sun 11 am – 5 pm, serves a menu of plant-based dishes, including tacos, grain bowls, empanadas, and more.
Here is a few of the delicious dishes you can enjoy at Earth Picks.
