Cosmic Vegans BY KYLEY WARREN
A
Arizona’s food scene has continued to diversify over the years, with everything from locally owned locales to restaurant chains to even vegan offerings gaining momentum in cities like Phoenix and Scottsdale. In turn, those new restaurants have begun to inspire a wave of healthier food concepts to be made more available across the entire state—with Glendale being the most recent city to introduce a completely vegan marketplace to the West Valley. The Village in Glendale—which opened in mid-August—is a holistic vegan marketplace that serves as the host launchpad for a number of small businesses that are working to make organic food alternatives more accessible to consumers. Cosmic Vegans—the focal point of the property—is a one-stop-shop for all things vegan that comes from Nadira Jenkins-El of the Cutting Board Cafe and Bakery in Mesa. Cosmic Vegans features grab-and-go food, clothing, crystals, and even herbal supplements. Other property vendors include Raul’s Cocina, Churro Gonutz and Cuties Lemonade. The Village in Glendale is located in two buildings within Glendale’s Catlin Court Historic District, and for the time being, is open only on weekends.
