We’re going to make sure we make the rightt decisionsmoving forward.” Careful growtbh has been the company’s philosophyt from the start. In December after seven years awayfrom home, the Lufranos returne d to Hawaii from where she was a patent lawyer and he workef in finance.
For more than a they scouted potential store locationw on Oahu and experimented with recipesat Sara’d parents’ home in Kahala.

This month, the Kahalw Mall location beganservingy “design-your-own” omelettes, organic coffees, fruit bowls and fresh-squeeze juices.
The response has been overwhelming, and ther are plans to serve breakfastf inother locations. “We really care about the food that goes out to Sara said. “People get used to what they’re eating and don’t realize there could be so manygood options.”
