Fresh in the Deli

Come on in to the Wheatsville Deli and check out our recently revamped self-service food bar, and grab’n’go cooler! That’s right, we’ve moved many of the items on the olive bar to grab’n’go and put a bunch of our tastiest, most popular cold salads in their place on the bar, like Cashew Linguine, Potato, Onion and Caper Salad, and Green Beans Amandine. The salad bar has been reset as well, featuring more of your favorite items, crisp, cold and ready for lunch! The entire grab’n’go cooler has been revamped as well, increasing our available selection of Take’n’Bake Pizzas, Dinners for 2, and fresh Sushi!

 We also made room for a new assortment of refrigerated bakery items, so come try a fruity Blueberry Coconut Tartlet, decadent slice of creamy vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie, refreshing Cranberry-Blueberry Muffin Parfait layered with local, nonfat yogurt, a cool, tart Lemon Bar, or our new staff favorite – soy-free, vegan Tres Leches Cake! This delicious cake is just sweet enough, and drenched with a syrup made from almond, coconut and rice milks for a wonderful summertime treat. Come in and check out our sweet refreshers today!

And our bakery’s new Community Action Cookies are here! This month our buttery, hand-decorated sugar cut-out cookies are shaped like cute little animal paws, with a yummy chocolate glaze, to raise awareness for our July Community Action Wednesday donation recipients Austin Pets Alive! Look for them in our bakery case!
