Dr. J’s Vibrant Café Opens in LA

Healthy, Healing Foods

By Jenni Hwang

Detox and cleanse anyone? Yes, detoxifying and cleansing is the foundation of Dr. J’s herbal program and what she encourages. The recently-opened Dr. J’s Vibrant Café is a new, healthy heartbeat for downtown Angelenos.  

Dr. J’s Vibrant Café menu is built on the health philosophy of owner and executive chef Dr. Juliet Tien (Dr. J), a renowned holistic health practitioner and author, who combines traditional Chinese herbal therapy, stress management and an anti-yeast nutritional program to serve up a combination of macrobiotic, gluten-free, ayurvedic foods that will titillate the taste buds of both vegans and health-conscious carnivores alike.

The detoxifying food fare at Dr. J’s Vibrant Café is a deliciously sinless trifecta of vegan, gluten-free, and organic, while simultaneously aiming to eliminate eight harmful ingredients found in other foods, such as sugar, wheat, yeast, dairy, and chemicals, to name a few.

The dishes are generously piled with hearty whole grains such as quinoa and brown rice, meatless protein options like soy “meat” and grilled tofu, and a medley of greens and vegetables that go through an extensive cleaning process to rid it of yeasts, bacteria, parasites, and chemicals. The health-focused vegan recipes use only the highest-quality, locally-grown organic ingredients (where available), is gluten-free and “100% clean.”

The first of its kind in downtown Los Angeles, local movers and shakers all agree Dr. J’s Vibrant Café is definitely one to follow. Soon to be a favorite amongst patrons, the Tofu Chunky Bowl (shown) with quinoa, seasonal veggies and their specially-marinated tofu chunks, sprinkled in an addicting ginger sauce is absolutely delish AND good for you?! You’ll have to try it to believe it. See for yourself what the buzz and anticipation was all about. Cleansing, healing, good for your digestive system and body, all the while pleasing your palate, it just doesn’t get any better than this.

 The café has found its home in the heart of the Old Bank district on 4th and Main Street. The space boasts of a 2,700 foot haven of natural comfort and rustic charm that will house up to 100 of Dr. J’s aficionados, a separate tea and smoothie bar, a mini-market section and an outdoor patio.

Dr. J’s Café is located at 334 S. Main Street., Unit 1101, Los Angeles, CA 90013.
