has found a new spot for Balewa’s Vegan Gourmet.

The address is 394 N. Watkins at the site of the old Edge Coffeehouse at the corner of Watkins and Overton Park near the Sears Crosstown building.

Balewa says he’ll serve the same raw-based menu, “only more of it.” (There are some cooked items: the buns for the Live Burger and the quinoa dishes, for example). There will be sandwiches, salads, side items, smoothies, carry-out items, and more.

Balewa plans to start with four to six tables and then expand as he gets settled in.

The opening for Balewa’s Vegan Gourmet is set for the first week in November.
