Cozy Tea House Features Mostly Raw Dishes with a Local Flair  Magdelena’s Tea House is a Lansing area restaurant that puts a focus on healthy organic foods. The café is comfortable and cozy with a home-like atmosphere. Couches, dim lighting and local artwork give the place a laid back feel. Magdelena’s opened in July, 2004 and have developed a reputation for hosting live performances. They feature bands, poets, movie nights and the ever-popular open-mike night. The setting allows for an intimate performance and a strong connection with the audience. One thing the café puts heavy emphasis on is supporting the locals. Produce is purchased from local organic farms, the art gallery features local artists and even the movies they show are locally made. Local musicians often perform here as well. The dishes on the menu at Magdelena’s are all vegan and mostly raw. They offer a wide selection of raw foods, with a rotating list of specials. Owner and chef, Miko Fossom is quick to share her raw food knowledge. Her creations are often original and always tasty.  Popular menu items include the Marinated Organic Filed Greens, Raw Taco Salad, Stir-Not-Fry, Raw Pizza and the raw soup of the day with raw crackers. Magdelena’s meals are not gourmet, but the portions are large for the price and they have fresh, healthy food options. They also offer a nice selection of raw and vegan desserts. Vegan ice cream, truffles, almond halvah and coconut fudge are just a few of the choices on the dessert menu.
