Elixir De La Lune is a healing treasure in the community of Bird Rock in La Jolla, CA. From the moment you step through the pink door, you are transported to an inviting space of serenity and beauty, a place to relax and enjoy healthy, organic drinks and delicious food, all artistically presented with care and intentionality. The drink menu includes various hot and cold drinks, smoothies, and mocktails. The food menu is also varied from breakfast and brunch entrees designed to nourish and heal the body that are gluten, dairy, and refined sugar-free. What sets this cafe apart is the healthy and healing food and drink offerings and the beautiful design elements. Enjoy the stylish pink chaise lounge and the bespoke wallpaper mural, which makes you feel like you are in a secret garden with butterflies, fairies, and exquisite details. You can feel comfortable entering casually after a yoga session or a walk in the neighborhood. Sit inside or outside under the pink and white umbrellas. The space also invites you to dress in a more feminine flowy style to enjoy mocktails with friends. It was a joyful blessing to meet owner Kristy Hambrick and to talk about some of the new menu offerings especially curated for the Holidays. She was warm and gracious as she shared her inspiration for Elixir De La lune and the adjoining Lavande gift and wellness boutique store!

After opening Lavande, the boutique store, Kristy noticed a lack of healthy food in the neighborhood. However, more profound than that was her love for plants and understanding of what plants can do for the body. Kristy shares, "I wanted to open a place where we could start to share the wisdom of plants and the emotional and spiritual benefits that plants have that most people don't know about. Everyone knows about the physical healing aspects of plants, nutrition, and all physical things, but they don't know the emotional and spiritual benefits. Physical illness is our body's last response to say, hey, something is wrong. But it's usually an emotion or a trauma that triggers physicality. So it's like if we started addressing things on that level, we will live longer, be healthier, be happier, and have a higher quality of life."

The flower essences can address the emotional issues we might not be dealing with such as acceptance, forgiveness, trust and clarity. The flower essences are included with every drink and can also be purchased in person.
