Healthy Living Market has opened a new
café in downtown Saratoga Springs. Located
at 420 Broadway, the café is housed in the
Washington Building alongside Northshire
Bookstore and Saratoga Cycling Studio.
The café and grocery store was interested in
expanding their brand to downtown Saratoga
Springs. They started seeking out locations
in 2014.
“We were interested in expanding,” said
Brian Page, sous chef at Healthy Living. “We
wanted to get more people in the area interested
in our store.”
“People have been very receptive to the
fact that we exist,” said Marta Townsend, an
employee at the café. “It’s more convenient for
them to come here, downtown.”
Many customers are now finding it easier
to stop into the Broadway location to pick up
their favorite cup of coffee or sandwich than
travel to the main Healthy Living supermarket,
located in Wilton.
The café offers a pared down menu that is
rotated often with customer favorites. Customers
will find breakfast sandwiches, deli
sandwiches, freshly made salads, bakery items
and pastries, as well as a coffee and juice bar.
Healthy Living Market is known for catering
to many types of diets and food sensitivities.
Customers can find vegan and gluten-free options.
One of Page’s favorite items is the black
bean quinoa salad.
“We try to diversify everything we do,” said
Page.
The staff believes it is the dedication to
high-quality ingredients that helps Healthy
Living Market stand out from other options
in the area.
“Everything is made from scratch with the
best ingredients we can find,” said Townsend.
“We try to buy organic when we can.”
The café is open every day of the week
from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information,
call 682-3501.
Healthy Living Market opened its main store
in the Wilton Mall in 2013. The main market’s
website is www.healthylivingmarket.com.
