FEBRUARY is traditionally BLACK HISTORY MONTH, so I have decided to do a series of reviews each day honoring Black-Owned Businesses and/or places with significant Black History. I've been eager to begin this series since I first thought of doing it a month ago and I hope to inspire other Yelpers to do the same! 1st up is CAFÉ SUNDAÉ. Here I met Donna & her husband James, one of the two managing couples in this family run business.

Donna let me sample two of their smoothies:
+ Green Ginger Peach
Peaches, Pineapples, Banana, Spinach, Ginger, Apple Juice, Honey
It had some spicy ZIP from the ginger!!!

PRO TIP
If using Goggle Maps, it will direct you to Real Life Fitness Gym at the back of the shopping plaza, which is INCORRECT. Café Sundaé is in the last unit of the first cluster of businesses on the right side when entering the shopping complex.
NOTES
They also serve about 10 flavors of ice cream, cookies, & slices of cake.
MUST TRY
+ Salmon Croquette Muffin
+ Green Ginger Peach Smoothie
+ Sundae Pie
DISLIKES
- None, but I do wish the CranOrange Muffin had been moister.
FUTURE VISIT "WANT TO TRY" LIST:
Avocado Toast
Tropical Smoothie
Smoked Salmon Bagel

FINAL THOUGHTS
You will certainly walk away from your experience @ Café Sundaé thinking: "These are GOOD PEEPS!" It was a pleasure from beginning to end, from the lovely warm wood décor to the soft jazz playing over the speakers! I particularly loved the cleanliness and how well kept all visible areas appeared.
Donna has such enthusiasm and hope for their future in her conversation that it automatically makes you begin rooting for their success! I'm so very proud to be the first to introduce them on Yelp and hope you will navigate here if ever you find yourself @ Red Top Mountain or in Cartersville, GA! RECOMMENDED
