goodbye, Ras Cafe

[snugglekitty]

I went by one of my favorite spots a few days ago, to find it all closed up.

Ras Cafe was in Central Square, behind the big church. They had woooonderful juices. My favorite was pear-apple-lemon-ginger. So delicious! Their salads were also terrific. The music was never too loud, and the chairs were comfy.

I went there for the first time with Dave G, who I dated a while back, and I was hooked. I liked going there on my way home from my old job in Central Square. If it was a really hot day, I would go in and cool off with a juice. If it was a really stressful day, I would go there and read and meditate, until I felt I could leave work behind. I also would go there on my way to the Cambridge Women's Center at night. I have nice memories of spending time there with starkeymonster, mrpet, and redjo. It was a great spot to read with a friend.

Ras Cafe, I'm sorry that you went out of business. I wish we, the loyal customers, had been enough to keep you open. I will miss you.

Damn, damn, damn. I loved that place, though I wasn't there often because I no longer live close by. I particularly liked being able to give my money to a Cambridge business that wasn't owned by white people.
