SpaHa Café chops culinary cravings off at the knees with a health-minded menu featuring a wealth of fresh sandwiches, light breakfast items, and herbivorous fare. The café's consummate quality comes from ingredients and supplies sourced from local farmers and businesses, including bakery-fresh Balthazar breads and pastries. Daybreak dashers can palm an array of speedy breakfast fare such as bagels— adorned with either cream cheese ($2) or specialty spreads including lox, cinnamon-raisin, or tofu cream cheese ($2.50)—or the delectably flaky ham-and-cheese quiche ($3.95). Midday delights include the fresh prosciutto and mozzarella on ciabatta bread ($3.50–$6.50), while dairy dodgers can enjoy fully vegan fare such as tofu, avocado, and sun-dried tomatoes on multigrain bread ($3.50–$6.50).

SpaHa’s steadfast roster of beverages prevents Casanova comestibles from stealing the hearts of vulnerable customers, with varieties of freshly brewed coffees ($1.50¬–$2), teas ($1.50–$2), freshly squeezed juices ($2.50), and blended smoothies ($3.50–$4.50). Sweetness suspires with a plethora of pastry items, such as coconut macaroons ($2), fresh-fruit tarts ($5.95), and vegan cookies ($2.25). In addition to complimentary WiFi, SpaHa's regular exhibits of locally produced art and cultural music performances bring community members together to eat, drink, and socialize, raising awareness for global and local concerns.

• SpaHa cafe is an oasis of fresh cuisine in a desert of fried and fast foods. From the croissants (ham & cheese are delicious) and wraps to the specialty desserts, everything is wonderful and fresh. The iced Jasmine tea had me coming back day after day. And the fruit tarts - fuhgeddaboutit. They are the best and freshest I've had in the city. – Mame M., Yelp, 5/9/09
