Business Lifespan
2005 to January 2009.

Cafe La Vie was a mostly vegan restaurant that used all organic ingredients, though there were a few items with cheese. Raw dishes and specialties were also available, in addition to cooked vegetarian dishes, and the restaurant had a large selection of organic wine. They had a small bar and only served beer and wine (plus great smoothies, fresh pressed juices, and teas), but the selection was good and they had live music on some nights.

Former businesses in this location include the Pontiac Grill.
