Amrita'S Healthy Treats

Our little spot is at Santacruz West 4/A. Amrita'S Healthy Treats started because there was a small space available and we wanted to use it. It is not a huge operation with a lot of employees. Most of the time, it’s just a couple of us handling everything from the baking to the cleaning. We spend a lot of time in the kitchen, measuring out things and making sure the ovens are at the right temperature. Sometimes the batches don't come out exactly how we wanted, so we just try again. We use what we can find and try to keep things as honest as possible. People in the neighborhood stop by while they are out running errands. It’s nice to talk to them, though we are usually busy with a timer going off or a delivery arriving. The floor is a bit uneven and the paint might be peeling in a corner, but it’s our space. We don't have a marketing team or anyone telling us how to look. We just make what we make and hope people find it useful. It’s a lot of washing dishes and organizing shelves. Some days are slower than others, which gives us time to sit for a minute before the next task. It’s just a small business trying to get by, doing things the slow way because that is all we know how to do.
