Bless My
Soul Café
Creole (Kree-ohl): A descendent of the French
and/or Spanish who settled in Louisiana,
combining European and Latin flavors. Along
with the French Plantation Chefs and their
African Sous Chefs, they were introduced to the
foods of the American Indians, creating a unique
and wonderful cuisine.
Bless My Soul family provides a multi-pure water
system, while working with The North Coast Co-op,
Loleta Cheese, Humboldt Grass Fed Beef, North
Coast Bakery, The Tofu Shop and local farmers
with organic produce whenever possible.
