Have a craving for made-from-scratch food? Newly opened Bluffton restaurant can satisfy it

Looking for a healthy breakfast and lunch option in Bluffton?

Avocado Bleu, a restaurant that focuses on fresh ingredient options, opened Wednesday at 21 Bluffton Road, Suite 102, next to Buffalo Wild Wings in Kittie’s Crossing.

The restaurant specializes in grab-and-go options — including keto, paleo and vegan-friendly ones, according to owner Teresa Brandow.

“We use fresh ingredients and work with farmers,” Brandow said.

The restaurant offers smoothies and baked goods, including pastries. It also offers bulk-purchase options for pickup, along with catering.

Brandow has worked as a pastry chef in the region for many years, most recently at Belfair Plantation.

The restaurant does not have a set menu. Rather, Brandow creates a menu based on what farmers are selling.

Each item is labeled for size and any special diet restrictions.

Avocado Bleu is open from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays and from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Sundays.
