Hi.

FOODIE: DIANE HEYING ‘MANIFESTING GREATNESS’ at LAMARA COFFEE & KITCHEN

FOODIE: DIANE HEYING ‘MANIFESTING GREATNESS’ at LAMARA COFFEE & KITCHEN

“Plant-based foods have high vibrations, and those vibrations go into your body. People that come in are on a getting-well quest. Then there are people who come in who are transplants. Who, like me, miss elements of their home. People want to be part of a group, part of a club. Lamara has a club atmosphere. A place between work and home.”

There is something very sacred, special, and endearing about Diane and Lamara. She is a Wonder Woman of grace, style, and humor. When you walk into the space you immediately feel a sense of community. You feel at home here, welcomed. No matter your age, race, religion, gender, sexual preference—everyone matters, and everyone has value. Lamara is a truly enjoyable and restorative experience. When I visit, I feel connected to the world while still having a sense of my own space and privacy. Massive indoor plants surround the space, purifying the air. Eclectic music plays in the background contributing to a harmonious balance. Everything is by design and in conversation with each other. Diane has great style and a highly developed sense of design, intention, and meaning. She is operating on the highest frequency, manifesting greatness in the culinary arts, interior design and humanity. Lamara sets the bar; she is the gold standard; she has no competition in this city, no one even comes close. The reason for this is simple. Diane is a perfectionist, and she is in love with people, healthy foods, and wellness.
