DessertsRx is not just an alternative to the fast-food restaurants that surround it in Colleyville.
When it opened in November 2019, the health-conscious cafe owned by the Warda family was the result of years of research into nutrition.
“People will eat what’s available to them,” owner Dorothy Warda said. “Unless more businesses step up ... there is not going to be a trend. Somebody has to do it.”
DessertsRx is the name of both the cafe and the type of desserts the business serves. All of the desserts are made with “functional foods,” which are plant-based ingredients rich in nutrients, such as cashews, almond milk and coconut oil.
DessertsRx has expanded its customer base through social media and word of mouth, and most of the business’s customers have become regulars, Warda said.
