Modernism in Larchmont at Mango Mix

On Saturday, well in advance of tropical storm Hanna, I happened to be in Larchmont. Between the farmers market at the train station, and a sidewalk sale of epic proportions over on Palmer Avenue, it was quite the happening place. While I maneuvered past the throngs of shoppers fanned three deep, next to narrow racks, scouting out back-to-school discounts, it was nice to see so many out on an unusually steamy day.

I stopped by an eco-organic cafe called Mango Mix [130 Chatsworth Avenue]. Chances are that it is probably the only place in Westchester with Eames LCW Chairs (or at least great reproductions), vibrant lime green walls, and white birch tree trunks. It is without a doubt one of the most interesting retail space interiors that I've seen in a minute.

The menu is 100 percent organic, offering signature salads, panini, wraps, coffee, and a variety of juices. I had a delicious and refreshingly cool Berry Blast Smoothie, which came in a biodegradable cup made out of corn. Here are some more photographs that I snapped. It's a great place to check out, and is located directly across from the Larchmont train station. I’m still recovering from my small foray into the happy sensory overload zone.
