Our menu items is made with homemade food. We bake our own muffins, scones, fruit breads, and desserts using our recipes that we have been perfecting for over 10 years. We make our own sauces, dressings, soups, granola, and ready to eat foods. We believe that homemade food is more nourishing and delicious than pre-made food. There is also less packaging and less food miles involved when you make a big batch of soup, store it in 1 gallon buckets, and reuse the buckets instead of throwing them away. Making our food from scratch allows us to be more flexible with our ingredients and to use seasonal vegetables. We plan to run this café for a long time, so the menu has to change to keep people coming back.
We believe people should have options when it comes to food and drink. We include vegan, vegetarian, wheat/dairy-free and low-fat items. We listen to our customers' needs and make specialty items available when we can. When a customer knows of another product we could sell or another source for one of our ingredients, we would be happy to investigate those potentials.
We work with Dilmun Hill Farm and enjoy using the vegetables produced at this student run farm.
Operating a sustainable-focused café is a dream of ours. Using local ingredients and earth-friendly paper goods carries a high financial cost. The creation of a financially sound business is key to reaching that goal. We evaluate all costs and our menu pricing structure frequently in order to maintain the balance of high quality foods and beverages at reasonable prices. We are not the least expensive eatery on campus, but we hope we create a sense of community and pride in local eating.
