A Better World Cafe is a community cafe that serves up healthy, seasonal and sustainable meals in an accessible manner. Beware if you're prone to having eyes bigger than your stomach because at this cafe, you choose your own portion. The team does this so to reduce food waste for those who may have smaller appetites.
Some of the menu items, which change each day, range from soup and salad to sandwiches. Vegetarian food is common, and vegan and gluten-free prepared foods are also commonly available. It's always typically a simple meal, something that mostly everyone can enjoy.
The cafe works in conjunction with two non-profit organizations located in New Jersey: Elijah's Promise and 'Who is My Neighbor?'.
