A Better World Cafe

A Better World Cafe is now open! Located in the Quilt Room of the Reformed Church of Highland Park, the cafe serves lunch Mon-Fri 11-3. This social enterprise, a partnership between Elijah's Promise and Who Is My Neighbor? Inc., hopes to make healthy eating accessible and affordable for all. A Better World Cafe follows a community cafe model pioneered by Denise Cerreta of One World Everybody Eats in Salt Lake City, Utah.

The  cafe uses seasonal foods - grown, cooked, and served in ways that make sense for the environment and for the customer's budget.  We reduce food waste, since customers choose their own portion sizes. We reduce trash because we do not use Styrofoam cups, plastic utensils, or paper plates. And it helps global neighbors because the coffees and teas are fairly traded.
