More Than Just Good Food

It may be obvious, as it’s right in our name, but our goal is to provide true nourishment for our customers through the dishes and drinks we serve. We are saddened by the amount of unhealthy, processed food that America consumes, and it’s our mission to offer healthy, nourishing alternatives.

But it is our desire to also offer a nourishment that goes beyond just a physical need. The definition for nourishment is “to feed, cherish, support; to provide food or other substances necessary for growth, health, and good condition.” While good food and physical health plays a big part in our growth and good condition, there’s so many other things that play a part in it as well.

Our world is suffering from an increasingly growing epidemic of loneliness, depression, and mental illnesses. The CDC has stated that the United States as a whole, but especially the younger generation, is facing a mental health crisis, and a poll hosted by CNN and the Kaiser Family Foundation found that 90% of Americans agree with that. The rise of cyberbullying and isolation due to lack of real, human interaction has a huge affect on mental health, which in turn has been proven to be connected to physical health issues.

We want to provide an atmosphere that fosters friendship, connection, and uplifting interactions; and offers a place of peace and encouragement amidst the stress and fear that is prevailing in our world. It is our goal to greet each customer with a smile and a cheerful word. We want to be the place where you meet a friend for a good heart-to-heart. We invite you to come in for a quiet hour alone when you need to just get away from life’s demands for a bit.

And most importantly, we want to be a place that stands boldly on our faith and isn’t afraid to let Jesus shine through us. Our belief in Him is our guide, and we believe that He is the answer to the depression and loneliness that so many of us face. You may have noticed a common thread in the music we play or the words we use – it is our desire that they all point back to Jesus. So if you hear a song that speaks to you and want to know the name, we’d love to share it with you! If you would like someone to pray for or with you, it would be our honor! If you are interested in hosting a small group or bible study with us, we would be more than happy to see if we can facilitate that. If you just want to talk and need someone to listen or offer advice, we have people and ministries we would be happy to connect you with.

Do we want to offer nourishment for your body? Yes, absolutely! But we also want to facilitate connections and relationships that nourish your soul; and to provide a place that offers peace and encouragement that provides nourishment to your spirit!

Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart,
    and the pleasantness of a friend
    springs from their heartfelt advice. Prov. 27:9
