French Meadow Cafe
Overview
Founded as a wholesale bakery in 1985, French Meadow Bakery has twice been recognized by Bon Appetite Magazine as one of the country’s ten best bread bakeries, the only natural/organic bakery to receive this form of recognition. Over the years the café began to incorporate a variety of different foods into the menu, including eggs, dairy, and meat, but made sure that they were all sourced sustainably. In fact, French Meadow has been working with many of the same local farmers and suppliers for up to 25 years, including Natural Way Mills and Schultz Organic Eggs, to name a few.
Today the French Meadow Bakery & Café continues to serve breakfast, lunch & dinner daily, featuring full-service dinner with Chef Specials. A focus on using organic, natural and local ingredients aims to offer vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and omnivore options. From the Lingonberry Almond Torte to the Coconut Macaroons, French Meadow Bakery & Café has an in-house bakery that bakes all of our breads, cakes, desserts and pastries from scratch using natural and organic ingredients.
