Crafting for kids on Fridays and the kids get a free smoothie. Very pleasant atmosphere and they have gluten free, dairy free options for dessert. Oh and good breakfast potatoes.

We had a very disappointing brunch at Nourish. We were dining in but were served our hot drinks in paper cups. After a lengthy wait they said it takes longer due to making everything from scratch which we understood without concern. However after waiting a long time, I was served a small paper bowl of COLD potatoes…

My family went here for the first time and we loved our time in this sweet little cafe. The atmosphere was so warm and welcoming, the staff were so kind, they have games and books for your kids to read, and the food was great! They did accidentally mess up our order and the owner personally reached out to us to make it right. She was so kind and went above and beyond to make sure everything was ok. Plus everything is gluten free! Truly a wonderful time!

Faith - you are absolutely incredible and I cannot thank you enough for taking time to share your experience and giving us such grace and understanding when we forgot those delicious chocolate chips in the pancakes! We hope there is some reason for you to travel through town again in the future, we would love to take care of you and your fam again. Until then, we wish you safe travels and many gluten-free adventures along the way!

We had a very disappointing brunch at Nourish. We were dining in but were served our hot drinks in paper cups. After a lengthy wait they said it takes longer due to making everything from scratch which we understood without concern. However after waiting a long time, I was served a small paper bowl of COLD potatoes with lukewarm tofu scramble. The only thing warm was the toast. So my food must have been sitting in the back a while. I paid $16.50 for a small side bowl of cold food in paper. We really wanted to like this place and drove 30 minutes to try it. We cannot recommend the food nor the dining experience.

Hi Chris - my goodness I am so sorry to hear this was your experience - especially after a 30 minute drive and high expectations (that I would say 9.8 times out of 10 exceed). This is not the experience that we work so hard to deliver and also understand how our concept of not being a full-on restaurant nor a full-on grab n' go place can also feel confusing (i.e. service in compostable cups/bowls). I would deeply, deeply, deeply appreciate the opportunity to connect with you directly - this weekend was our first testing out an expanded menu and, as a team, we already have identified some opportunities already to help with timing and ensure that our quality stays far above all expectations. If it feels aligned, could you please send me an email directly at [email protected] and we can set up a time to connect in the way that feels best for you? I am hopeful we get to have this opportunity and learn more - thank you so much for taking time to share, and giving us an opportunity to grow - we hope we have the opportunity to host you again. -Lindsey
