“This is our new favorite place in Duluth and home to the best dinner we’ve had in all our trips up here.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

-John D. (Google Reviews)

“What we didn’t realize is that the cafe is a part of a larger nonprofit arts and community development program. Profits from the restaurant support the mission of the entire project. Cool!”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

-Eisme77 (Tripadvisor)

“This restaurant deserves to be in the top 10 in Duluth — the mission alone is worth supporting, but the food was also impeccable… Bravissima!”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

-James S. (Yelp)

“This place is a gem! Everything we ordered was incredible. Very vegan friendly and many sober options. We got the trout, pork, wild rice bowl, vegan scallops, and the bahn mi with soup. So good! The flavors were well balanced and the food was nutritious and filling… Everyone was happy.”
