Before Bon Vivant Cafe opened its doors, the founders spent years laying the groundwork. They had to first build relationships with local farmers, the folks who now supply ingredients for the kitchen. Fostering that collaboration took some effort, but it was well worth it to round up trustworthy purveyors committed to sustainable, natural, free-range types of farming.
The local ingredients they provide now go into breakfast, lunch, and dinner dishes at Bon Vivant Cafe. Dig into a vegetarian or vegan treat for breakfast, like the gluten-free organic oatmeal with dried cranberries, sliced almonds, and pecans. Come by around lunchtime for a sandwich stuffed with grass-fed roast beef and house-made blue cheese dressing, or stop by at dinnertime for free-range rosemary chicken with arugula and potato gratin. Bon Vivant Cafe also offers take-and-bake sandwiches that you can enjoy at the office or at home.
