I went with with a group Of Ethel's for lunch. I was delighted to see a stuffed baked acorn squash on the menu. It was delicious. Other menu items were a panini and an Amish pot pie. Everyone seemed happy with their food. You order and pay at the register. We talked with the chef afterward and he was willing to accommodate me as I avoid gluten,but said he would fix us whatever we wanted next time we come back. Where else does a chef say that? The owner told me they also have a patio if we want to sit outside. Very happy to go back anytime. Sorry I was so hungry and excited about my food I forgot to take a picture. read more

Cute little grocery store offering a selection of local produce, homemade soups, sandwiches, and sweets, as well as hot tea, coffee, and espresso. They were more than happy to let me be a guinea pig for their new espresso machine. They also offer catering. Nu-Beginning is super inviting and homey in the best way. It's a gem of a small business with owners as sweet as pie. read more

If you haven't experienced the breakfast buffet at Nu-Beginning you are missing a special morning treat! Buffet is small but well worth the price! The best scrambled eggs you will ever eat, they call them cheesy eggs and wow they are delicious ( this coming from someone who despises scrambled eggs) and the highest quality bacon and sausage you will ever eat! Great hash browns and huge delicious biscuits! Honestly people give this place a try you won't be disappointed!! read more

Yes! Eat here! Superb personal friendly service! Yummy food, breakfast all day! A cute little store attached with local yummies. Fresh eggs, gluten free options. Reasonably-sized portions. Cheesy grits side sized portion was enough for me. The mango smoothie was refreshing and delicious! Fireplace for those cozy moments. Soft music playing. Support local business! read more

PSA: They are no longer serving food restaurant style due to a catastrophic flood - they no longer have a formal kitchen. They do have sandwiches and stuff to-go. Great people though and the store looks great! read more

I stopped here for a quick breakfast with a friend while passing through Staunton. This restaurant doubles as a little country store that sells homemade jams, pickles, cookies, and other goodies. I ordered the cheesy grits special, which consisted of your choice of egg (I got scrambled) and bacon over a bowl of cheesy grits. The scrambled egg was okay but I felt like I could barely taste the cheese in the grits. The bacon was crispy but there were only three pieces that were on the smaller side. Perhaps I just didn't order the right thing this time. So while my food was a bit underwhelming, I had a great time talking with our waitress. She was super friendly and my friend and I loved talking with her about the area and sharing stories about where we had all come from. If you need a quick breakfast spot, check out Nu-Beginnings Farm. read more

Nu-Beginning - Cheesy grits special with scrambled eggs - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Staunton, Virginia

I've said this before, and will say it again, when traveling it is hard to find a healthy breakfast so we were so pleased to find a place that used local eggs and had lots of options! Schweety and I selected the two specials, Huevos Rancheros and the Breakfast Burrito. Both could have been a bit larger for the prices, $8.50 and $9.00 but were filled with fresh, flavorful ingredients. Three choices of coffee were available and the two we tried were excellent! Loved the complimentary refills, too! In addition, they carry lots of locally made products so you can do a little shopping while you wait for your food to arrive or after you eat or just drop by to shop. :) read more

We had a super breakfast there this morning ... was a nice place to eat ... and the food was great ... I recommend the Healthy omelet with the fresh spinach and those small tomatoes were obviously fresh fresh fresh ... My wife and some of the blueberry pancakes and and Alex had the plain pancakes ... all great ... Highly recommended ... excellent service and food ... !!! Robert9001 read more

We enjoyed our simple meal here. Don't forget to also check out their lovely garden with seating in the back, too. We ordered the deluxe greek salad, the chef salad, the smoked salmon on bagel, egg salad sandwich, and an a la carte breakfast of 1 egg and crispy bacon. Overall, the portions are smart (not overwhelmingly large). The only thing that did seem very big was the very generous egg salad sandwich (we were only able to eat half!). The scrambled egg seemed a bit "flat", but it tasted fine. The bacon was nice and crispy. I enjoyed my greek salad, but my cucumbers were diced so fine that I at first thought they had left out the cucumbers. All in all, I love the concept of this place of locally sourced produce and goods in a friendly and non-expensive setting. The staff was very nice, too. Wouldn't mind checking this place out in the future again. read more

Absolutely fabulous. This quiet community diner has all of the things that I love, welcoming staff, local food, and things that I can eat. I had the Hippy, sans toast. My eggs were cooked exactly as I ordered and everything was fresh. My daughter had the scones sampler, the lemon mint was her favorite. All of the scones came with cream, butter, and jam. This place is so good that I almost didn't want to share a review. read more

Nu-Beginning - Happy Healthy Hippie! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Staunton, Virginia

At the height of coronavirus quarantine a few weeks ago, my boyfriend was sent to VA for a work job, and I tagged along since I was bored and working from home anyway. In our three weeks there, visiting this spot was one of the highlights. The employees/owners were extremely nice and welcoming by chatting with us while we waited for our food. We initially entered because of the menu, but we ended up spending a chunk of money in the store since the quarantine left us unable to shop around, and any time I travel anywhere I like to buy locally made wine, art, etc. We ended up buying wine, lemon loaf, honey, fruits, coffee, and other things I can't remember. The chicken salad sandwiches we ordered were phenomenal, and so was everything else we bought to take home. read more

Sweet little local spot to grab coffee and breakfast! I met a girlfriend here for breakfast before we took our kids to the nearby park for a play date and had a wonderful experience. They have a nice clean family restroom for changing babies and the food was really yummy. Lavender scones and hot coffee were the perfect start to our day and the playground at Gypsy Hill Park did not disappoint. read more

One word: Delicious. You can definitely tell the food is farm fresh. Staff was wonderful and very accommodating. Had the "Happy Hippie" w. Coffee and bf had the "Colonial Breakfast." While it's true that portions are not like what you'd get at an IHOP, that's kind of the point. It's healthy and a normal portion size. It was a bit tricky finding it - it's tucked in at the end of a strip type mall, which is across from a Howard Johnson. Biggest sign is for China House, which is next to it. Will definitely visit next time we're in Staunton :) read more

My family is vegan and we were on our way back from a skiing trip and looking for a suitable place to eat. We found this store on the way. It is really labeled as a Farm Store but they serve food. The store is located in a strip mall that is in what I would consider the downtown area. What I liked best is that they had daily specials, locals were coming in to get carry out dinners, and all of the food was local and some organic if I remember correctly. I cant recall what we ate but my family likes all of the local food, meat, honey, and desserts. The price was moderate and the meals were fairly good. What was best was the waitress/cashier who helped us. She was extremely nice and friendly to my family. We were all very tired and this was good food to cap off a skiing trip. One regret that I recall having is not trying their local branded coffee. I had already had a bunch of cups earlier in the day and it would have been overkill. However, the beans smelled good and I wanted to try it. If driving through, it is worth the lunch stop. read more

I stopped in during a recent visit to Staunton. I ordered the black bean burger and bought some cookies -- all were delicious. I really appreciated they not only required masks but also required plastic gloves to wear in the store, which they provided. I also bought some jam and can't wait to try. read more

Excellent food breakfast, lunch and dinner made with locally farmed ingredients. Most everything on the menu can be made Gluten Free and is delicious. They are moving a few doors down shortly for lots more seating! A must visit. read more

To be fair, this was our third visit in three years and the first two times were both delightful and delicious. Today, however, we had an overpriced and unappealing meal. $11.50 each for a dry and mediocre black bean burger served with a pile of generic potato chips. The vegetable soup looked and tasted like public school cafeteria food and the tomato basil soup looked great but seemed to have not been taste tested by the cook. At $3.50 apiece, the "iced tea" was barely not water. Our previous visits were in the much smaller space before the relocation. Perhaps they should have stayed there and put the money into maintaining quality instead of asking for customers to round up their bill to help pay down the debt. I'm happy to pay good money for good food, but today we spent over $40 on a terrible meal. read more

Great lunch section! There was a variety of gluten free options from sandwiches, salads, and soup! Coffee was fantastic as was the service. It was quiet and friendly, perfect for a lunch out of the office! Having the store and cafe combined meant I could do a little food shopping too! Don't forget to grab a macaroon, amazing! read more

Try the 'greens' breakfast, it is heavenly!! I always look forward to seeing what delicious homemade local jellies (yes, plural, yay!) they will serve with my toast. And I love that they offer you three different coffees from which to choose. It's a teeny bit pricey for breakfast but worth the splurge! read more

My favorite haunt in town. Good local food, quiet casual atmosphere and friendly service. I like that they have a grocery area where you can get local goods as well as premade meals/snacks that you can take with you. Sometimes they have food that is safe for a paleo/primal muncher like myself which is a rarity when eating out. read more

We found this place on Yelp during an unplanned trip to Staunton for a funeral. This locally owned establishment and staff brought a ray of sunshine to our hearts and our belly's! We ordered 2 "Healthy Hippies", cheesy grits and coffee with local raw honey. On our way out we purchased the homemade lemon poundcake and orange marmalade to bring to our family which brought some sunshine to them. We had a short visit with one of the owners, John. He was absolutely delightful. If we're back in the area we'll be back and plan to let others know about this wonderful place. If you don't know where you're going it can be tricky to find. The restaurant faces the front of the Howard Johnson Hotel, not the street. read more

This may have a good breakfast but we ordered hamburger steak and it was a just that a hamburger with gravy on top. My tomato soup was the constancy of paste and I had a hair on my plate and grossed me out so bad I couldn't finish my meal . Two of our guests sat with no dinner as we all finished our meal. The two servers never came back to check on our food. Outside smoking ...go figure. We will not be back read more

The hours are so accommodating, and the prices are very affordable. For breakfast I like to get coffee, a warm scone with butter and jam, and the cheddar grits. I like that they offer local, seasonal produce and local eggs and milk. It's a pleasant atmosphere to meet with friends. read more

Nu-Beginning - Breakfast at Nu-Beginning Farm Store, April 17, 2014 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Staunton, Virginia

Oh my is a good way to describe the food I ate there. No sign on the building, across the parking lot from the Econo Lodge and next to a Chinese place, don't recall name, you will drive right by it if you don't have a GPS telling you that you passed it! The salads and dressings are amazing, weird to say I know. We had the dinner special too, roast chicken with mashed potatoes and meatloaf and mashed potatoes. I hate to sound like a teenager but OMG. I am 50 years old and have lost some of my senses, I'll admit, but the chicken and gravy and potatoes - WOW. My friend had the meatloaf and the spices in it were terrific! I had no idea food could taste that delicious again! We bought almond pound cake, home made soaps...this place is a gem and a definite must the next time I am in Staunton! read more

Great breakfast place and Friday has a great duo playing great classics.Food and music are great. GB

Drove from NC to PA on July 5th and searched for a good place to eat. Maybe it was the day after the holiday and lack of customers but lunch wasn't that good. My burger was decent, but my side of mac & cheese was old, cold and not tasty. My wife's tomato sandwich was on old bread. Very disappointed. read more
