1/2 sandwich (jacked club & soup (tomato basil)
Lisa M.

Enjoyed a delicious lunch here. I had the 1/2 sandwich & soup. The jacked club was tasty and filling. I loved the tomato basil soup. Very cute presentation with homemade croutons on the spoon. Service was friendly. Will be back! What a cute place (plus the Big Store) and a great cause.

Items from BIG gift shop made by BIG artists
Gia Z.

I was beyond thrilled to visit this remarkable place--it truly exceeded my expectations. This café and gift shop is a nonprofit vocational community dedicated to supporting adults with special needs. They craft an array of beautiful items, including pottery, specialty soaps, cards, jewelry, dog treats, cookies, fudge, granola, and pies. The interior of the café and gift shop was stunning, and I hardly knew where to begin describing its charm. **Café:** The setup is straightforward; you place your order at the register. I enjoyed a croissant sandwich filled with egg, bacon, and cheese, complemented by a cup of fresh fruit. My daughter opted for two breakfast tacos paired with a fruit cup. Their menu also features specialty coffee and drinks. The café ambiance is delightful, accompanied by great music. Outdoor seating is available on the patio for those who want to savor the weather. Alternatively, if you prefer a quieter atmosphere, you can grab your food to-go and head over to the Sunflower Room across the parking lot. This area offers additional seating both indoors and outdoors. The customer service was exceptional--friendly and welcoming. **Gift Shop:** I fell in love with it! There's a vast selection to explore, from faith-based items and gorgeous jewelry to clothing and children's goods. However, the handmade creations by the BIG citizens stole the show for me. Words can hardly do justice to how incredible these handcrafted items are. Each piece comes with a card introducing the artist behind it, making the experience even more meaningful. While the shop boasts other wonderful products, my focus was mainly on the BIG handmade creations. I couldn't resist buying a few treasures, including earrings ($15 each), trinket holders ($10 each), bracelets ($15 each), and a beautifully handcrafted card ($6 each). These items are not just stunning; they carry the unique stories of their creators and offer a sense of fulfillment knowing my purchases support them. After checking out, I discovered that the Sunroom features a gallery showcasing even more BIG artists' creations. I wandered over there and was blown away by the breathtaking pottery and other handmade items. If only I had a bigger budget--I wanted to take it all home! This will undoubtedly be my go-to destination for unique and meaningful gifts. I'm already looking forward to returning for both the café and the gift shop!

What a beautiful concept. Great space, good labor, and a sweet atmosphere. I saw this place and wanted to visit months ago. Just today, I had the chance. I had breakfast, the parfait with the Big biscuit with jam and an Americano. I bought a pair of eco-friendly shades, and visited the "what looks like" a green house, but it's just the extension of the shopping area where I bought my dear friend a gift. They have opportunities to volunteer and spread the world. It's important to support local businesses but also get involved in the community and give your time for something that brings love and kindness to others. I'm glad I know about this place. Thank you for opening businesses like this!

Turkey sandwich & fruit cup
Denise D.

I can't believe I waited 3 years to eat here! What a fun and fabulous place! Amazing food, sweet service, and they have a gift shop to boot! The dining area consists of both indoor & outdoor areas, and there is shade. I ordered the turkey cranberry sandwich with the tomato soup and it was delicious!! The plating is very appetizing! If you are looking for a nice lunch give Big Kitchen a try! You won't be sorry!

Grilled cheese, soup and latte coffee

Great spot for a relaxed bite--loved the perfectly toasted sandwich and fresh sides. The cappuccino was smooth, showing real attention to quality. Simple, tasty, and definitely worth a visit.

Blackbean, quinoa, sweet potato salad with honey dressing.
Laura P.

I had an excellent experience at this restaurant today. I started by walking through the beautiful boutique, I can hardly wait to come back and spend some money here. They have beautiful Christmas items right now. We waited in a short line to be seated, the restaurant was busy. One of the ladies working took the time to find us a table while we were waiting in line, that was very kind because we did not ask her to do that. At this restaurant, one orders upfront and then sits down and waits for their food. They have a wonderful seasonal menu right now. I enjoyed a black bean, quinoa, sweet potato salad with a honey dressing and gluten-free bread on the side. I complemented this with some loose leaf, black tea, which was perfect. My husband had breakfast tacos, which were quite large and on flour tortillas; he enjoyed them very much. He topped them off with a Dr Pepper. I can't say enough nice things about this restaurant, you just gotta come here.! Every time I visit this restaurant , it's absolutely splendid!

There is not a lot of parking on the street itself but there is a nearby lot that would be easier to manage getting a spot. I liked their almond croissant but the masala chai had too much milk and not enough chai. The decor is super cute, especially for the afternoon tea! We thoroughly enjoyed most of the spread except the texture and flavor of the macarons could use some improvement. The teapots had unlimited refills (I think?) and all the options sounded so good! It was about $30/person and I think that was more than fair. We saw a group with a couple of women and young girls with them who were also doing a tea party! It was so cute to see kids being able to enjoy this too :)

Was 35 minute drive to get here. This place is easy to find- though if you're not armed with a handicap placard that can get you a spot right out front- you should just park in the big open lot at the end of this street. Don't worry it's less than a block away. The service is chill and efficient. They'll warm up your pastry selection for you. If you can stay and enjoy things on a plate and in a mug, you won't regret it. I had the Brunch Pocket. Yes, just the name makes you want it, right!? It's a cheesy croissant with bacon, turkey, and egg inside! Uhhhh, YUMMY! It's a bit flaky though, so be prepared to make a mess. My beverage of choice today was the Silk Mocha Latte. I did it with Oat Milk and it was silky silky smoothness wrapped in whip cream heaven. There's a photo for your drooling pleasures. Check this place out for sure! Note: also on the menu Rainbow bagels (great for kids) they've got flavors of cream cheese to choose from too. Macaroons in all the colors/flavors and a few frozen lattes to choose from too including Rose Noon Chai and a Jade Matcha

In addition to books/etc., there is a nice coffee shop with GF and vegan treats and small menu of lite bites. They alo have a huge loose tea selection.

The owner conveyed this a woman owned and woman led bookstore. She also said some of their key bookstore tenets was inclusion, intersectionality, and authenticity. A total of 5 authors shared their thoughts on becoming authors, challenges and opportunities. The authors discussed different genres of books - children books, sci-fi, romance, poems and biographies. One author shared some thought-provoking messages: "You don't what you think until you see what you say. Words were currency and powerful." She also said her mother never asked her how her day was but instead what questions did you ask in class. She indicated these questions provoked deeper conversations. This was a great event...
