We stopped in for an early lunch, which they serve all day. Everything on the menu looked delicious and prices are reasonable. I had a bowl of the chicken and rice soup. The soup was thick and creamy with lots of vegetables and delicious. My husband loved the Club Sandwich which was packed with ham, bacon, avocado, lettuce and tomato. Service was a bit confusing as one of the clerks told me to sit down and brought a menu. But she never came back to take our order and we figured out we had to go up to the counter to order. I guess the regulars know this. The place is popular, there's a line to order and most tables full. They have a nice patio out back with tables. Inside, there are about 15 tables. It gets loud inside when they are full. They sell their locally roasted coffee in the shop along with other coffee related gifts. There is street parking out front and a handicapped access at the rear entrance.

Kindred Market is the kind of grocery store you wish your college town had but not every one of…read morethem does. Fortunately interest in healthy, diverse, organic products with a heavy emphasis on local and sustainable has found a niche here in Athens, home of Ohio University. You can get high quality essentials here and will pay for the local Snowville milk or Shagbark corn chips or Frog Ranch Salsa - all local companies that are building out and selling beyond local. You can also get a crazy selection of mushrooms because a local kid has really perfected the art of growing them here in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains in southeastern Ohio. The beer selection is well tended and leans into the rich ecosystem that is Athens and Ohio brewing (hit Jackie O's, Little Fish, Devil's Kettle, and West End while you pass through). Extras are some cool prepared food and two inside and three or four covered outside tables. Usually three soups to choose from and not just prepared sandwiches and salads but some wicked creative local desserts that I have always admired but not succumbed to. They also feature local artists in pottery, leather, ceramics, hand crafted paper products, candles. Look for the S.M. initials for my neighbor's pottery or M.H. for my colleague's pottery. Lucky to have friends with talent. Finally, if you want the healthy, natural soaps, lotions, bug repellants, vitamins etc, they've got that too. I buy shampoo bars there with minimal packaging and they work great while keeping plastic out of the landfill. Finally, you can get a member number and earn small credits that are always a pleasant surprise to deduct at checkout. Cardboard boxes are available to pack up if you forget your reusable bags.

What I loved most was how everything was actually homemade. They just pick a few things to make each day - one day it was this amazing white bean and kale soup, another day a curry chicken salad stuffed in a pita. Everything tasted fresh and you could tell they really cared about the food. Such a lifesaver for a work trip, when I usually end up eating junk. The coffee was fine from the one time I tried it, but I can't really judge it on just one cup.

Very refreshing cup, nice nutty notes, with the perfect amount of sugar and a tad of cream (added by the packet and they actually listened to my request and hit the nail on the head!) They also sell sandwiches and biscotti and cookies, some of which is locally baked! Overall a great spot in Vienna and far better than the commercial chains.
