I love Matthew 25’s mission, and this is a great space! The food is very yummy and the environment is always clean and inviting. The event space next-door is also really nice!

Great food, great mission, welcoming staff, and a convenient location! What more can you ask for?! I thought I was receiving an iced tea to go, but I in reality, I think it is cold brew coffee - surprise! But it's very good I will say :)
Our simple healthy menu features delicious soups, salads, sandwiches, and omelets made from fresh local and organic ingredients. We also serve a selection of fair trade coffee and teas.
The Groundswell Cafe is a pay-it-forward eatery. Guests can round up their bill or make a donation to help pay for a meal for someone who can’t afford it. Those who can’t afford to pay can order and enjoy our super-fresh, healthy food at no cost.
The cafe space is available to rent on evenings and weekends. It's an ideal venue for a variety of events, including community group meetings, corporate events and training, holiday parties, concerts, recitals, and more.
