Tell us about your Organic brew:
We carry organic coffees from all the major growing regions around the world, Central and South America, Africa, and Pacific-Indonesia. We use 2 small regional coffee roasters, Matties Mountain Mud located in Newcastle, Va and Red Rooster Coffee located in Floyd, Va. Both roasters purchase top quality beans roasted to perfection.

What’s on the menu?
We have added a few new items to our menu. The Blackened Tofu Sandwich is made of blackened tofu, fresh made cole slaw and our chipotle ranch dressing on a whole wheat bun. There’s the Rueben with marinated tempeh, swiss cheese, sauerkraut, avocado and thousand island dressing on grilled rye. The BBQ Sandwich has BBQ Seitan with fresh cole slaw served on a toasted whole wheat bun. The Blackened Tofu Salad is an Organic mix of greens topped with spicy blackened tofu, tomato, cucumber and red onion, served with our chipotle ranch dressing. The Hummus Salad includes spicy blackened tofu, fresh slaw and our chipotle ranch served on a toasted whole wheat bun. The BBQ Wrap has BBQ Seitan and brown rice in a grilled tortilla served with fresh slaw on the side.

What’s the local favorite?
As far as breakfast goes the Breakfast Burrito is our biggest local favorite. The Avocado Melt is still very popular with our lunch crowd. Our most popular drinks are wide array of Lattes, our smoothies and of’course the swiftkick.
