Amazing picturesque views of the Valley! Whether you’re coming in or leaving the area make a stop to soak in the view! Portions are big, and food healthy tasting yet very flavorful, try the side-salad with strawberry-habanero vinaigrette with your dish!!! The main room is huge with panoramic windows and comfortable seating! Beautiful outdoor covered seating. All dishes can be made with “Just” eggs and vegan cheese.

Tasty food in a wonderful environment. Keep in mind that they have a rotating menu, so check their website to see what they’re currently offering. Also, there is no takeout & avoid coming when you’re short on time. I enjoyed David’s winter noodle bowl & the coconut curry is a must try! My husband loves the vegetarian burrito and the Vortex Burger. I appreciate that their prices are more reasonable than other establishments. Love walking around the grounds before eating here.

We love this place!! Secluded seating outside in an artsy fun area with a koi pond and trails all over…one leads to a magical little gift shop full of fun little trinkets like candles and crystals and the lady is so sweet in there.. this whole place is friendly people and the price is great, food is great, I’m in love with the Arugula dressing and for now the seasonal portobello mushroom burger on pretzel bun, it’s amazing!

First time I came here the cashier was incredibly rude and ill informed of allergens on the menus. Second time the chef took my order, explained my options, and made a satisfying and delicious meal. Thank you! Vegan gluten free egg scramble, and vegan gluten free breakfast tacos. Chipotle mayo is very good and the green jalapeño salsa was so amazing

After reading the reviews of Food for Thought Café, we were excited and hopeful for a great breakfast experience. So, we made it our first stop in the morning, expecting a delightful meal. Unfortunately, our experience was far from what we had anticipated.
From the moment we placed our order, the staff member’s unfriendly and impatient attitude set a negative tone. We then waited inside for 20-25 minutes, only to receive a breakfast that was deeply disappointing.
The eggs were undercooked, the halloumi panini sandwich was ruined by cheap mayonnaise, and the overly extremly salted potatoes made the entire dish inedible ultimately, it ended up in the trash. To make matters worse, there were no coffee alternatives available.
We truly wish the glowing reviews had matched our experience, or that the café had lived up to the praise it has received. Sadly, this was not the case, and we left feeling disappointed.

I’ve been coming to Food for Thought Café since they opened, and it’s one of the few places I actually like eating out at. I usually cook for myself and don’t eat out much because the food quality is hit or miss, but this place is different. The veggies are always super fresh, and the food tastes like something I’d make at home. Even the dressings and sauces are all made in-house, and they add so much flavor to every dish! Chef Dave is incredible—constantly coming up with creative new dishes.
Jackie and the rest of the staff are super friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better.
Whether you’re vegan, vegetarian, or just into fresh, quality food, this place is definitely worth it.

The food was so delicious, we came back the next day. We had the curry and the bratwurst on the first day, and then the burger and the tostada bowl the next. The wait was a little long but it is all homemade to order so it made sense.

We had the BEST curry made by Karen! Highly recommended, my son had a bagel which was also super delicious! On top of that: nice view with big windows and very friendful staff! Thanks 4 everything!!!

Had the most lovely breakfast this morning at the Food for Thought Café. The tofu scramble had a great scrambled egg consistency and the potatoes and soup of the day were well seasoned and fresh. The espresso also hit the spot while my friend and I dined in low, comfy chairs basking in the morning sun. The staff was kind and welcoming from the beginning to end of our visit.

Lovely place and great staff.
Jackie was really friendly and gave good advice on the food choice.
Her own made pastries are a real treat. You should try them.
