Having discovered the eatery at summer’s start, I’ve been impressed by its “fusion of inclusion” theme and the nuances of its “well considered food” that are light and healthy. The simplicity of Glenn’s menu choices reflects the conscious spirit to nourish not just the body, but the soul, as well as satisfying the palate with complex flavors.
Of course, I waited for a day like today to wrap me up and allow my impressions with Glenn Café to exude into words. Having gone through its entire menu, for the most part, hung out at it, enjoyed its nineties playlists and have gotten to know its owners—the family of three, Jason and his wife, Patricia, and his brother after which their establishment is named, Glenn—I have my favorites and then I have my necessities.
(I haven’t omitted you, Danielle; she works at the café and bakes some of the treats it offers.)
Given the quality of the food and it all being made to order, there is an average price point of 15-18 dollars. I find that it takes a certain level of discipline and awareness of how one eats to see the value of food at Glenn’s Café. Not only is it artistic in presentation, but the selections are created with the intention to offer a balanced dish. For instance, the Million Dollar Chicken or the salmon pasta salads offer both essential vitamins and nutrients in the company of essential amino acids or proteins. Where if calories are sought, the el Cubano is the go-to. Now, I’ve only ordered from the menu in onesies, but it can easily be treated as a la cart, so if a larger meal was put together (which I will do at some point), expect to spend north of twenty-five dollars.
In addition to its food and cozy atmosphere, Glenn’s Café advocates for individuals with special needs by supporting a number of organizations, including Special Needs Cobb, Down Syndrome Association of Atlanta, and the National Down Syndrome Society, Extra Special People, Inc., Center for the Visually Impaired, and the Smyrna Art Council. Given the simplicity of the café’s food and advocacy, I suspect the intention is to afford those with special needs a certain level of independence, comfort, and dignity with going out to eat.
I should note that Glenn is a special needs person, with Down Syndrome. Over the two months plus I’ve visited Glenn’s Café, he has presented as ordinary a person as any. He’s committed to the business, serving as the café’s Guest Relations Specialist. He attends the door for patrons coming or going and is always friendly, serving thumbs-ups and fist bumps.
Glenn, in fact, is what impressed me most about the café. As a spot for the usual suspects and new characters to come and hang out and chit-chat over good food, there was this one time it was slow and there was just Glenn, Jason and me, talking. There was this moment in which a relaxed vibe came of Glenn, which spoke to his level of comfort as to speak freely before me. I was no longer a stranger or just a patron. Then for his brother, Jason, to communicate what their conversation was about so as to keep me up to speed on Glenn’s thoughts, it was amazing to have witnessed their connection. It made me want to learn how Jason is able to listen to and understand Glenn, though I suspect their bond has been forged over the years. Still, I saw an aspect of a family that I don’t think many who come through the café’s doors have realized, appreciated, or even respected. Their connection is the heart of Glenn’s Café and it shows up in the food.
And on top of all of this, Glenn’s Café supports the local art community and even sells art created by the trio. Glenn’s Café is special, no doubt. It is definitely a plus to the community.
One more quick note – be careful when you open your napkins with the silverware. We were delighted to see little notes on the inside.
I don’t have an official dx for ASD but public places make my skin crawl like there’s a million ants running a marathon on my muscles, and this is one of the first places where I was in public and I just felt comfortable. I could exist in a beautiful low stimuli world and EMBRACE what it meant to exist in public without constantly having to battle my anxiety in order to pretend to be normal. This place immediately felt safe, from the second Glenn grinned and welcomed us inside. I can’t wait to try more menu items. In conclusion I’m so mad I didn’t eat here sooner, this is gonna become a regular spot for me for sure.
Do yourself a favor and stop by, try the famous Million Dollar Chicken Salad and if you are extra lucky – there will be awesome dessert options created by the Glenn’s team. Your heart and tummy will be happy you stopped by!!
We stopped for breakfast and the place was unique, the service was excellent and the food was excellent
We will be back!
