The thing is, we are not concerned with how business works. We did not open this cafe to make money, and so far things are going great :) So you are absolutely right... we are not in the right frame of mind to run a business. Not at all. In fact, we may have been at least a little insane to open a vegan cafe in bbq city during an economic recession with: 3 children (actually 8 months pregnant when we first opened), around 20 rescued animals in our care (dogs, cats, pig, donkey), and absolutely no money. When you think about it from a business standpoint, this is completely ridiculous. Fortunately, we are not business minded at all. Thus, we decided to give this a try. Hopefully someday we can afford a staff so that we can be open more often. In the meantime, family will always come first at whatever cost. If we ever put business before our family, we have failed miserably. What good is it to run a great business and lose your soul in the process? So we will always seek to make a life first... and if we make a living in the process, I guess that will be okay, too! Peace and Love, Adam and Kristie Hey Josh,

I've tried to support your business b/c i like to eat vegan food for health reasons. I've had similar experiences 4 times already, and I was going to give you guys one last chance today for lunch, but i checked this site before heading over to avoid the frustration and found that you are not open Mon, Tues, or for lunch on Wednesday. I'm sorry guys, but that's just not how business works. You've got to be there for your customers. And I'm willing to endure a little inconvenience for a healthy meal, but you guys are just not open enough. Whie I like your food, I don't think you guys are in the right frame of mind to run a business. But I hope you find a way to succeed! Definitely let me know if your hours expand or become more definite. I agree with Tommy’s post. I’ve tried to support your business b/c i like to eat vegan food for health reasons.

We all had a great time. If I heard it once, I heard it ten times, “Thanks for choosing this restaurant, I would NEVER have eaten here on my own…and I LOVED it. I will definitely be back.” Food was amazing, as was your hospitality. Thanks. foodiememphis Thanks for a great gathering at your restaurant. We all had a great time.
