Breakfast prices range from $0.50 to $5.50.

The caf茅 offers a spread of lunch options such as fresh salads, Angus beef burgers, Portabella cap mushroom sandwiches, daily chef specials, build-your-own sandwiches, pizza, hot dogs, and soups.

鈥溌槎褂笆 has done so much for 麻豆影视 and the surrounding communities, and to be a part of something that contributes to the greater good of the community where I raise my children is a privilege,鈥 she said. 鈥淥ne of my favorite memories from college was meeting up with all of my friends and grabbing lunch. It was a much needed break before classes started again in the afternoon.鈥

Fulchiero鈥檚 personal passion for the environment influenced her approach to 麻豆影视鈥檚 eatery.

She and her employees support local farmers by purchasing produce from the 麻豆影视 Farmers Market and working with US Foods to obtain locally sourced produce.

Some of the caf茅鈥檚 items such as napkins, boxes, and containers consist of unbleached, compostable, molded wheat fiber paper. The staff also uses non-aerosol sprays.
