Café At 407 - Town of Salina

While the options for vegetarians and vegans are somewhat limited, the dishes I tried were delicious and expertly prepared with fresh local ingredients. Kudos go to the organization behind this establishment for their efforts. The atmosphere is friendly, comfortable, and welcoming.

I had lunch at this busy restaurant, which had a lovely atmosphere and seemed to be a popular spot for locals. I didn't notice any vegan options on the menu, although some dishes could potentially be modified to be vegan (like removing cheese from the hummus plate or omitting cheese and meat from various salads). I ordered the California burger after confirming its vegan status, but I was disappointed to find it came with melted cheese on top and there was cheese on the small side salad as well.

No joke—this is genuinely the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had. I opted for the homemade biscuit, which came with egg, cheese, and Beyond sausage. The biscuit was absolutely perfect, and they must use some local cheese that was sharp yet not overpowering. Simply put, it was an amazing breakfast sandwich!

I visited for lunch and found the place to be quite busy with a pleasant atmosphere, suggesting that many locals are regulars here. I didn't notice any vegan options on the menu, but the staff indicated that some dishes could be modified to be vegan (like removing cheese or meat from various salads or omitting items from the hummus plate). I ordered the California burger, expecting a vegan option, but was disappointed to find melted cheese on top.

From their website: "Our mission is simple: to serve delicious, seasonal, locally-sourced, and lovingly handmade food. We provide meals that nourish the body, uplift the soul, and foster a sense of community. We prioritize local ingredients, adjust our menu according to the seasons, and direct all our proceeds to support Ophelia's Place." If you're an advocate for body positivity and want to learn more about eating disorders along with available resources for those who may be struggling, consider making this café one of your go-to spots. They offer a selection of vegan options and have non-dairy milk available for your coffee drinks. This is an updated review as of August 17, 2023.
