How has it taken me this long to discover Company Café? While they have a restaurant on Greenville, their newest spot is right on the Katy Trail next to Ice House... less than a mile from my apartment.
D Magazine sums it up pretty well: “The folks at Company Cafe care about natural, locally sourced, organic food. They are also determined to serve healthy, ‘clean lifestyle’ comfort food, including gluten-free versions of old-fashioned favorites.”
I stopped by Company Café on a Friday afternoon to try the Buddha's Brew Kombucha tea I keep hearing about from one of my favorite clients. One sip of this pineapple & blueberry concoction… and I was convinced this new find should become part of my normal routine.
Those who know me know I’m a little overboard with tea… usually having 3-4 venti unsweetened iced green teas a week from Starbucks, as well as the nightly cup of various hot tea. Now add in pineapple, blueberry, sparkling, antioxidant-packed goodness. I’m hooked!
Because the tea was such a hit, the roommates and I returned for dinner. Another amazing experience. Company Café is doing such an awesome job of showing people that local, clean, fresh food can taste just as good as comfort foods and be better for you.
By substituting some favorites, they put a healthy twist on each item on the menu. Cauliflower mash (to mimick mashed potatoes) tastes delicious while giving the body more omega-3, vitamins and minerals than regular mashed potatoes. Buffalo burgers give the body a leaner meat with less saturated fat to protect the heart. Many items on the menu also feature gluten-free options for those with celiac disease or suffering from a gluten sensitivity.

Needless to say, we woke up Saturday morning craving Company Café. Embarrassing? Maybe a little. Too embarrassing to go back for the third time in two days? Naaaah. Breakfast was the bomb.

We love Company Cafe, too. Stephen approached us to have our Impact Foods granola on the menu, so we are biased, but we find ourselves there 3-4 times a week, mainly for breakfast.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Blaine! I saw that granola on the menu... I'm a huge parfait fan so I want to try it! I'm sure it's delicious and I love the mission behind it.
