Starting in May, due to our new commitment at the Valley of the Mood Farmers’ Market every Tuesday night in Sonoma, we will only be at the Renaissance Marin on Wednesdays from 9am to 2:30pm.

Then starting in June, if all things go according to plan (and we’ve already learned they sometimes don’t), we’ll be moving into the food truck full time and will have to say goodbye the pop-up cafe. But don’t worry, San Rafael friends, we are planning to have the truck in downtown San Rafael for lunch at least a couple of times a week!

A full schedule of our regular food truck locations will be posted closer to its launch date.

Thank you to everyone who has come and visited us at the cafe! We’ll still be there until the end of May, so come see us!

Edit: Due to a delay with the truck, we will be at the cafe every THURSDAY from 9:30am to 2:30pm through the end of June!

Our first bowl of Winter Root Vegetable Soup!

We are very excited about this month’s additions to the menu!

For breakfast, we are serving our Pecan Coffee Cake. We’ve posted the recipe, so try it for yourself and let us know how it turns out! We are also debuting one of our favorite classic southern breakfast items: cheese grits! Made with organic ground corn and sharp cheddar cheese, this menu addition makes the perfect gluten-free morning snack or lunch accompaniment.

For lunch, we have two new entrees. The first is a hearty vegan Winter Root Vegetable Soup made with butternut squash, sweet potato, parsnip, turnip and celery root. The second is a gluten-free Turkey Meatloaf made with quinoa and a special blend of spices.

For dessert, try our beautiful new red velvet sandwich cookies! They make a great gift for your valentine!

Come visit us at the pop-up cafe at 1115 3rd St. in downtown San Rafael. We are there every Tuesday and Wednesday from 9am to 2:30pm. Hope to see you there!

Arthur serving up our first bowl of Grandmother’s Chicken & Dumplings!

This month, we are excited to offer a few new additions to the menu at the cafe. In the morning, we have Pumpkin Pecan Coffee Cake to go with our Barking Dog French press coffee and Mighty Leaf hot tea.

For lunch, we have Grandmother’s Chicken & Dumplings made the way Rachel’s grandmother and GREAT grandmother made them. It is a classic Southern dish, so be sure to come try it while it lasts!

Last month we added fresh organic mixed greens with apple cider vinaigrette to our regular list of sides, and this month we are adding one more: Spicy Black Eyed Peas. This new vegan side is perfect for our Veggie Plate: your choice of three sides plus a homemade buttermilk biscuit.

As always, we have our full menu of Arthur’s Fried Chicken, Baked Mac & Cheese, Southern-Style Vegan Collard Greens and Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits. We also still have our Fried Chicken Salad and our Southern-Style Tofu Salad, both served with our homemade Buttermilk Ranch Dressing.

Come visit us at the pop-up cafe at 1115 3rd St. in downtown San Rafael. We are there every Tuesday and Wednesday from 9am to 2:30pm. Hope to see you there!

We served our full menu of fried chicken, mashed potatoes, mac & cheese, collard greens, coleslaw, buttermilk biscuits, raspberry peach cobbler and peach iced tea. Music was provided by Sean Carscadden and a photography exhibit by Ryan Daffurn, both out of Sonoma.

A huge thanks to everyone who came. We had a blast! A huge thanks also to our helpers Tess, Chris, Nicole and Victor and to everyone at the RenCenter who helped pull it all together.

All set up for dinner service
