Story

The Good Harvest Cafe was founded in 1993 with the intention of creating not only a family business but also providing a much needed service to the community; that service being a well-researched approach to your health through whole foods used in our tasty recipes.

At The Good Harvest Cafe, we have eliminated all unhealthy cooking oils. We use no trans-fats, tropical or hydrogenated oils or margarines. Although much more expensive to use, we only cook with olive oil, vegetable oil, 100% rice bran oil and real butter. Rice bran oil actually removes LDL cholesterol, is half the calories of other oils, and has no artificial ingredients.

Our cooking methods for meats and fish are grilling, sauteing, poaching, and charbroiling. Fish that is deep fried is done with 100% rice bran oil.

Our breakfasts are prepared using extra large grade AA eggs, whole grain breads, fresh squeezed juices (which deliver an active enzyme action that bottled juices don't), fresh fruit smoothies, and fruit bowls with non-fat yogurt and granola. 100% pure maple syrup (upon request), real butter, herbed red potatoes, real 5-minute oatmeal, the finest Arabica beans ground fresh for all coffee and espresso drinks, and Hass avocados are just a sampling of the extra steps we take to insure our high standard of quality.

We offer many alternatives to standard menu fare.

If you are avoiding the high cholesterol in eggs, you may choose the absolutely delicious tofu rancheros or try soy protein sausage links. You might want to try buckwheat pancakes instead of buttermilk. We make our own tasty low-fat herbed cheese for Eggs Benedict and our California Benedict which greatly reduces the high cholesterol and fat found in the traditional hollandaise sauce.

At lunch, instead of our turkey and bacon club sandwich, you might want to try our delicious vegetarian club, or maybe a homemade veggie burger instead of beef. Our beef is from a family farm which uses no hormones or antibiotics, and all of our fish is caught in the wild, rather than farm raised. Our salads are prepared with the freshest dark greens, vegetables, and leafy spring mix, which has a colorful and healthy array of fresh garden nutrients. Our salad dressings are homemade and most are non-fat or low-fat.

Eating low-carb or low-fat is very easy at The Good Harvest Cafe. Although we go out of our way to insure the high quality of our foods, we remain competitively priced. So please, stop by and enjoy!

We also offer all our beverages and meals to-go!
