Fresh Ground Cafe is The Working Centre's plant-based whole foods cafe in downtown Kitchener - an oasis of brightness and calm, with close to 1,000 plants helping to offer fresh ground for us to gather as community.
We have a new menu that celebrates community, sustainability, and the joy of sharing meals. This menu will also be available at Fresh Ground, in take home meals and catering options.
In our lively kitchen, we prepare fresh food daily, uniting individuals from diverse backgrounds to collaborate, acquire new skills, and create delicious, affordable, and healthy whole food dishes. Discover our beloved traditional favorites alongside offerings from our new café, which features a plant-based menu designed to encourage mindful eating and promote a lighter lifestyle.
We have been working to build a regenerative café model, where we are reducing our waste as much as we can, including in our take home dishes and practices in house.
A new coffee roaster prepares fresh roasted coffee and the delicious teas and drinks make this a great spot to grab a tea or coffee, or meet a friend.
We are hoping you come for more than the food. Fresh Ground Café is also a space that will host discussions, explorations of ideas, and circles to understand deeply the great unravelling of our world and the opportunity to build a more compassionate and just world.
Open hours - 8:30 am to 3:30 pm - Monday to Saturday
