Positive Vibe Cafe Restaurant Review

: Founded by Garth Larcen for his son Max, who has muscular dystrophy, the Positive Vibe Café employs many with physical or cognitive disabilities (over 600 have trained here), and is designed to comfortably accommodate guests in wheelchairs with double-wide, automatic sliding doors and a bar you can roll right up to. But once you try the healthy fare, forget altruism; it’s all about taste. A grilled salmon curry taco packs an multinational flavor punch with coconut milk, sweet raisins, crispy rice noodles and tender spinach on grilled flatbread; citrus au jus invigorates Cuban roast pork with fried plantains; vegetarian dishes featuring local and organic products are beautifully composed; and nothing refreshes like the fresh squeezed citrus ades in lime, lemon, orange or cherry lemon. Brunch and monthly guest chef events are especially fun. Corporate and community support have been keen and most servers are volunteers. The décor is modern and stimulating, thanks to changing artwork by challenged artists, and a fresh renovation. “Take nothing for granted” reminds the menu. Including the tasty buffalo meatloaf.
