"Our cafe offers inspired health-conscious cuisine focused on sustainable ingredients and organic whenever possible. Enjoy a delicious breakfast, brunch or lunch-with organic, vegan or gluten free options available."-David & Beatriz Gomez (828 Owners). (Quote from their website)
I had: Chicken or Chorizo Bowl. $9.99...
Chicken or Chorizo, Rice, Black Beans, Lettuce, Pico de Gallo, Sour Cream, Cheese, w/house Potato chips and house Roasted Salsa...add Avocado $1.69
Wife had: Chicken BLT Wrap $10.99...
Tomato Basil Wrap, Signature chicken tenders, Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato, Ranch, w/side of house Potato Chips
Parking: The cafe has free parking and easily accommodated the lunch time crowd with spaces in the front (including handicap) as well on the side in a lot, and in the back as well.
828 Cafe's appearance from the street is striking!!! It features a mural of a black Bears face with the mountains in the background. It was done (according to website) by an artist friend named Marina who is amazing! Take time to walk around the outside and see all the different scenes she did.
Inside: 828 is order-@-the counter and take a seat and in a short bit your food is delivered. Many folks were ordering take-out or picking up orders already called in. If you're into Kombucha they have that too!
Food: The Chorizo Bowl was well composed, tasty, healthy, and filling. I would order again unless I decided to go for the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich instead, Lol. My wife really liked the Chicken BLT Wrap. It was plenty of food but light and healthy for lunch. The price point for lunch was good for us.
The breakfast menu is worth it if you are there at that time of day. They have great choices of omelettes, french toast, waffles and breakfast bowls with some creative touches and often a Latin twist.

The amazing employees stopped me in drive thru when I ordered a gluten free sandwich wrong. I was so unsure. I asked the person on the way home if that ( the way the employees recommended) was correct and they said yes. I am super appreciative of them taking allergies seriously. I cannot say how awesome you are for that. Many many thanks. 🤙🫶

Fantastic food. Just be nice a fish place didn't have chicken stock rice as some of us are allergic to chicken. Otherwise fantastic place. Favorite restaurant in town. Just need more options that aren't breaded for those of us with gluten allergies. The breading can't be done and only 4-5 meals without breading. Come on guys.

There were seats available when I went. The food was served in a decent amount of time. Quality is excellent! I ordered the fried catfish, green beans, sweet potato casserole, potato salad and sweet tea. It was a wonderful meal. Having a gluten allergy, I was careful what I ordered. So come to enjoy this Great Homestyle Restaurant that has been around in this area for years.
