Manager Sarah and team run a great little restaurant. If you have never tried out FARE, give it a taste test. The food I think is all organic and healthy - no deep frying here. If Gabby is there she can help make bowl suggestions. Food is flavorful and worth the $. Your belly will be happy if you give it a try.

The food is amazing! Great flavor! The turkey meatballs was the best I’ve tasted and the Mac n cheese was so yummy. Excuse the pic, I was 5 bites in before taking a picture lol

As a first time luncher, Cam provided super friendly service and expert guidance. Everything was delicious - I especially enjoyed the roasted sweet potatoes and smoky chicken with freshly blended pesto sauce. YUM! The atmosphere is really nice, beautifully designed and surprisingly spacious and quiet. Check it out, people!

Creative, healthy and thoughtful concept with kind staff and a cute space. It was just what I needed today and I’m so glad to have found it 🫶

I've ordered take-out 4 or 5 times since they opened, and the first few times were pretty decent - food was on time and fresh. But the last couple times have been very lackluster - less-than-fresh food (or in today's case, runny scrambled eggs), and they actually didn't even get my online order last time, so I had to wait while they made it. Not a huge deal. However, today I ordered the scrambled egg bowl. It is supposed to come with eggs, sweet potato hash, a corn muffin, and sp
