"I like it because they're not trying to impress, they're trying to help." ~Johnny Evanson
One World Cafe has the most unique and brilliant concept of what a restaurant should be. Its motto is "A hand up, not a hand out," which means anyone can eat. The cafe will never turn down a hungry soul who can't pay and offers to trade their homegrown organic food for some work in their gardens or in the kitchen washing dishes. And they have a complimentary dish every day for all guests.
Oh yeah, this little hippie cafe has no menu or set prices.
Every day One World whips up a new menu from the gardens out back . The day's food is displayed on the big kitchen counter where guests pick out what they like and tell the person behind the counter how much of each dish they want. When you leave, there's a jar where you pay whatever you feel is fair.
The food is organic, healthy and served with a good cause in mind. The setting is a mixture of bohemian decor amidst chic, urban design. The cafe is divided up into several small rooms where you can eat in a variety of settings: on a plush canopied cushion, at a large table for friends, and even in a quiet corner sitting under pictures of Mother Theresa.
One World is quite the experience and takes a certain type of person to fully appreciate the genius of the place. If you're high maintenance, this place is not for you. But if you love trying new, unusual things, One World will definitely meet your standards.
