Food for Thought is the second social enterprise opened by the same people behind the School of Thought tuition center for the less privileged. But more about that later. Walking into the small cafe, we were instantly charmed by its cozy, intimate décor. The menu is a straightforward list of Western soups, salads, sandwiches, desserts—with pasta as a recent addition. For starters, we had the creamy potato chowder soup, before moving on to the fab slow‑roasted pulled pork sandwich. Generously stuffed with chewy, hand‑shredded pork shoulder and lightly flavored with barbeque sauce, it was one of the best sandwiches we’d tried in a long time. Our shitake mushroom sauce with beef spaghetti was beautifully presented but slightly bland. However, the butterscotch peach crumble gave a sweet and sinfully creamy end to our meal. Not bad at all for a diner that serves above average quality food (we excuse the spaghetti as it’s a new addition) with reasonable prices and service in a comfortable setting. What’s more, part of Food for Thought’s profits go to a charity fund, which in turn is invested into water purifying projects overseas. Will we come back? Now that’s a thought.
