Seasonal Menus and Sustainable Sourcing
At Café Mila, we believe in nourishing both the body and the soul. That’s why we’ve curated a menu that celebrates the bounty of each season, featuring fresh, locally-sourced ingredients that not only delight the palate, but also support the health and wellbeing of our community.
Farm-to-Table Freshness
Our chefs work closely with nearby organic farms and producers to source the highest quality produce, meats, and dairy. We take pride in showcasing the vibrant flavors of each season, whether it’s the crisp, juicy apples of autumn, the bright, verdant greens of spring, or the juicy heirloom tomatoes of summer. By prioritizing seasonality and local sourcing, we’re able to minimize our environmental impact while ensuring that every dish that leaves our kitchen is a true celebration of the land.
Locally Sourced Ingredients
From the honey that sweetens our morning lattes to the freshly milled flour that goes into our artisanal breads, we strive to support small, independent businesses within a 50-mile radius of our café. This not only strengthens our local economy, but also allows us to trace the origins of our ingredients and ensure they meet our high standards of quality and sustainability.
Nutritional Guidance
Alongside our seasonally inspired menu, we offer personalized nutritional guidance to help our guests make the most of their café experience. Our in-house nutritionist, Sarah, is available for one-on-one consultations, guiding customers towards nourishing meal choices that align with their unique dietary needs and wellness goals. Whether you’re looking to manage a chronic condition, support your athletic performance, or simply cultivate a more mindful relationship with food, Sarah’s expertise is invaluable.
