Chinese New Year!

The Cafe is ringing in the Year of the Dragon with a special Cantonese menu from longtime volunteer Irene today! Irene has been at the Cafe since our opening in 2009 and she's from Hong Kong, where Cantonese cuisine (like dim sum) originates, and her recipes are passed down from her mother.

Today we'll be including some Chinese specialties into our menu. Chinese New Year is China's biggest holiday, a 15 day celebration filled with fun, festivities, and food! Come join us at Better World Cafe to celebrate!
