In this day and age we are all acutely aware of the impact that we as humans have had on Planet Earth. This realisation has given birth to a new movement. The Green movement. It seems we all want to be a little Green. The Corner Café, in Glenwood, is one such establishment. Owner, Judd Campbell is passionate about reducing the impact that the running of a restaurant can have on the environment. Whether by using organic ingredients, banishing plastic, sourcing foods locally or by using sun powered ovens, the campaign is simple. Re-use, recycle and love our Planet. The menu is short and simple consisting of breakfasts, soups, salads, and sandwiches. There is something for everyone including mouth-watering vegetarian options.
