THERE’S A NEW CAFÉ IN DOWNTOWN MANCHESTER

The Works Café, featuring hearty breakfast options, artisan sandwiches, organic quinoa bowls, chef-inspired salads, and single source La Minita coffee, is opening on May 6 at 1000 Elm St. in the Brady Sullivan complex. The café’s hours will be from 6AM to 8PM. Food may be enjoyed in the welcoming dining room and at tables outdoors in the grassy courtyard area.

Additional menu offerings include breakfast burritos, in-house baked breads and pastries, chef-inspired salads, gourmet comfort food, real fruit and veggie smoothies, from-scratch soups, and more. Fresh bagels and smoked salmon are a specialty. There are options for breakfast, lunch and dinner, including vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free offerings.

The Works sources chicken, ham, bacon and turkey raised without antibiotics or hormones and fed an all-vegetarian diet. And all their meats come from farms certified humane.

Richard French, founder and CEO of The Works, has a long history in the food business. He originally launched the first Works, in Manchester, VT back in 1988 after graduating from University of Vermont. Inspired by his love of food, French continues to connect his passion for fresh, healthy, thoughtfully-sourced foods with his commitment to social and environmental responsibility.

French says the new Manchester café is committed to using local resources whenever possible. Their organic wheat flour comes from Farmer Ground Flour in Trumansburg, NY; eggs from Nelly’s Free Range in Monroe, NH; organic yogurt from Stonyfield Farm in Londonderry, NH; smoked salmon from True North Salmon, Ltd. in Blacks Harbour, New Brunswick; and blueberries from Wyman’s in Maine.

The Works’ commitment to sustainability and the environment does not end with the food. According to French, there’s more than one mission behind the menu. “The buildout of our new Manchester café relied on lots of repurposed, up-cycled and green products—many made by local craftspeople—and energy efficient equipment.” The Works’ interior space includes reclaimed wood booths, Energy Star rated kitchen equipment and LED light fixtures.

French went on to say, “we are excited to be part of Manchester’s revitalization by adding our energy to this growing, vibrant downtown. Please join us on May 6 for our grand opening!”
