Everybody Eats!

Rice and Beans Plate at Rosetta's Kitchen

We believe that food is a human right

Our Everybody Eats policy is intended to serve the community, especially those in need all year.

Everyday we serve the Rice and Beans Plate as part of the Everybody Eats policy. This sliding scale plate of fresh whole food is a menu item from which we DO NOT profit. We are, however committed to meeting our expenses in order to care for the farmers, vendors, and the employees we support. Thank you for opening your heart and contributing to creating a world of plenty for all!

Sliding Scale: $2 - $6+
Anything over $6 allows us to pay it forward so others in the community may eat.
Pay what you can.
Pay it forward :)

We are Downtown Asheville’s fresh, funky, wholesome veggie café, serving lunch and dinner from our extensive comfort food menu.  Since 2002 we have been creating unique vegetarian and vegan soul foods out of our colorful space. Upstairs offers counter service and two dining rooms, while downstairs has the same healthy menu along with a full bar mixing up nutritive cocktails, spirited elixirs, and organic fresh juices. Straight from the tap, we have local beers, cider, and Buchi Kombucha.

Over the years, we have hosted hundreds of benefits, art shows, and musicians. We have fed the homeless, the hungry, the creatives, vagabonds, some celebrities, and everyone in between! We have nourished all who have passed through our doors in the best ways we know how while striving to make sure our menu can fill any belly and our space can warm any soul.Thanks for coming by! It’s an honor to feed you!
