Founder Camilla Marcus describes the menu as “accidentally vegetarian” with an emphasis on local and organic produce. You will find seasonal rotating ales and kombucha on tap, along with a multitude of grain bowls, vegetable smash, and coconut chia pudding topped with rose halva that are all served from 8am-10pm, seven days a week.

 
A portion of every purchase goes directly to the Robin Hood Foundation, which helps fund a local charity called The Door to train underprivileged youth to work in the hospitality industry. www.westbourne.com
