I didn't even realize CNF was opening in the Northwest until the week it happened. Such a lovely surprise!
I visited the other day. It was strange at first. I know the other two shops like the back of my hand as I have been going there since I was a young vegetarian. The location seems pretty large, the aisles a little more spacious. The other two locations have this vibrancy I love about CNF, that this one seems to be missing, but I'll give it time. It just seemed, a little hollower. Maybe it's just me.
I would love to go when the cafe is open sometime as it seems they have quite a bit of space, and whenever I try to eat at the downtown Community Cafe, it is always crazy busy and one is hardpressed to find a seat. The refrigerated section with tofu and stuff is well stocked, and everything is easy to find. Just still getting used to it.
One thing, is that I showed up about ten minutes after their opening time and the OPEN sign wasn't on, which kind of led to questioning of whether I should be THAT GUY who shows up when staff are still trying to wake up and get organized. Luckily someone else beat me to it and I meekly followed.
Glad to have a new location.
