When I'm running late for work or haven't packed a lunch, Bene Plates Cafe has quickly become my go-to place to grab healthy, affordable food. Chris, the owner, often greets you from behind the counter to take your order. There seems to be a steady crowd of students, faculty and staff from SCNM which is always a good sign. And Bene supports local by serving favorites such as Nobel Bread, Rad Pressed Juices and Peixoto Coffee. The food is fantastic and I have yet to find a single meal or tea that wasn't delicious (and I've tried a few). What a great hidden gem! I urge you to visit and support this wonderful, new, local business!
