Hi, as you know Grape Leaf Cafe is no longer...BUT
I am a strong believer that food is still a love language💙
I have decided to embark on my
“Food is Love Language” Tour starting in Lancaster City to highlight great foods that are right here in our community.
So what this means is if you ARE a locally owned business that sells food…CONTACT ME @ [email protected]
I would like to come to your establishment and record a conversation with you answering 5 questions that you will be given ahead of time (so you can prepare). BASICALLY sharing about your business🤗. I also would like to feature a menu item that is special to you or is the staple of your business. This will not cost the business owners anything and I will most definitely pay for the meal!
Essentially I just want to share how awesome your business is with the community. And hope to grow this so that it hits larger than Lancaster County! 

So if you know of any small businesses please tag them! 🤗

Every vision starts with a dream, so give me grace!

My next steps…calling local Restraurant owners! 💙
“Food is a Love Language “ Tour
If you are a local Restraurant or food truck and would like to be featured:
Please email: [email protected]
What you will get:
Hopeful new customer to try your food
A space to share your inspiration

All you need to do is find a time probably like 1 hr of your time…
To sit down with me at your establishment and answer 5 questions and prepare your favorite dish for me so I get to buy some yummy food and showcase it off!🤗
Tag a small local owned food business in Lancaster so we can get connected!

Just a little update from Grape Leaf🍇
✨We are focusing on Mental Health✨

Dear Community,
We are eternally grafetul for the support you have shown us throughout the years. Thank you for giving this social worker a chance to try something and offer food prepared by our lovely refugee and immigrant neighbors. It was truly an unique experience! As early as Nov. 1st we will no longer be occupying our beautiful little building. We are still working out the kinks and may occasionally be available for catering and a few select summer events. If so, we would rent a community kitchen.
Grape Leaf will be focusing on mental health efforts in the community. We have loved launching into the food world , but are ready for another adventure!
I will keep this page active and post about what we are doing for mental health!
Sending peace and gratitude💜🍇
~Patience~
