A quick weekend update 🌱

We’re sorry for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding. 💚 We’ll be back open Sunday and ready to see you!
Thank you for continuing to support our little plant-based café. 🌱

🌱 One of the things we love most at Foster the Plant Cafe is being able to utilize the incredible fresh ingredients grown right here in the North Country.
We’re so happy to see LoPro open and offering local produce to our community! And while you’re there, don’t miss one of our favorite summer traditions, their pick-your-own flower field. 🌸
Supporting local farms helps all of us thrive. Fresh food, beautiful flowers, and a stronger community... it’s a win all around. 💚

✨ NoCo Glow is Saturday! ✨

📍 10:45 AM – Sean O’Brien will present “Birdseye McPherson’s Last Ride” right here at the café as part of the event.
While you’re here, grab a coffee, smoothie, breakfast, lunch, or one of our fresh grab-and-go options. It’s the perfect place to take a break, cool off, and enjoy some delicious 100% plant-based food while supporting local art and local business.
We can’t wait to see everyone tomorrow! 💚🌱

💚A Small Favor That Makes a BIG Difference
Did you know that one of the best ways to support a small business doesn’t cost a thing?
🌟Leave a review! 🌟
Whether it’s on Google, HappyCow, or Yelp, your honest feedback helps more people discover Foster the Plant.
Today we received a review that honestly left us a little confused. 🤔 The reviewer loved our smoothies and our café, but also mentioned that our portions were tiny and our prices were high. We always appreciate feedback, but without knowing what they ordered, it’s hard for us to learn and improve.

The reality is that every menu item is carefully portioned and priced based on the cost of fresh, high-quality ingredients. In fact, we’ve actually lowered many of our menu prices since last year, even while the cost of food, supplies, wages, and operating a small business has continued to increase. We’ve worked hard to absorb as much of those rising costs as possible because we want healthy, plant-based food to remain accessible to our community. 🌱

If you’ve enjoyed a meal, smoothie, coffee, or simply had a great experience with us, we’d be incredibly grateful if you’d take a minute to leave us a review.
Your words help more than you know. They help new customers find us, they encourage our team, and they help independent businesses like ours continue serving the North Country.

🥣 Dare to Compare.
Not all smoothie bowls are created equal.
At first glance, they might look similar... colorful fruit, delicious toppings, and a refreshing treat. But what’s underneath can make a big difference.
💚 Our bowl:
✔️ 10g protein
✔️ 0g added sugar
✔️ Made with real, whole-food ingredients
❤️ A typical smoothie bowl elsewhere:
• Around 3g protein
• Up to 60g added sugar
Both are delicious. 😋 But if you’re looking for something that keeps you fuller longer, supports your energy, and skips the sugar crash, we’ve got you covered.
At Foster the Plant, we make our bowls with our homemade pea milk 🫛 packed with protein. The frozen fruit is just that, no added sugar, no additives. And the peanut butter is organic, no salt, no sugar, and made by us. Our bowls are delicious and won’t make you feel like you’re giving something up.

As we get closer to celebrating 7 years of Foster the Plant, I’ve found myself thinking about what it really takes to keep a small business going.
The past seven years have brought incredible highs, but they’ve also brought rising food costs, increasing wages, higher utilities, inflation, and countless other expenses that most customers never see. Owning a small business has never been easy, but it continues to get harder.
This past Saturday our vegan inspiration, in Syracuse closed their doors and one of our favorite neighbors 3Bears GF Bakery has announced they’ll be closing soon. Every closure is someone’s dream, years of hard work, and a loss for our community.
If there’s a local business you love, whether it’s Foster the Plant or another favorite, don’t wait until it’s gone to show your support.
💚 Stop in a little more often.
🌱 Purchase a gift card, even if you plan to use it later.
⭐ Leave a positive review on Google or Facebook.
📲 Like, comment on, and share their posts.
🗣️ Tell your friends about the places you enjoy.
These small actions REALLY make a difference. 💚

To everyone who has walked through our doors over the past seven years, thank you. Whether you’ve visited once or once a week or once a day you’ve helped us continue serving our community and sharing delicious plant-based food.
We are incredibly grateful, and we’re excited for what the future holds. Here’s to continuing to grow together. 💚🌱
