FRIENDSHIP CAFE – American
A Mediterranean fast-casual room on East Las Olas with its mission built into the kitchen: it trains and employs adults with autism, Down syndrome and other intellectual and developmental disabilities. The food stands on its own — falafel platters and pitas, hummus platters, shawarma including a vegetarian version, schnitzel, a long bench of fresh salads, plus coffee and pastries. Diners consistently describe a genuinely welcoming room and staff who seem glad you walked in. Good falafel, and a better reason to order it.
