On Saturday, October 2, 2021, The Taste of Lindsay Heights, 1617 W. North Ave., a brand new and innovative carryout café featuring cuisine from local food entrepreneurs opened for business. The cafe is owned and operated by Walnut Way Conservation Corps, a resident-driven nonprofit organization which promotes work, wealth and wellness within the Lindsay Heights community.
Featured entrepreneurs represent a wide array of tastes and styles including Jamaican-inspired ginger beers, fresh-pressed juices, rum cakes, fruit dips, and much more. The café will have a regular menu and feature “pop-ups” for new entrepreneurs to test and promote their products.
Taste of Lindsay Heights Cafe ribbon cutting and grand opening featured food and beverage samples, opportunities to meet food entrepreneurs, and order from the fresh food focused menu. The youngest entrepreneur is Kyric Burt, 11 years old, owner of Kyric’s Lemonade.
