cafe of the day

today, my friend jill and i caught up over an early dinner at our favorite place to eat together, which is feelgoods cafe. jill moved to north carolina after attending school there and we haven't seen each other (or eaten here) in over two years. the entire experience was fantastic, as friends and food usually are.

what i've always loved about feelgoods is this "create your own" menu. you get to choose the whole grain, protein, veggies and all natural dressings to make your own one of a kind meal. they offer plenty of specialty items on a giant menu board, but i've always taken this route because it's way more fun.
something new that they've added since my last visit is this full blown veggie burger bar. i photographed four flavors, but there were probably fourteen. you can buy them in bulk as they freeze really well. my create your own order included a standard veggie burger, but the really nice girl at the counter let me choose one of these! AND she also gave me 15% off because i "liked" their facebook page as i was paying. they have a laptop and everything set up so you can do this. i'm telling you, this place is great.
if you're not already sold, here's my meal. i wish i could eat this three times a day, every day.
what i got: whole grain panini, pumpkin chickpea burger (oh my god), spring greens, artichoke, avocado & goat cheese with vidalia onion and cilantro vinaigrette. hands down absolutely 100% incredible. i'm already craving another one.

so all in all i had a really great dinner with my friend jill. we caught up on a bunch of stuff and it was really nice to see her. we made plans to meet again the next time i visit my parents in north carolina and i'm really pumped on that.

feelgoods is located on 412 north country road
saint james, NY 11780
