Healthy Vegetarian Food - Our Mission and Our Peaceful Environment

The vision of the World Peace Café is to serve nutritious and tasteful vegetarian food in a peaceful, warm, and gracious environment that is reflective of the Buddhist principles of loving kindness and respect for all living beings. The Café uses natural food products and organic locally grown whenever possible, and does not use heat lamps or microwaves, but prepares each meal with care individually. In addition to our excellent vegetarian food, we serve a variety of specialty and organic teas; organic, fair trade, shade-grown coffee; and organic soft drinks. We have some vegan and wheat-free/gluten-free options, as well as superb vegan desserts.

The World Peace Café provides a relaxing, serene environment that is ideal for enjoying a healthy meal, working quietly on a laptop, reading a book, or chatting with friends over tea. It feels like a true sanctuary in the midst of a busy stressful world.

The Heart of Giving - Volunteerism at the Café

The World Peace Café is staffed primarily by volunteers. Some of these volunteers are part of Rameshori Buddhist Center, which owns the World Peace Café. The proceeds of the World Peace Café support Rameshori Center's efforts to provide meditation classes, workshops, and practical Buddhist advice for daily life throughout the southeast. We also have volunteers who are part of the general community who volunteer because they are inspired by our efforts to serve healthy, environmentally friendly vegetarian food, or because they want to support the Buddhist Center's vision for creating peace in the hearts of the individuals of the southeast. You can learn more about a few of our volunteers by reading our Volunteer page.

Volunteer Spotlight: Melanie Boyd Name: Melanie Boyd Age: 33 Occupation: IT Recruiter Favorite World Peace Café Dish: Peace Burger You are one of our most seasoned volunteers, having been around for over a year. What are some changes you've seen in yourself in that time that have been the result of helping at the Cafe? Confidence to do things I never imagined doing. My first few days volunteering, I was serving and absolutely terrified of dropping plates of food. Now I'm back in the kitchen cooking the food! I've become much more prone to say "okay" when someone asks me if I want to do something completely new. How does volunteering help you cope with difficult circumstances in your life and those in society at large, especially given the turbulent times we're all facing these days? When we see people suffering in the world, often we think, "I wish there was something I could DO." So, my "doing" is spending time investing in peace: working on cultivating it in my own heart while giving my time and energy to a place that's giving it out to the community in a tangible way. Plus, it's a heck of a lot of fun: a stress reliever in itself! Since holiday season is just around the corner--which is often a time of reflection--what things are you grateful for? My family, friends, colleagues, community: all the people who inspire me and contribute to my happiness and health. I am especially grateful for opportunities to improve (thank goodness my faults and negative states of mind aren't permanent and unchangeable!). If you could create a new dish at the Cafe, what would it be? A variation on a theme: pimento cheese peace burger. : ) Hey potential volunteers... NKT Practitioners Outside the Atlanta Area: Consider a working holiday this summer at the Cafe. We'll be happy to give you free room and board, plus access to all of Rameshori's classes and events, in exchange for 35 hours of volunteering per seven days.
