Good coffee, honest food, and a seat that invites you to stay a little longer. Grown from the garden, served with care, shared at a table that has room for everyone.
The Sanctuary Cafe is not just where you eat — it is part of how you heal. Nourishment, in our view, is not separate from rest, prayer, or creativity. It is woven into all of them.
The Cafe operates from House 3, with indoor seating and an outdoor garden table in warm weather. Wherever possible, ingredients come directly from the Sanctuary's own food forests — herbs, vegetables, and seasonal produce grown steps away from your cup.
Locals are welcome. Day visitors are welcome. The Cafe is one of the places where the Sanctuary opens to the wider island community, and we are grateful for that exchange.
Espresso, filter, and seasonal drinks — made with intention and served without rush. Open daily when the Cafe is running. Sit in, take away, or carry it to the garden.
A nourishing start for overnight guests — community table style, with warm food, garden produce, and the quiet pleasure of a morning that belongs to you.
Friday and Saturday evenings: a communal dinner with a seasonal menu, candlelight, and a pace that the island naturally insists upon. Pre-booking recommended.
House-made pastries, seasonal bakes, and light snacks throughout the day. Often featuring herbs and fruit from the food forest.
Seasonal dishes and drinks created from whatever the land is offering this week — a living menu that changes as the garden grows.
The Cafe provides all meals for retreat participants — nourishing, community-style, and integral to the overall healing experience.
Every Sanctuary property has a growing food forest — and the cafe is one of its primary beneficiaries. Herbs for infusions, vegetables for seasonal dishes, fruit for baking, and flowers for the table: the Cafe changes with the seasons because the land does too.
When you eat here, you are eating something that was grown in this soil, tended by this community, and offered with genuine care. That lineage matters to us — and we think you can taste it.
