JACKSONVILLE, Fla. There s a new mural in Jacksonville s Historic St. Nicholas neighborhood that showcases the heritage of the area.

It s been going fantastic. Everybody is loving the food … It s been very positive and encouraging. Everybody seems very happy, Jenna Bardroff, cafe manager, told the Times-Union at the end of their first day on Monday.
Located at 2624 Atlantic Blvd., the cafe joins the ranks of Jacksonville s relatively few all-vegan restaurants, such as Murray Hillbilly, Sweet Theory Baking Co., Grenville Kitchen and KraVegan food truck. Our mission is to provide really healthy amazing food at an affordable cost since it can be difficult to find some vegan options in restaurants that typically are affordable, she said, noting they want to be accessible to everyone.
