Dinner added at Om Cafe (On Ludlow)

Om Cafe, in the Aquarius Star shop on Ludlow Avenue in Clifton, is expanding its menu rather substantially.

Some of the seating at Om Cafe

It's a spacious, comfy place that's been mostly a coffee shop, although they have served sandwiches, salads and pastries, too. But now they're going to start serving dinner. We're pretty happy about it, since the options for dinner here in our neighborhood are rather tired and limited, with the exception of course of La Poste, which is more upscale than we can quite afford on a weekly basis.
We'll see how Om does; here is the announcement they put on Next Door Clifton, a website for the neighborhood:

Hello Fellow Neighbors, We would like to inform you that we will begin our NEW Dinner Menu on Monday Dec. 16. Items on our menu: Aztec Lasagna, Red Beans & Rice, Turkey Melt Open Face Sandwich and Pesto Prima Vera. Our food is local, organic and we grow much of our own food in our garden located in the Enright Ridge Urban Eco Village. For now you are welcome to bring a bottle of wine to our establishment and we will cork it for you for a small fee. However, please be aware that a liquor license is pending for us and we will be serving amazing wine, craft beer and so much more. Stayed tuned to the Om Difference!  Another interior view, Om Cafe

Om Cafe --newest hangout for lunch and coffee on Ludlow

In my 'hood -- Gaslight Clifton--there are several places for coffee and pastry, each with a distinct ambiance. Sitwell's has the boho feel of a throwback to the 1960s, Bruegger's Bagels fronts Clifton Avenue and Burnet Woods, Brutopia is a bit more serious about their coffee drinks and has a hole-in-the-wall, away from it all feel.
The most recent addition is Om Cafe, across the street and a few doors down from Sitwell's--or across from the fantastic Esquire Theater, if you're not a Cliftonite.
Here you can browse books about New Age spirituality* and chow down not only on pastries but also on healthy salads and sandwiches. *Om Cafe is within the Aquarius Star store.
