BiG Cafe and Shop- Brookwood in Georgetown — Restaurant in Georgetown

This was an amazing find in the heart and soul of Georgetown!❤️ The energy, warmness and top notch customer service made us feel like family. The grilled cheese was exceptional! Which included delicious havarti, mozzarella, white American and pesto. It was not greasy like most other places and was perfectly melted when it arrived to our table. Also the tomato basil soup was the best that I’ve ever had. So many flavors going on at once! Compliments to the team! We tried the vanilla latte and mocha ☕️ and they were a unique balance of flavors while not over or under sweetened.

Update: March 2023 - added photos of our delicious brunch. Did let the cafe manager know a request - they use to carry a delicious warm quinoa with chicken and veggies. The quinoa on their menu is new and served cold with veggies and a peanut sauce. I was not a fan but they kindly took it back. The menu does not mention if the quinoa is cold or warm. Just a note of caution. We love BIG cafe and will continue to support this amazing place!

Make sure to checkout the awesome gift shop next door! Thank you to Emma V. who made the beautiful lotus flower that we purchased! Which includes many beautiful items, delicious fudge and hand soaps made exclusively by citizens of BiG! Our favorite hand soap was the peach bellini. Don’t forget to get your name on the list to attend a tour of the amazing grace building, which is available for rental of groups 100 or less people. The tour highlights vocational programs and BiG culture. Get out and support this local gem!! 🌻🐝☀️ adding new pics love the Wednesday special egg salad is amazing! Love chicken salad too...

It seemed like a decent place and they have a very special mission of helping those with disabilities. I appreciate that aspect though don't fully know the extent of what they do. I simply waltzed in as a paying customer to dine. My experience was unexpected and awful. A very simple, nice gesture with one staff member was either grossly misstated or a blatant lie relayed to their employer. I don't know if that individual suffers from a mental disability or if there was genuine dislike or hatred or something else, in either case, whatever was communicated caused me to be unnecessarily harassed. It was an awkward experience I've never encountered before.

In addition to this, I paid gratuity upfront though didn't receive much service. I had to get up multiple times for things like coffee creamer; to re-request the orange juice I paid for that wasn't delivered; to send back the wrong soup (I have an allergy to) that was sent to me, etc. And the place was not busy at all during this time. Overall, the correct soup was good, the service wasn't there, and the food was 'okay' but not good enough for me to return.

Also, if you have a no smoking policy for your entire campus, to include the parking lot, I suggest (respectfully) posting at least a handful of signs about the areas you don't want folks to smoke in. I'm certain any and all, myself included, would respect this policy if it was properly relayed akin to what many other...

We haven't been here since before COVID but here have been some great improvements! The greenhouse has been turned into another cute eating area + shop, the product selection inside the main shop is wonderful with many different options for men, women, & kids, the quaint cafe has delicious coffee options and fresh farm to table meals, and there is now a turfed outside eating area with umbrella shade in front of the main shop and another area in front of the greenhouse. Obviously I love the mission and support they have for the disABLED; the beautiful works of art for sale created by different individuals, the job opportunities provided there, as well as the programs funded and charity. It's beautiful to see adults with special needs thriving and recognized through this beautiful establishment.

In the cafe we ordered food to the greenhouse since it was pretty busy and no seats in the cafe (1:45 on a Monday). The Avocado Toast #2 (with bacon and sunny-side-up egg) was delicious, and the kids quesadillas were pretty good, both with fruit on the side. Even though it was busy they got the food out to us in a decent time.

The staff were all very friendly and patient (especially with my 2 & 5 year old) and seemed to enjoy being there. The service was also great and the place was clean.

Lovely place, we will...
