World Peace Café Glen Spey — Restaurant in Town of Lumberland

🌿 Best Sunday Plan Ever – Nature, Peace & the Perfect Latte ☕️ If you’re anywhere near the Kadampa Buddhist Temple, make World Peace Café part of your Sunday ritual—you won’t regret it.

Start your morning with a peaceful walk through the many paths around the temple grounds—whether it’s a short 5-minute walk or a 40-minute nature hike, the surroundings are absolutely breathtaking and grounding.

From 2 to 3 PM every Sunday, there’s a World Peace Meditation Free and open to all. It’s the kind of reset your soul didn’t know it needed.

Then, treat yourself at World Peace Cafe—a peaceful café nestled in front of a serene pond. Whether you sit inside or outside, the atmosphere is calming, and the drinks are phenomenal. My favorites are the chai latte, the long fog, and hands down the best turmeric latte. Pro Tip: You can have them all cold.

Make sure you don’t leave without trying the vegan sweet potato brownie 🤤 and the World Peace muffin—both are vegan and absolutely delicious. There’s also Wi-Fi if you need to catch up on anything while soaking in the views.

Come once, and you’ll want to return...

On Sundays, after Prayers for World Peace, they typically have scones, muffins, cookies, and the like. During busy festivals, they typically also have a variety of cake or pie slices, including my favorite pistachio ricotta cheesecake or their homemade carrot cake. It's open to the public during any public event day, or is home to many Kadampa practitioners relaxing and conversing when not in a...

I love the World Peace Cafe! It is a volunteer-run coffee shop that offers really good locally roasted espresso drinks, teas and baked goods (my favorite is the vegan peanut butter cookies!). Its located in the Temple at Kadampa Meditation Center New York, so you have either a view of the amazing Buddhist shrine and artwork or the view overlooking the pond, gardens and woodlands. The cafe is a great place to stop in before or after a class, or after going on a walk on one of the center's trails....
