Healthy Vegetarian Food - Our Mission and Our Peaceful Environment

The vision of the World Peace Café is to serve nutritious and tasteful vegetarian food in a peaceful, warm, and gracious environment that is reflective of the Buddhist principles of loving kindness and respect for all living beings. The Café uses natural food products and organic locally grown whenever possible, and does not use heat lamps or microwaves, but prepares each meal with care individually. In addition to our excellent vegetarian food, we serve a variety of specialty and organic teas; organic, fair trade, shade-grown coffee; and organic soft drinks. We have some vegan and wheat-free/gluten-free options, as well as superb vegan desserts.

The World Peace Café provides a relaxing, serene environment that is ideal for enjoying a healthy meal, working quietly on a laptop, reading a book, or chatting with friends over tea. It feels like a true sanctuary in the midst of a busy stressful world.

The Heart of Giving - Volunteerism at the Café

The World Peace Café is staffed primarily by volunteers. Some of these volunteers are part of Rameshori Buddhist Center, which owns the World Peace Café. The proceeds of the World Peace Café support Rameshori Center's efforts to provide meditation classes, workshops, and practical Buddhist advice for daily life throughout the southeast. We also have volunteers who are part of the general community who volunteer because they are inspired by our efforts to serve healthy, environmentally friendly vegetarian food, or because they want to support the Buddhist Center's vision for creating peace in the hearts of the individuals of the southeast. You can learn more about a few of our volunteers by reading our Volunteer page.

Volunteer Spotlight: Tony Myers Name: Tony Myers Age:43 Occupation: Professional volunteer Favorite World Peace Café Dish: All the vegan ones! You literally just moved to Atlanta and spent your first month here volunteering full-time at the Cafe before you start school at Life University in October. What was your experience like? I moved to Atlanta on September 2 and hit the ground running the next day with volunteering at the World Peace Cafe. The cafe and its staff were awesome, a wonderful community with a strong desire to be of service to others. I had just left a 4 month volunteer stay at the Himalayan Institute and wanted to continue to be involved in a life of service. It not only allowed me to be a part of the change in the world I desire, but also to break into the area by getting to know the many like minded folks working and dining at the cafe. It is always heartening to see so many people giving so freely of their time supporting positive change in the world. How do you think volunteering at the Cafe fits into a health-conscious lifestyle? Every choice we make in life is an opportunity to create the life we want - our life's work, our interaction with others and the environment and life, how we feel about ourselves, and certainly what we feed our bodies. Every thought and choice we make creates a ripple through ourselves and the world. So, when I think of what constitutes a healthy lifestyle, I not only see nutrition and thus the great vegetarian food at the WPC, but also other aspects of the WPC experience that support a healthy lifestyle. It's the meditation gatherings every Thursday nights. Its the the constant sharing of ideas and service that goes on there. Its the micro economy that is the WPC, a glimpse into one possible future - a community integrated business that is environmentally, nutritionally, and spiritually conscious engaging with all levels of the community. One that understands the energy exchange that is money, but sees a much, much bigger picture. If you could create a new dish at the Cafe what would it be? So much food, so little time! My likes go all over the place but tend to gravitate toward raw foods due to their many nutritional benefits. I would go with blended drinks that really serve as meals that can fit anyone's tastes or nutritional needs. Sky's the limit on how much nutrition one can pack into one of these raw food experiences. Hey potential volunteers... NKT Practitioners Outside the Atlanta Area: Consider a working holiday this summer at the Cafe. We'll be happy to give you free room and board, plus access to all of Rameshori's classes and events, in exchange for 35 hours of volunteering per seven days.
