Did you know that Cafe Gertrude owner Johnny named the cafe after his dog?

When Cafe Gertrude took over the former Vita Cafe space, we didn’t get a chance to host a grand opening party. Now, we’re finally ready for a party! Join us on Saturday, March 21 from noon to 4pm for our spring market, featuring One Tail at a Time, Bad Portraits by Karlee, Canis Major, Sweet Deliah Farm, and v-dog. Art by Eliza Williams is currently on display as part of the Cafe Gertrude artist series.

10% of food and drink sales from the entire weekend (March 21-22, 8am-8pm both days) will benefit our furry friends at One Tail at a Time.

Free to attend. Food and drinks available for purchase. Kids menu available. Cafe Gertrude's menu is vegan-friendly, and all the new spring dishes are vegan. This event is the perfect opportunity to show them there's a strong demand for vegan options.
