Food Matters Market and Cafe

Food Matters Market and Cafe is a grocery store and cafe in Brevard, NC. It’s a natural foods grocery store, so everything leans a bit healthier than a traditional grocery chain. They have a lot of local NC brands available, as well as organic products.

For the cafe part, you can order a sandwich off the menu or a build-your-own sandwich. We recommend their Reuben or the club sandwich! They also have breakfast biscuits and croissants available.

The cafe menu at Food Matters includes a soup of the day, smoothies and grab & go salads. You’ll find classic salads (Chicken Caesar, Greek, etc.) in a cooler by the sandwich area, and a refrigerated section nearby with ready-made items like pasta salad and potato salad.

There’s a great outdoor sitting area if you want to dine there. We like to take it to go and enjoy a picnic at nearby Sycamore Flats when time allows. If it’s not nice out, head upstairs at Food Matters for an indoor meal.
