Speaking of healthy meals, Cape has several restaurants dedicated to serving food that’s good for you and tastes good, too!

If eating more plants is in your list for 2022, try Trio on Broadway – a 100% plant-based restaurant with menu items like “Cauliwings” (cauliflower buffalo wings), “Jacked Up” (BBQ jackfruit sandwich), salads, smoothies and soups. Downtown is home to Spanish Street Farmacy, a farm -to-table shop with an early 1900s drugstore theme featuring a soda fountain, luncheonette, and fresh market. The dishes showcase local small farms, food artisans, and gardeners focused on clean and healthy foods. Inside Fitness Plus, you’ll find  Fresh Healthy Cafe, whose name says it all! From a refreshing smoothie, salad or a hearty meal, it’s all “fresh and healthy.”
