Help Save Plant Bae Café & Support Our Non-Profit Granny’s Baeby!
Hi, I’m Dr. Que, owner of Plant Bae, a plant-based restaurant in Montgomery, Alabama, and founder of Granny’s Baeby, a non-profit that provides plant-based meals to the elderly and families in need. For years, Plant Bae has been a beloved part of the community, promoting healthy, compassionate eating. Unfortunately, we’re facing challenges that could force us to close. With your support, we’re excited to transition into the next chapter—Plant Bae Café.
The Challenge:
Over the past year, we’ve faced multiple challenges that have put Plant Bae at risk. Last year, we experienced a burglary, during which costly equipment was damaged. More recently, we’ve been hit by employee theft just this past Saturday, along with vandalism in the previous months and a city requirement to upgrade expensive fire equipment. On top of that, being located in an older building has led to higher utility costs, adding to our financial strain.
In response to these setbacks, we’re committed to improving operations and food quality with a new general manager and transitioning to Plant Bae Café to ensure the long-term success of our business.
What’s Next:
We’re transitioning to Plant Bae Café, where we’ll offer exciting new menu items that focus on using local produce and providing gluten-free and air-fried options. Some new items include:
Air-Fried Cauliflower Wings: Crispy, gluten-free, and air-fried for a healthy twist on a favorite dish.
Black Bean Falafel Wrap (Low-Carb): Wrapped in a low-carb, fiber-packed wrap, this hearty option is perfect for those seeking a satisfying but lighter meal.
Roasted Vegetable Panini: Showcasing seasonal, locally sourced vegetables, this panini offers fresh flavors with a healthy approach.
At the same time, we’re keeping beloved classics like the Philly Cheese Bae, Bae Burger, and our Vegan Mac and Cheese, a customer favorite. We’re also creating office space at the café for Granny’s Baeby, ensuring that we can continue supporting the community.
Granny’s Baeby Impact:
Over the past year, Granny’s Baeby has:
Fed hundreds of children and elderly citizens through plant-based meal programs.
Provided plant-based education to help families make healthier, sustainable choices.
Hosted meetings for numerous non-profits at no cost, supporting them in achieving their missions.
The funds raised will help Plant Bae Café thrive while continuing to grow Granny’s Baeby’s impact.
Our Goal:
We are raising $30,000 to:
Cover immediate costs to keep Plant Bae open while transitioning to Plant Bae Café.
Improve food quality with the help of a new general manager.
Create office space at the café for Granny’s Baeby staff to continue their mission.
How Your Contribution Helps:
Your donation will go toward:
Covering urgent financial needs like replacing equipment and ordering a new POS system.
Supporting the transition to Plant Bae Café with new and exciting menu offerings.
Ensuring that Granny’s Baeby continues its essential work of feeding and educating the community.
