MENU🥟
Sat. 5/16 10am-3pm
Whistlestop Cafe

I have been elated (and surprised!) at how adventurous everyone's taste buds are at the WhistleStop Cafe.🥰 Visitors are still requesting the Miso Fettuccine & Kimchi Tacos from a few weeks ago (yes I will bring them back very soon). You know what that means it will get more weird & creative.🙌

When ingredients are vibrant & colorful, fresh (from the Arb gardens), fermented (gut+brain health) with warming, cooling & healing spices from around the world, it will always taste 💯.

May's menu is inspired by AAPI Heritage Month. Also, Happy Graduation to all the lifelong learners!🎓🌳

The Weeping Willows
5/13/26

A wave of immense love, gratitude, purpose & joy just came over me.💚 I find myself smiling again, a laugh here & there. The Weeping Willows are still present, especially before bedtime, during dreamland, waking up & unexpected moments throughout the day. A song is usually the culprit. Love with no place to go & nowhere to hide.🙏 But I am finding a beautiful place to go...solace amongst the trees, as they listen to my woes, the peaceful gardens, Robin, Annie, the Arb volunteers...a place where my heart won't harden. Thank you sew much for visiting the Barlett Arboretum , dining at the WhistleStop Cafe, driving a little ways to experience untouched beauty, peace & most importantly, humanity.💚 We hope you feel loved & hugged, by the flowers, peeps, leaves & trees, by the time you leave.🫶 We hope to see you again each weekend!🌲

A Living Museum🌲🌷🌳

Where birds sing freely
where silence, sounds of nature
are all we need
Where our wary hearts plead
to just be
Where volunteers eat for free
No fee??? You may ask
For stewards of the Earth
and all their tasks
"Down here, we do things
a 'lil differently."
A Pay-It-Forward wall
For a struggling family
A young lad, and their befalls
Finding their way, after all
Because love, nurture, nature, healing & care
exists each day, in this fresh air
in so many possible ways
"Down here, we do things
a 'lil differently."
This living museum
and the WhistleStop Cafe
is only a heartbeat away.💚🐦🕊🦉🐦‍⬛💚
