Future Green’s Cafe Tarragon

Bay View eco-retailer Future Green, 2352 S. Kinnickinnic Ave., will soon add a small café to its premises.

Café Tarragon was expected to open around Thanksgiving in the store’s old building supply area in the back of the first floor. Café Tarragon will offer gluten-free, vegan, veggie, raw, and natural organic food selections-including baked goods like muffins, scones, cookies, pies, and pastries. Processed ingredients will not be used and most items will be made from scratch.

“This will be a wholesome café that is both refreshing for you palate and your soul,” according to Future Green’s Swee Sim, who owns the store with his wife Lisa Sim. There will be seating areas and takeout for those on the go.

Scraps from the café will go to the Sims’ vermicomposting efforts and the compost will go to their rooftop garden next spring.

Future Green will still sell American Pride paint, but tinting will take place in the basement. Recycled countertops and cork flooring will still be available for sale.
