Common Roots Cafe Year in Numbers 2011
Where data and good food meet
Many restaurants are putting more and more effort into educating customers about the sources of the ingredients that go into the food they serve, but few go as far as Common Roots Cafe in Minneapolis. Owner Danny Schwartzman tracks and categorizes every purchase to show the community where their food comes from and be transparent in their mission to operate in a sustainable way.
It was this data, including the percentage of ingredients that were local (sourced within 250 miles), organic or fair-trade, and inspired a yearly infographic to tell the story of Common Roots Cafe and the work they do.
