Stopped for lunch after seeing the "organic food"sign and was not disappointed. Just a small 2-3 table eating area in a natural food store but the food is delicious and nutritious. We both ordered the soup and salad combination and left feeling delightfully satisfied and only wished we would be staying in the area for another visit. A must stop... More

I ate at the Cafe 3 times while in Marathon, the food is fantastic! Try the Pad Thai wrap, I had it twice and the strawberry banana smoothie is also awesome. Great store with lots of interesting things and they have a great selection of organic produce as well as cold prepared items to go. You also must try the... More

Delicious juices and vegan, gluten-free food. I could develop a serious addiction to the Pad Thai wrap! Loved coming here for lunch when we were in Marathon last year, and loved it even more this year with the organic fruit and vegetables they now have on sale on Mondays.

If you are looking for organic food this is the place. It is also a great little book store. Next door is a nice clothing store for women.

Very difficult to find that combination! We are staying in Marathon for a month and found this place in a shopping center next to a vacation rental office. Very unexpected - organic cafe and market with interesting offerings and goodies. The Thai wrap, sun burger and soups are all great, haven't had any disappointments.

I loved this place. It was delicious and the price was right. The staff was very helpful and informative as to what was one the menu. We had a delicious Thai soup and a non tuna wrap. Dessert was raw key lime pie and raw pumpkin pie. Both out of this world. I also had a chocolate chip muffin for... More

It was difficult to find, since the words 'Food for thought' was written in small letters (certainly cannot read it from the highway, although we were looking for it - so please mark it more clearly for those who are visiting from out of town). I had the 'not-Tuna' wrap, and a beet-carrot juice, and they were both very tasty... More

We're glad you found us & enjoyed your lunch. We do have a large food truck out front by the road with Organic Cafe on it to let folks know we're in the Plaza, no other signs are allowed on the marquis of our plaza, but you're right, we do need a sign over or store, we're working on it!... More

just had a wonderful phone conversation with the owner about GF needs for our trip to Marathon over Thanksgiving. Her willingness to help and get the things we need to make our trip not a burden was such a delight. We look forward to shopping there next week and meeting new friends. North Carolina Smith's

Driving Overseas Highway south toward Key West, I saw a van with a sign reading "Organic Food." This juice bar/bookstore/cafe/health food shop/herb store makes the most of its location, a strip mall. I am a fan of the Heavenly Hummus Wrap, and enjoyed the apple-pear cobbler on my first visit. Since we are staying in Marathon, I foresee multiple visits... More
