We love to make great food. We create our own salad dressings & sauces, candy almonds, cut fresh vegetables by hand for soups & salads, whip fresh cream and bake fresh cookies.
We are cooking for you!
Café Blackadder is focused on providing high-quality, fresh and local food. We buy from Buckeye Acres Farm and other local producers & Julie has her own garden! (Some of the herbs are growing in the window of the cafe`!) And now, locally made, wood fire baked artisan bread by Carl Schick!Please see our menu for more information on our lovely homemade soups, fresh & tasty salads & sandwiches, appetizing starters, and divine desserts. (We do add seasonal items and new favorites, so our menu will change from time to time)
We serve a variety of beverages including freshly squeezed lemonade and brewed hot pots & iced teas using quality loose teas.
We delight in our customers' satisfaction. Let us know what you need & we'll do everything we can to exceed your expectations.
Our atmosphere is relaxed and we strive to provide friendly, expert service. Our food does take time to prepare as we make our dishes from scratch, so please call in your order @ 747-2382 or let us know if you're in a hurry!
We love to-go orders too!
Our to-go bags are made of recycled materials!
*Cafe' Blackadder is a GREEN cafe! From our renovation to our daily operation, we are devoted to the best possible practices we can achieve.
- We recycle cardboard, plastic, tin & aluminum cans, *cell phones and ink cartridges
- We source as much fruit, vegetables, herbs and spices as we can from our own garden & local farms such as Buckeye Acres.
- We use cloth reusable shopping bags
- Our to-go orders are bagged in 100% post-consumer waste bags!
- We grow some of our own herbs & spices (some right in the window of the shop!) & get fresh produce from Buckeye Acres farm & the farmer's market.
- We use cloth dinner napkins
- We are using CFL bulbs
- We compost our food waste & share it with local farmers
- Our paper towels in the restroom are made of recycled paper products
- We use energy conserving appliances, some made locally in St. Louis, MO
- Our renovation involved re-purposing as much wood and other items as possible from the previous business
- We have a new, energy efficient furnace and A/C unit
- Our tables & chairs are re-purposed
*The cell phones & ink cartridges are in support of the not-for-profit Blind Boone Park Renovation Group (through Warrensburg Parks for the 21st Century)
- We are adding a solar array to our roof, making us the first commercial business in downtown Warrensburg ( and the 2nd in town) to GO SOLAR!
We've purchased 4 panels (the photo is Mike loading them onto the roof), Mike has filed the paperwork with the city and with KCP&L. As soon as we get the go-ahead, Mike will install the system. As money allows, we'll add more panels until we have all we need! Yippee!
