Moringa Tree’s new downtown Elkhart location fits more customers and features an event space and massage therapy room upstairs. During this photo shoot, regular customer Jill Kelley came in to pick up her lunch and said, “This is my safe place. When I’m having a bad day, I come here for lunch.”
Chef/owner Jenny Weaver checks the customer order slip as she prepares an organic lunch. Weaver knows just about every repeat customer by name and likes to chat with people when the crowd dies down and there's time for her to get out of the kitchen.
The mung bean noodle pad Thai with coconut peanut sauce is a favorite among regulars. Right now Moringa Tree serves this dish as a feature, but Weaver says they’re considering putting it on the regular menu full time.
