Located in the Kadampa Meditation Centre in the leafy suburb of Chorlton, World Peace Cafe is a tranquil and relaxing place to enjoy quality homemade vegetarian food with plenty of gluten-free and vegan options.
Staffed entirely by volunteers, this venue runs on positivity and human kindness. A cafe with a conscience, all profits are generously donated to causes dedicated to world peace and the relaxed and friendly ambiance is boosted by the ethical and spiritual principles the Meditation Centre is founded on.
With high ceilings and exposed brick wall, the cafe is a safe haven where you can unwind on a plush sofa or drop in with friends and experience the rustic menu, sweet and savoury delights prepared fresh.
Over half the menu is vegan and many dishes also offer a gluten-free option, including Nachos to Nibble served with hummus, olives and sweet chilli dips. Ingredients are sourced locally and ethically with many also being organic and fair-trade - an example of how the fundamentals of the Meditation Centre have influenced the daily running of the cafe.
Regarded by many as a sanctuary for the soul, the cafe offers a simple and selective menu where you can enjoy fresh fruit smoothies, vegan spinach dhal and a variety of sandwiches with gluten-free bread, all nutritious and delicious.
Above the cafe is the hub of the Kadampa Meditation Centre, where modern Buddhism and meditation are the focus. Hosting workshops and classes, the centre and cafe work side by side to help cultivate inner peace and happiness.
