The Grateful Bread: Lincoln is grateful indeed

Grate·ful/ˈgrātfəl/: Feeling or showing an appreciation of kindness; thankful.

Tucked away just south of Nebraska’s state capitol sits a curious, yet fascinating restaurant that Lincoln can truly be grateful for. The Grateful Bread’s menu is just as fun and unique as its décor. Don’t be fooled by the vintage trinkets and toys displayed on the countertops and walls. They don’t play games behind their kitchen doors.

Completely owned and operated by the Flotree family, the Grateful Bread has been providing Lincoln with healthy, satisfying and flavorful vegetarian soups, macaroni dishes and breads–all from Catherine Flotree’s own, original recipes.

Their menu changes daily, but most always offers the (melt-in-your-mouth) cheese scones and French rolls. Their other bakery items include apple butter muffins, cinnamon scones and focaccia. The Moroccan Tomato soup is another regular item on the menu, unless it has already been devoured by its eclectic crowd. Some of my personal favorites are the Santa Fe Chowder, Moroccan Tomato soup and of course the cheese scones! (Below: A lunch date with my sister is a good excuse to try them all)

If you are craving a meal that is as delicious as it is exciting, be grateful– and be bored no more. The Grateful Bread has a unique dish for you.
