1.       Nutrition--Family meals tend to include more fruits and vegetables and fewer fried foods than meals eaten solo. We don’t have a deep fryer at Café Célébré, but we still have lots of yummy dinner options like macaroni and cheese, fruit bowls, beef stroganoff, green leaf salads, roasted vegetables, homemade spaghetti and meatballs, pork tenderloin, spinach salads, Mexican Lasagna, and much more! Moreover, research suggests that eating as a family helps kids of all ages adopt healthful eating habits. It might even keep excess pounds at bay unless you are spending too much time peeking in the dessert case at Café Célébré... but we believe everyone deserves a treat sometimes.

2.       Lower Risk of Negative Behaviors. Adolescents and teens who eat with their families may be less likely to use alcohol, tobacco or other drugs. A study published in the Journal of Adolescent Health found that teens who ate fewer than 3 meals per week with their family were 3.5 times more likely to abuse drugs, 2.5 times more likely to smoke and 1.5 times more likely to drink alcohol than their peers who enjoyed more family meals each week. It may also curb negative behaviors such as binging, purging and excessive or unnecessary dieting.

3.       Communication. Parents and kids alike can benefit from uninterrupted time at the dining table.  It is difficult to simultaneously hold a phone and a fork.  So instead of connecting to the internet, we can use this time to connect to our kids.  Dinner is a great place to communicate daily joys and concerns and spot areas kids need guidance. 

4.       Stress Relief. While pulling together a meal can be stressful, studies show that when parents finally do sit down to the table, they feel less stress. Café Célébré enjoys helping take the stress out of the meal prepping for families. When you order a Family Meal for 4-6 from Café Célébré, it only requires three steps—ordering, picking up (we have curbside service or delivery), and setting dinner on the table in front of your family. Studies show that communication reduces, stress, depression, and anxiety in kids, and what better way to communicate than around the dinner table.

5.       Contentment:  Research from the University of Oxford has revealed that the more often people eat with others, the more likely they are to feel happy and satisfied with their lives. Café Célébré loves to celebrate family, friends, and community around the table—we knew we found it rewarding, but now we have research that validates our beliefs.  Social Eating is proven to be healthier for your mind as well as your body. Be happy! Come eat with us at Café Célébré!  

6.       Cost.  On average, people spend twice as much money on food when they eat outside the home.  When you purchase our 4-6 Family Meal Family at Café Célébré, it is as economical as $7.39 each for 5 servings or $6.15 each for 6 servings.  This meal always includes at least a main dish and a side—but sometimes more.  On those days you don’t want the burger meal deal, try our alternative meal deal!

We offer a standard Family Meal each day in addition to a special Family Meal that changes weekly. 

Additionally, you can always purchase any frozen casseroles we have in stock.  You can purchase casseroles frozen, or we will put it in the oven and have it warm for you when you pick it up--your choice when you order.  Check out our "Casseroles" page to see many of the casseroles we keep in stock.
