A nice plan for an enjoyable lunch: The Community Cafe at Pagosa Senior Center.
I noticed they had Crispy Cod on the menu. I made a reservation with a phone call and showed up about 12:30.
I met my good friend and neighbor Scott Bradford and his parents Danna and Steven Mahaffrey. Turns out this was their first time to have lunch at the Community Cafe.
I met another couple who said it was their first time as well.
All agreed their lunch was very good.
A donation of $10 per person is requested and the cost was recently reduced to only $6 for guests 60 and over. A complete wholesome meal and good company. A nice plan for sure.
Executive Chef Cynthia Sperry welcomed me and introduced me to the Sous Chef Rebecca Kyser. I was impressed with their friendly, caring attitude and the kitchen organized and already spotless from the preparation of today’s meal.
Staff from Archuleta Seniors Inc organize several volunteers into a dedicated team to provide nutritious and delicious meals.
Besides hosting 25 guests in the Cafe, 35 customers picked up meals from their cars in the drive-thru.
That day, 11 lunches were delivered in downtown, and 18 were delivered out of town, through the ‘Meals on Wheels’ program.
My lunch hit the spot and I intend to enjoy many more lunches at Community Cafe.
