Sprout House, a plant-based café, opened this week on Frederick Douglass Boulevard in Harlem. The café offers a menu of vegan sandwiches, salads, and smoothies, with an emphasis on local and organic ingredients.

Owners Amanda Lee and Jordan Smith aim to provide affordable, healthy options to the neighborhood’s diverse community. The interior design is minimal, with sustainable materials and plenty of natural light.

Sprout House enters a growing market for vegan and health-conscious dining in Harlem. It competes with established spots but hopes to carve out a niche through community engagement and seasonal menu rotations.
