Ubuntu Cafe — a globally-inspired cafe hailing from Long Beach — will open a second outpost at Dan Almquist’s incoming Rodeo at River Street marketplace in San Juan Capistrano.
The River Street Marketplace will be an off-shoot of Almquist’s two other food halls, Rodeo 39 in Stanton and Rodeo X in Ontario Ranch. The brand will also soon debut Rodeo 72 in Whittier.
“River Street Marketplace is a 60,000-sqft community destination in the heart of San Juan Capistrano,” explains the concept’s website. “Built in the Los Rios district, the oldest neighborhood in California, the marketplace features elevated agrarian architecture, broken up into smaller buildings designed around a central green.”
The space, which is set to open this fall, will feature modern dining concepts like Fermentation Farm and The Meat Cellar and Steakhouse, curated retail, local art, a butcher, and a full bar and brewery with shared communal tables for outdoor dining.
As for Ubtunu, the cafe offers breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner all featuring farm-to-table fare.
Per the cafe’s website, “most of our food is made on-site using the best organic ingredients, including organic farmers market produce, GMO-free dairy, meats, and poultry.”
Ubuntu signatures include the Breakfast Egg Sandwich, our house-made gluten-free granola, and many more.
The Ubuntu menu changes regularly with the seasons and is based on the culinary team’s whims.
