Today, we continue to fulfill the needs and desires of our neighbors with a menu of ingredient-inspired, prepared-to-order food. When you visit our cafe, you’ll see real kitchens in place of assembly lines. You’ll hear the chopping of over 40 types of fresh herbs, fruits and vegetables, and the sizzle of our real panini grill. You’ll see the stove’s open flame and feel the warmth from our ovens working all day long. They’re the traditions we established years ago that we still passionately follow today.”
Electric vehicles eliminate tailpipe emissions, thus having a positive impact on air quality. This one car will reduce unleaded 87-octane gasoline use by as much as 350 gallons a year.

Environmental Stewardship & Sustainability is a key strategic outcome area in the City’s newly adopted Strategic Plan. Gaithersburg’s proactive approach includes climate change mitigation & adaptation, increasing energy efficiency, reducing energy consumption from nonrenewable energy sources, promoting healthy watersheds, and enhancing our urban forest.

The replacement of gas-powered vehicles with EVs allows the City to earn valuable points towards higher certification.
