For 25 years, Main Line chef Meridith McLoughlin has elevated the local food scene through varying degrees of fresh, flavor-packed and from-scratch cuisine. From debuting a handful restaurants (Meridith’s, Aneu, Binni & Flynn’s) to delivering spot-on seasonal dishes to your door and for events (Aneu Catering), this Berwyn native continues to expand her brand, this time with the new Fresh Ideas Market.
The breakfast, lunch and take-out cafe comes to Lancaster Avenue as a walk-in branch of McLoughlin’s Aneu Catering. Specializing in a organic, locally-sourced, seasonal menu, grab a seat to devour bright salads like mango and chicken, vegan broccoli slaw, black bean and corn salsa, or stop in to collect a meal for your office or snacks for your upcoming soiree. Daily, the chef and her team stock their cafe’s case with an eclectic mix of vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and sustainable meat-based options that will send any food lover’s heart aflutter. Even better, there are made-to-order selections like breakfast sandwiches, waffles, frittatas, wraps and paninis.
