Eat Consciously. Live Vibrantly.
VIBRANT FOOD COMMUNITY CAFE
Laney & Lu is a vibrant food community cafe located in historic downtown Exeter, NH. Our menu includes small-batch locally-roasted organic fair trade coffee, herbalist-designed organic herbal teas, crafted functional beverages, sublime smoothies and smoothie bowls, hearty rice & quinoa bowls, bright & happy salads, and finally! good-snacks-on the go.
At Laney & Lu, we believe food can serve a far greater purpose than to simply fill our stomachs. The 'right' food nourishes our souls, builds community, and connects us with the earth. We work with about over a dozen farmers and merchants throughout New England to source locally whenever possible and positively impact local eco-systems. We utilize compostable to-go packaging with a commitment to being 'zero waste' to the customer. We believe Laney & Lu can make a meaningful and sustainable difference.
The café’s design is bright, clean and inviting with reclaimed wood shelves and a repurposed community bench blended with a large hand drawn chalk board, minimalist industrial chairs, and daily inspirational messages hand-written on a roll of brown kraft paper. It's a perfect fusion of old and new, comfort and chic.
From the seed of creation of the café, we have been mindful and true to our purpose and motto, and deliberate in sharing that lifestyle to create the 'Live Vibrantly Movement'.

Jodi here with my last post of my Laney & Lu Blends with Benefits takeover! . . I am getting ready to sign off but if you missed it, scroll to my last post to get my Spring Into Summer Strawberry Rhubarb Smoothie recipe! . . This whole rhubarb plant issue has got my brain spinning. I would love to find a way to post on a community board of some sort if you have extra organic produce to share and work a swap with someone else that has extra of something that you may need. I think I’m going to have a whole lot of apples and plums this year but would love some blueberries. Instagram, email, blog, those pretty much max out my technological capacity! Would love to hear any ideas you have for the “craigslist” of organic produce idea! You can find me over at @wellisswell Thanks for following along on my takeover today! . . . #laneyandlu #eatconsciously #livevibrantly #LandLtakeover #blendswithbenefits #produceswap #communityproduceboard #growyourfood #eatlocal

Hey everybody! Jodi here • @wellisswell • taking over the L&L account today as a guest chef to share my Spring Into Summer Strawberry Rhubarb smoothie! . . Recipe: In blender, blend : 8oz coconut milk 1 cup frozen strawberries 1 cup rhubarb (ours is from @willowpondfarm_sdymca ) 1/4 avocado 3 pitted dates 🍓🌱....yum! . If rhubarb isn’t one of your perennial vegetables (you might want to plant some this year), your local farmer’s market and grocery stores carry some at this time of year. . . Rhubarb is very tart but when combined with sweet strawberries and the natural sugar of the dates, you’ll think you’re drinking the classic New England strawberry rhubarb pie. This smoothie is great at any time of day! It is packed with fiber that keeps you feeling full for a longer period of time and aids in digestion. The rhubarb, dates and strawberries combine to give you a great dose of vitamin C, vitamin K, potassium, manganese and magnesium. Avocado and coconut milk are great sources of healthy, plant based, brain boosting fats. Strawberries are chock full of antioxidants which help reduce inflammation, support heart health and aid in short term memory function. Stop in and give it a try! . . . .#laneyandlu #eatconsciously #LandLtakeover #blendswithbenefits #livevibrantly #smoothie #smoothiebowl #yum #instafood #instagood #fresh #local #healthy #healthyfood #delicious #smoothielife #smoothielover #smoothiesofig #smoothiebowllove #smoothiebowl #smoothiebowlrecipe #recipe

Meet Jodi- our guest chef next week! . In her various roles in clinical settings, Jodi was continually baffled at the number of medications given to patients as an immediate fix for things that lifestyle, diet, or stress management modifications could address if the patient were educated and had a desire to harness their own healing powers . This led her to pursue a holistic health certification from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition. 🌱Jodi believes in the powers of whole food, nurturing self care, movement, living a life in balance, and mindfulness to fuel, protect, and heal the mind and body. She feels lucky to be able to share these powerful tools with her family, friends and clients. 🍓On Monday, Jodi will be sharing a seasonal Strawberry Rhubarb smoothie- yum!! #LandLtakeover #blendswithbenefits #wellisswell #drinkyourhealth

Friends, say hi to Kim !👋🏼 We spotted Kim's sweet adventure rig parked outside of the café, so of course we had to climb aboard and see what it was all about. Kim spruced up a school bus and within a few months it was her new house on wheels. This past year Kim has traveled all across the country in her bus. She just made her way back to the Seacoast and is saving up for another adventure. • We love to hear people's stories about chasing their dreams and how they #livevibrantly • Please give Kim some love and follow her adventures over at @kimsbigadventure 💛
