Quick Pitch

Imagine a South Florida, kid’s, organic cafe where children are embraced, nutritious cuisine is affordable and family and friends are all enjoying a community-like atmosphere.

What is this place you ask... Weanie’s Cafe!

Weanie’s Cafe will be the first, fast casual restaurant in South Florida to serve rich, homemade organic food to both babies and toddlers.

Families will enjoy:

Freshly squeezed fruit and vegetable juices
Coffees and teas
Wraps and paninis
Whole wheat pizza
Salad and fruit bars
Retail Space
And other yummy things such as: non-dairy milk and raw ice cream

Our mission is to create a family-friendly cafe space that promotes healthy living, social bonding and humanitarian efforts where parents, single parents and care-givers can offer a healthier food alternative to their babies and toddlers.

In addition to our casual cafe, you will have the option of joining our Tot Spot Club™. This club boasts a wide variety of benefits such as: food tastings at the cafe, free merchandise as well as event, meal and cooking class discounts.

One of the biggest benefits about the Top Spot Club is the Tot Spot Club’s Delivery Program. This monthly program allows on-the-go parents, living in South Florida, the opportunity to have made-to-order baby and toddler meals delivered directly to their doorstep, office or child’s approved school.

As you can see, Weanie’s Cafe is a big vision. Help bring Weanie’s Cafe to South Florida.

What's with the Stork?

Weanie, the stork, is our Cafe’s mascot and will be an integral part of our brand.

The name “stork” translated in Hebrew is 'Chaciydah' which means love and loyalty. Love and loyalty are two attributes that form the foundation of this brand. Believe it or not, but the stork is a very unique bird.

Here are some interesting facts about storks that may surprise you:

We’ve all heard the cute story where storks would deliver babies to doorsteps… but did you know that storks are actually carrying wounded and elderly birds on their wings during migration season?
When a stork’s offspring leaves the nest, they return years later to care for their elder parents by bringing them food and aiding them in travel!
Storks are monogamous birds. That means they stay with the same partner their entire life!
Oh, and did we mention that our stork, Weanie has some killer dance moves?

Here's a sketch of Weanie getting ready to hit the dance floor!

The Weanie's Team

Faith Sims - President

A Humble Servant to the Vision of Weanie's Cafe

Faith has always been an advocate for nutrition. Even throughout her high school and collegiate years, Faith strove to maintain a proper diet that primarily consisted of: turkey products, vegetables and healthy snacks. While nutrition was a staple in Faith’s life, the actual idea for a kid’s, organic cafe didn’t come to her until she was blessed with her son Jeremiah. When Jeremiah came into the world, Faith made it her mission to give him a well-balanced diet. Unfortunately, this turned out to be a bigger mission than Faith originally expected. Often, she would frequent a variety of health stores throughout South Florida just to ensure she was finding the right food ingredients. This was turning out to be a difficult task because after carefully gathering the ingredients, she then had to spend several hours in the kitchen making the meals. Then one day she had a thought, “What if I could take these meals, package them up and deliver them to other on-the-go parents like me who want to give their children a well-balanced diet?” Besides cooking for Jeremiah, Faith also loved taking him out to eat. Unfortunately, she was often disappointed when she discovered that all the kid’s places in South Florida mainly served non-healthy meals. That’s when it hit her and she thought, “What if I could create a family-friendly space that served kid’s organic meals that would also deliver those same meals, on a weekly basis, to time-constrained parents?” That’s when she realized she had a home-run idea and Weanie’s Cafe was born. Faith, a successful “Mompreneur”, has been in the restaurant/hospitality business for over 10 years, holding trusting positions in some of the country’s most profitable establishments. She has her Bachelor’s Degree in Business Marketing from Wayne State University where she specialized in customer service and consumer behavior. Jeremiah C. Sims is now 3 years old. He’s a contracted model with World of Kids where his major clients are Toys“R”Us, Babies“R”Us, Huggies®, Belk Department Store and Vertbaudet (retail store in France). At 18 months, he began eating homemade, baby and toddler meals from his own kitchen. He loves to learn and to socialize with other children. He shares concern for those that are sad and loves to make others feel loved by random acts of kindness such as: hugs, kisses and sharing.
