Welcome to a space where everyone can savor plant-based meals without worry. At Aurora's, we transform classic café fare into delicious vegan treats, catering to diverse dietary needs.

Aurora's Café and Gifts began with a vision to create a welcoming space for everyone. We wanted to offer a menu that respects various dietary choices and restrictions, enabling more people to indulge in a safe, enjoyable dining experience. Every dish and drink is thoughtfully crafted to be vegan, with gluten-free and allergy-conscious options available. Beyond the food, our café is a hub for local artisans. From handmade gemstone jewelry to unique gifts, we celebrate craftsmanship and community ties. Our commitment to sustainability and inclusivity drives us to continuously innovate while maintaining the familiar comforts of a beloved café. Whether you're here for a meal, a drink, or to shop for local treasures, Aurora’s offers a unique blend of culinary creativity and community spirit.

Mike and Stephanie Venezia opened Aurora's Café in 2022 because they noticed so many places couldn't serve people who had a variety of allergies and food sensitivities.

Aurora's Cafe and Gifts specializes in Vegan baked goods, breakfast and lunch items, specialty coffees and smoothies, and handcrafted gemstone jewelry. The business was founded in 2022 by husband and wife team Mike and Stephanie Venezia. The vision began in 2007 when Stephanie started Aurora's Treasures gemstone jewelry, a hobby turned passion and business that went on the road to various craft and vendor events. Baking came into play a little later when Stephanie discovered, while struggling with being diagnosed with Crohn's disease, that dairy was no longer an option. At that time, very few decent dairy free options were available. So, Stephanie began experimenting with Vegan desserts at home and often shared them with friends and family. Through the years, people often encouraged Stephanie to open a bakery to share her delicious baked goods with the world, but it wasn't until late 2021 that the couple decided the time was right to dive in and make it a reality. Using his knowledge and experience from the US Air Force and his degree in business, Mike got Aurora's Cafe and Gifts remodeled and up and running, and opened the doors to the public on October 1, 2022.​

Aurora's Treasures still exists as the gift line of Aurora's Cafe and Gifts, and can be found on display around the cafe lobby. In addition, you can also find a selection of gifts and wares from other local vendors and locally roasted coffee! Available pastries and soups vary from day to day, but typically include cookies, cupcakes, donuts, muffins, and freshly baked bread. While Vegan food is our specialty, we understand food allergies and sensitivities and cater to as many requests as possible. Aurora's Cafe and Gifts firmly believes that everyone should be able to enjoy going out to eat and a sweet treat!
