"Rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness." — Colossians 2:7 (NIV)
OAT was born from a simple belief: that you deserve to start your day with something real. And that food, at its best, brings people together.
our story
Whole heart.
Whole ingredients.
Armed with a breakfast cart, a playlist of good tunes, and a whole lot of passion, she set out to make mornings better. Her little cart became a beloved piece of the Fargo community. Then the story took a beautiful turn.
let us tell you a story
Once upon a time,
there was a girl named
Lindsey who really loved food.
They came as fans.
They stayed as stewards.
Matt and Kate came to OAT the same way most people do: as fans. They'd fallen in love with the cart, the food, and the community it created. Under their care, you'll still find all your favorite nourishing oat bowls, toast combos, and iced sips crafted with clean ingredients and a whole lot of heart.
