Branded Grilled Cheese Restaurants

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Armored Fresh Has Launched Its First Restaurant in Brooklyn

— October 23, 2024 — Marketing
Armored Fresh recently opened its inaugural grilled cheese restaurant in Brooklyn's DeKalb Market Hall. Armored Grilled Cheese focuses on offering plant-based comfort food while emphasizing affordability and taste. The brand's goal with this venture is to break the common perception that plant-based alternatives are expensive and inferior in flavor. By using zero-dairy cheeses that mimic the texture and taste of traditional dairy products, Armored Fresh aims to appeal to a broad audience, including vegans and non-vegans alike.

The grilled cheese restaurant's menu features both classic and unique options, such as the Kimchi Grilled Cheese. As plant-based diets continue to grow in popularity, this restaurant model provides an affordable way to enjoy familiar comfort foods in a more sustainable form. Additionally, Armored Fresh's innovative approach to dairy alternatives, using patented technology to replicate the melting and mouthfeel of traditional cheese, enhances the appeal for those skeptical of plant-based options.
