Busy Bee Organics has been serving Jersey City’s Healthy Meal Delivery community since 2014. Their menu boasts an extensive selection of nutritious dishes for those seeking something more than takeout.

Their new sit-down cafe is a welcome addition to the growing foodie scene in this neighborhood. The establishment features a small counter, a refrigerated grab-and-go section, and plenty of prepared treats that can be taken right away.

Gluten-Free

Busy Bee Organics is a Jersey City-based meal delivery service that specializes in gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan cuisine. Their menu focuses on vegetables with protein-packed meals that are both nutritious and delicious.

The company has also opened a permanent cafe in the Heights, where customers can grab their meal-to-go or sit down for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Owner Michelle Berckes says the menu is designed around what fitness and nutrition experts recommend as being nutritious; from colorful stir-fry medleys to quinoa bowls and sweet treats like lemon bars or black bean brownies.

The cafe is small and cozy – there’s a sit-down counter, a fridge grab-and-go section, as well as plenty of ready-to-eat treats. Plus, for coffee lovers, they carry fair trade, organic options from Equal Exchange.

Whole Food Based

Busy Bee Organics makes whole food eating effortless, from delivered meals to wellness retreats with acupuncture. Their focus on high-integrity ingredients like grass-fed beef, local eggs, and sustainable fish not only tastes great but also provides numerous health advantages like increased energy levels, healthier skin, boosted immunity, and improved sleep.

Their menu changes weekly, but you can always count on plenty of fresh veggies, fruit, and nutritious proteins. For those needing extra protein, they offer “protein packs” with just the right amount of meat or legumes.

Refined Sugar-Free

Busy Bee’s gluten-free bakery products contain high-integrity ingredients that aid in blood sugar regulation, Immune Health, heart health, and digestion – as well as providing energy and protein. Plus their treats will surely satisfy any sweet tooth!

Berckes, a Certified Health Supportive Chef with a bachelor’s in dietetic nutrition, began her business seven years ago at Grove Street Farmers Market and has since expanded to serve a larger clientele through commercial kitchen space. Nowadays she employs 12 people to cook and deliver their nutritiously dense foods throughout Jersey City, Hoboken, and Union City each week; with menus changing weekly for something exciting every meal. They even offer their signature 7-day Beetox program which includes three days of healthy eating plus nutrition coaching plus access to holistic treatments like acupuncture or yoga.

Vegan

Busy Bee Organics is a healthy meal delivery service and organic cafe that strives to bring nutritious, natural food right into the hands of busy Jersey City residents. Owner Michelle Berckes said her mission was to offer delicious yet nutrient-rich meals that fit into busy lifestyles.

In August 2019, Busy Bee Organics opened its first permanent retail location in Jersey City’s Heights neighborhood at 451 Palisade Avenue. Here you’ll find a small sit-down counter, chilled grab-and-go foods, and plenty of ready-to-try treats.

The menu offers a selection of plant-based dishes made with premium ingredients from local farms, such as roasted carrots, greens, and seasonal fruits. Some options are vegan while others have protein add-ons that can provide extra support towards reaching your dietary objectives.

Dairy Free

If you’re feeling the effects of too much dairy in your body, cutting out all traces of milk and milk products can be an easy (and delicious!) way to start improving your health. From bloating to improved skin and reduced oxidative stress, ditching dairy helps improve overall well-being.

Busy Bee Organics in Jersey City provides fresh, plant-based meals and snacks that fit seamlessly into your busy lifestyle. Owner Michelle Berckes provides a selection of grab-and-go healthy meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner as well as freshly baked goods to fit into any schedule.

Dairy-free diets not only eliminate dairy from your diet, but they can also eliminate other common allergens. Many people report having clearer, less blemished skin when they eliminate dairy from their meals.
