Promoting travel and adventure, Fuel is encouraging patrons to upload their travel pictures for display on the cafe's big monitor screen and their social pages. They want to make a deep and lasting relationship with their customers and their active lifestyles. Active lifestyles create healthy lives. They even had Park Service posters prominently displayed in the restroom, and if you have visited one of the featured locations, they invite you to sign them—kinda like pins on a map. This creates a fun atmosphere designed to entice people to visit.
You can tell Alayna and Serenity have hospitality in their hearts.
With her extensive background in hospitality, Manager Alayna Abel conducts comprehensive interviews using the same criteria she employed in her earlier jobs to select employees with a focus on individuals with mild disabilities or individuals with lack work experience; she is all about the train up to success. Her goal is to serve fresh healthier dishes and teach skills to her employees that can be applied in other jobs. It's a tasty and refreshing concept, and honestly, had I not been informed of this mission, I would have been none the wiser, as the food and service were exceptional. This added a positive element and created a pleasant atmosphere.
The Fuel Bar.
The menu offers several coffee options, affectionately referred to as "Basic Fuel." Serenity says her favorite thing to make for customers are the breakfast paninies.
The finishing touches. Latte a go go!

We were served two fantastic lattes. A latte, by definition, consists of espresso and steamed milk.
Turtle Latte: This delicious drink is a winning combination of chocolate, caramel, and almond.
The Strawberry Banana Smoothie. They have an extensive drink list of smoothies, teas, and "dirty" sodas.
Garden Salad: A fresh mix of crispy vegetables—fresh and healthier is the goal.
Turkey Panini: This hearty sandwich includes turkey, bacon, Swiss cheese, and mayo, served steaming hot with a generous serving of turkey, bacon, and melted Swiss cheese on thinly sliced bread—freash, lite and delicious.
Sweet Crepes: Filled with strawberries and topped with a dollop of whipped cream and a light sprinkle of powdered sugar, these crepes were warm and sweet.
Reach the beyond with WorkSPACE—co-working space in Farmington.
Coconut Bowl: This homemade frozen yogurt is made with almond milk and coconut milk, bananas, and vanilla, served with strawberries, blueberries, oats, and coconut flakes, and drizzled with honey. It's a tasty, healthy treat that is dairy-free and my personal favorite.
Overall, Fuel Café on the Downtown Square in Perryville, Missouri, combines coffee, crepes & adventure vibes to create a fun atmosphere and a mission that can truly make a difference for the area and those seeking a step up.
Get Out There! Take an adventure. Get a smoothie. Go for a hike. Sing in the shower. Do something. Do anything. Get out there, that sunken sofa won't miss you.
