First Bite Café

About

Product service system designed for children to experience edible insects

First Bite Cafe is a food preparation environment that introduces children to insect eating through the act of co-production. Children engage with a collection of intuitive and participatory tools and, together with their parents, prepare the insects for easy consumption. Countering the phobias and fears associated with insects, this environment encourages a curious and imaginative approach to food production. Inspired by the ecological damage of our reliance on the meat industry, First Bite Cafe creates an environment of understanding that can enable a shift away from environmentally harmful eating habits.
