SAME Café

The food was great! I really enjoyed how I felt like I was eating a salad straight out of a garden and the pizzas were really tasty as well. Did I leave full? No. But I don’t think that was the point here. For me, it was a great introduction to organizations like this one and how they operate as well as a reminder that others may not be as fortunate as I am and that I should always be grateful. I look forward to supporting this business in the future and letting the other organizations I’m a part of know that this place exists!

I absolutely love this place! The concept of creating a café where everyone can eat, regardless of their financial situation, is truly beautiful and inspiring. It's heartwarming to see a community-focused initiative like this thriving. Not only is the mission amazing, but the food is also healthy, fresh, and absolutely delicious. I used to volunteer here, and one of the perks was getting a free meal before your shift. I'll never forget the coconut curry and rice--it was so good that I still find myself craving it years later! The atmosphere is great, with both indoor and outdoor seating available. Whether you choose to sit inside or enjoy the fresh air outside, the table-side service makes it feel like any other restaurant, which I really appreciated. This place is special in so many ways, and I can't recommend it enough--whether you're here to eat, volunteer, or just support an incredible cause.

Wonderful pay/donate-what-you-can cafe filled with amazing staff, volunteers, and customers 🤍 Chef Kim and Chef Tyler are the best! You never know what fun conversations you might have here. The menu is almost always soup, salad, and pizza, but the ingredients are always different so it's a fun surprise to see what's on the menu each day. There are options for everyone and they will make custom pizzas if needed to accommodate dietary preferences. Don't be shy and feel free to ask for what you need! Highly recommend giving this place a try.
