This place is absolutely amazing friendly staff they allow you to volunteer here in order whatever you want for only an hour pretty cool concept if you ask me
I had the privilege of having lunch here last week. Everything was amazing from the staff to the food to the atmosphere. Everyone was kind and friendly. The food was great. I highly recommend you visit this establishment if you are ever in the area.
I'm here from Florida for FSU game. The food was absolutely delicious. I've never been to a "pay as you can" cafe before but I'll keep an eye out for another in my travels.
We all enjoyed eating here. It’s a little different, but in a good way. The food was excellent and I enjoyed seeing a place that approaches eating out in a new way. I hope to see more restaurants like this in the future. The sweet potatoes tots were delicious!
A wonderful concept! I was visiting Raleigh for a weekend with some friends and we chose this spot for on of our breakfasts. We absolutely loved the concept of pay what you can or volunteer for a meal. You can see how everyone comes together to help one another out. We each ordered something different (chicken and waffles, avocado toast, BLT w/ tomato soup, and breakfast burrito) along with 4 different types of coffees and it did not disappoint! We also shared one of their dulce de leche brownie cheesecake slices and OMG IT WAS INCREDIBLE. Each of us enjoyed our dishes and the chill ambiance. Please show your support to this beautiful place by visiting the location or making an online donation. Thank you to the owners and staff for giving back to the community and serving everyone delicious food!
