Pay-what-you-can cafe serving sandwiches, brunch & volunteer opportunities
"A pay-what-you-can cafe offering multiple ways to participate—pay the suggested price, donate a minimum, volunteer for a meal, or pay it forward. The reviewer sampled the chicken and waffles, called it a restaurant-quality dish and gave it an 8/10, and expressed appreciation for the sliding-scale model. The visit included a personal interaction with a volunteer named Zack, for whom the reviewer left a graduation gift via his mother." - Erin Perkins
"Raleigh’s first pay-what-you-can cafe aims to address food insecurity in a unique and delicious way by offering a sit-down breakfast and lunch joint open to all regardless of ability to pay. Patrons can enjoy breakfast platters, sandwiches, soups, and more and opt to pay full price, pay a portion of the price, or even volunteer in lieu of payment. Additional tips and donations support the nonprofit’s mission." - Matt Lardie
"Downtown Raleigh’s first pay-what-you-can cafe also happens to be one of it’s most popular spots for weekend brunch. There are four ways to pay for your meal — pay the full price, pay whatever you can, volunteer in exchange for a meal, or buy a gift card for others in the community. At A Place At The Table, everyone gets to sit down to huevos rancheros, breakfast biscuit sandwiches, egg platters, homemade Pop-Tarts, and more." - Matt Lardie
"A Place at the Table’s mission to feed everyone in its community certainly makes the sandwiches taste even better. The black bean melt and turkey bacon avocado club are menu highlights at Raleigh’s first pay-what-you-can cafe. A Place at the Table is open for lunch Wednesday through Sunday and provides meals to all — at the price folks are able to pay. Add a little extra to your tab to support someone else’s meal." - Catherine Currin
"At A Place at the Table, owner Maggie Kane immediately turned to art to signal that the pay-what-you-can restaurant was up and running: volunteers painted the boards white and used bright color spray paint to make the crucial words 'All are welcome, Black Lives Matter, and pay-what-you-can' pop, so people would know that although the boards were up and folks couldn’t come in, they still had a place at the table." - Jenn Rice
