Taste Community Restaurant

Love this concept! Delicious food and the staff here is incredibly kind. Definitely make a reservation ahead of time, especially during lunch hours. They have a rotating menu; I’ve been here maybe 3-4 times and each time the food has been very quality! We all left feeling full with our individual entrees. They do not do takeout boxes so order what you know you can finish with dining in! Only one entree item per person; appetizers, drinks, and desserts available other than that! You pay what you can, maybe a little more if you have the means to. Employees are all volunteers. We loved our server Donna. Love the concept and the community aspect behind it — definitely give them your support!

Been here twice.. kind staff, most are all volunteers. Quick disclaimer based on the establishments name: This place is here FOR THE COMMUNITY. Not your typical restaurant establishment.. they don’t put prices on the menu bc they want everyone who lives in the community to be able to come here, eat and experience the well crafted food items.. and pay out of sincere appreciation, even if that means pay just what they can. The food.. I mean it speaks for itself. Every ingredient is thoughtfully crafted and prepared. I cannot emphasize how much flavor and true attention to detail they place, enough so that the place continues to STILL Run and feed people from every living background/circumstance. The best flavor in it all is that you can taste they sincerely care.. They rotate the menu seasonally, so if there is something you want to try.. be sure to do so before the next menu drops. Yes, the policy is one dish per person but (you can guess why, dfw..) you can also add a small plate with it.. which is so kind of them to allow.. but sincerely, I can barely walk out of the place after just eating the main dish .. bc the food truly hits the spot and fills us up. If you’re looking to try good scratch made gourmet food and a warm experience this is your spot.. If you’re used to getting absolutely everything you want in life and modifying every aspect of the food craft when you walk into an establishment, leave this spot in peace, drive to Dallas and go to moxies.. these guys are out doing themselves, doing the Whole World a Major Solid .. and changing the restaurant industry for building a concept/ establishment such as this. Aside from that, doit avoir!!

😍 Loved it! Great concept 👌. You pay as you can. The quality of the food and service is excellent 👍, but preferably, do make a reservation ahead, or else you will wait a while. The food was superb, great presentation and delicious 😋. I've mentioned this place to a lot of my friends and families.

My family had brunch here yesterday. 4 people had the bacon burger and I had the chicken tagine. Both dishes were excellent. I’m pretty picky/snobby (whatever you want to call it lol) about burgers but I tried one and they are fabulous. I’d never had chicken tagine so, that was the winner and boy was it! The desserts, I loved the bread pudding. The citrus tart was too much for half of my family and the other half, it was a win for. The atmosphere outside and in was adorable. I love the concept and mission. My only qualm was the volume. There’s nothing in there to absorb the sound so it was loud. I will be coming back biweekly.

ok, so it was NOT a pleasant experience for SOOO many reasons... 1) we couldn't get into the patio door and had to walk all the way around although staff was STARING right at us 2) we had to make a profile/reservation to be seated although only 10 people was in the restaurant 3) they say farm-to-table which isn't true..i asked for egg whites and was told no, we can't do that!! 4) you can't customize anything..it has to be served as it's listed on the menu 5) you CAN NOT take your leftovers..we ended up leaving 70% of our food on the table (as soon in the photos) 6) there are NO prices on the menu the only good thing is that it is a TRAINING facility for inspiring chef's and they allow people to complete volunteer hours (if needed). Corey, one of the servers was very patient, kind and respectful.

We visited as a small group on a Sunday afternoon so there was a wait. Otherwise we got seated and began our dining experience. The volunteer staff struggled a bit but it was his first shift and was still in training. Our food was slow to come out, but once on the table it was absolutely delicious and beautifully plated! Before leaving we visited their herb garden outside and took some photos. It was an amazing foodie experience and I will absolutely return with others.

A place where everyone is welcome. A place where people can learn and experience new flavors and make new friends.

Ayo, lemme tell y’all somethin’ real quick… First time in Texas, I slid into Taste Community Restaurant and said, “Lemme get that Oklahoma-style double cheeseburger with them fried potatoes,” and the lady who took my order smiled like she already knew I was about to get my life changed. Maaaan, when I tell you that burger came out looking like it was blessed by somebody’s grandma and smoked by somebody’s uncle wearin’ sandals with socks on… whew. First bite? My eyes rolled back so hard I saw my ancestors. Somebody’s Big Mama whispered in my ear, “That’s it, baby. That’s the one.” That burger was JUICY-juicy, cheese meltin’ like it had a bad day, onions sweeter than a church usher. The potatoes? Man, they hit like a left hook from Mike Tyson. Crispy, golden, seasoned like they knew they were special. And THEN… they hit me with the “pay-what-you-can.” I said, “Excuse me? You mean I just ate like royalty AND y’all letting me slide like that?” I almost started singing Never Would’ve Made It in the middle of the dining room. That burger was worth a million dollars. They need a location in every city and state. 5 stars, all day.

Fine dining for all. Seriously, that's the headline to take away. No matter who you are or where you are in life's journey, you are welcome at TASTE. The mission of TASTE is to build and support community through providing meals of exceptional culinary and nutritional quality. There is a reason TASTE is constantly showing up on "best places to eat" lists in DFW. At TASTE, you will see people of all walks of life participating in a unique and amazing experience, shaped by the values of TASTE founders Julie and Jeff, and upheld by the volunteers who make it all work. When you come in, you will be treated the same as everyone else: as a human being deserving of dignity, respect, inclusion, and community, and entitled to a high-quality meal that you will love. TASTE is NOT a soup kitchen. It is a full service, non-profit restaurant that serves truly astonishingly good food. All guests choose what they want to pay: what they would normally pay for their meal at another place, pay more, or pay less. You can also volunteer your time to serve others in the community through TASTE, which also gives you a priority seating credit for your next visit so you can skip the wait line. On your first visit, be sure to make a reservation, as seating is limited for walk-ins without a priority credit in order to accommodate all guests.

Always an amazing experience at Taste! They serve up delicious meals while serving the community! The menu changes every three months and they have brunch on the weekends! Don't be afraid to check them out and pay what you can afford or what you think the meal is worth!

Ever since I been in Texas I've been hearing about Taste. People had mention to me about the kind of service that is provided and how cheap it is. If you only have .25 cent, they will take it and you get to enjoy wonderful food made by profesional chiefs. So, I finally give it a shot. I enjoyed that you can Park with out worrying getting a ticket. It's beautiful inside. Since it was my first time going there, they offered me a table right away. I ordered the steak which was cooked only 1 way but it was too bloody for my taste. Then they allowed me to try the fish. The outside of the fish was cooked but it was frozen in the inside after that it was my time to leave. Si Manila is a real thing if I continúes to eat that fish. As I got tell the manager she offered to re-cook the fish and it was just best for me to leave. I even donated and bought one of their cups. As I am walking out the manager was behind and I spit the frozen fish out my mouth outside and because I did that outside the Taste restaurant she told me that I was not allowed back. Now mind you I didn't disrespect her or the restaurante. But that was my interaction with taste at this place. Maybe the one in Arlington will be better.

Great food and great staff. Took a little time to get the food, but the quality was worth it. I would definitely go again.

This place is amazing! You pay what you have or pay what you think the food is worth. Definitely a variety of different kind of people go there, but there's always someone that's not trying to pay anything and getting spoken to by the manager. Make sure to set an appointment online though (it's $1 fee) to ensure you have a time to sit. Otherwise you might be waiting for a while or they won't accept anyone else cause there's a long wait list

Taste is a pay what you can restaurants with a seasonally changing menu staffed by volunteers! It's a culinary training program too. The volunteers are obviously passionate about giving you great service and it shows! Love this place!!!

Seasonal menu, cool vibe with predominantly volunteer staff. Prices are not listed, you pay what you feel the food is worth and the proceeds go to feed the homeless. Owner/chef offers a seasonal tasting when he comes out with the new menu where you can purchase tickets for and is great fun!

Queen Mahi Mahi - Sous Chef Apprentice Christine! Perfectly cooked and tasted awesome.

I brought my mom here for her Birthday lunch and to support the restaurant. It was out second visit but it's been over a year. I definitely recommend making a reservation for this popular "volunteer " restaurant! We had friendly service and the food was good but not great. It did take about 15 minutes for me to get my hot tea, guess the station was backed up. I didn't mind since I was with my mom and no in a big rush. I like the simple menu with fewer options that we can decide quickly and get the order in. I like that we can help feed other people by leaving a little extra $$ if possible but you pay what you can afford here!! It's definitely helping the community and feeding folks good food.

I enjoy eating here. The staff that hosts and serves are volunteers and are always friendly. The food is good but the concept is great. Today I had the barbecue sandwich with the crispy potatoes and a cup of elote soup as my side. That's the biggest cup of soup I've ever seen!! Glad I didn't order the bowl! I wouldn't have been able to eat it! The potatoes are ones of my favorite things on their menu. They also put them on some of the breakfast plates. So delicious! Keep in mind that the servers do not get paid and do not get tips. Everything you pay goes to feed you AND those who can't pay. Please, IF YOU CAN, pay it forward. This place provides way more than food for people struggling, it also provides training so they can get jobs and get out of their situation. It provides contracts for counseling, financial and psychological. It provides contact for pastoral counseling. This place feeds the body and the soul. Get out and help where you can. If you can't help financially then maybe you can volunteer some time.

What a great place to eat with such a great cause! This was my third time eating at taste community. If you did not know the story of this spot you would still rate 5 stars! We have always been greeted and treated so kindly. There are always folks training but they do such a great job. For this stop we had the breakfast sandy. The potatoes were amazing! So crunchy and the sandwich was delicious I would eat every day if I could. They always have a diverse menu with very interesting things to select prepared to perfection. I would recommend to anyone to check this place out and learn the story behind it. Tip- they have nice outdoor seating if the weather is good.

I really like great ideas that have a good execution...my French toast was amazing (honestly the best I've had in a very long time). Service was a little wonky but friendly. My friend's quiche looked amazing. I would definitely bring my husband here.

Very cool concept, good food, great service! I don't ever feel like I pay enough no matter how much or little I eat, but I fully support the cause.

The burgers here was lowkey Owen, Ts does NOT pmo ‍ ‍ ‍ Gurt: Yeah Ts burger spot was lowkey Tuff

Came here a few months ago with a friend - I ordered the Lamb Kofta Kabob and they got the Seafood Fideo. Absolutely loved the dish I ordered - it comes with ground lamb and beef seasoned with middle eastern spices and pickled spring vegetables. It's served with white bean hummus and toasted pita. Everything tasted so fresh! My friend really enjoyed their meal too. The Seafood Fideo has shrimp and mussels simmered with Spanish spices, fresh peas, and vermicelli noodles topped with garlic aioli and garden herbs. It's served with lemon. They said the pasta was light, flavorful, and that the shrimp and mussels paired real well with the pasta. Taste is a nonprofit restaurant with a pay-what-you-can concept. On their receipts, you won't see a charge for what you ordered. Instead, you write in your total donation amount. They also don't accept tips, but ask that you consider the tip amount in your donation.

As Christmas approaches this year, I've found myself meditating on what I am grateful for.   A few years ago, I was diagnosed with an illness affecting the nervous system and was terrified as my functions were intermittently glitching and, at times, nearly shutting down. I found myself both listless and confused, and routine tasks became overwhelming. I realized that it had been weeks since I'd had a proper meal; I had fallen into a habit of having a bowl of cereal or something equally mindless every time I got hungry. Lethargic grazing. I worried about what inadequate nutrition was doing to my already sick body.   The financial implications of my illness were not clear yet, as I did not know how long it would take to stabilize and what my medical needs would be going forward. As a result, I was concerned about money and did not feel safe spending on quality restaurant meals several times a week, but had to figure something out, as I was beginning to feel even worse with my recently devolved eating habits. I discovered Taste Community Restaurant and went there regularly for a few months to build myself back up with real food again. The restaurant was beautiful, the menu was amazing, and the owners were very nice. I think they could tell that I was traumatized and demoralized and that my case went a bit beyond simply being broke. (I didn't talk to anyone there about what I was going through, but was clearly crushed.) I appreciated that they held a space for me and that they created such a warm place for people in need to come for sustenance. Most of the volunteers were very nice. On one visit, I recognized a former classmate from middle school named Elizabeth Forney McCarthy (although I remembered her as Liz), who volunteers at Taste restaurant. She looked uncomfortable and resentful as she brought drinks to my table and shot me disgusted looks from across the room. (Could I not have tried harder in life so she wouldn't be put in this position? How thoughtless of me.) I think the cognitive dissonance of someone she knew turning out to be one of "those people" made her reflexively antagonistic; I had inadvertently made it harder for her to virtue-signal in peace, as her real feelings about "losers" surfaced abruptly by my presence there. Having said that, I am quite sure she was friendly to everyone else. My health has improved since those visits to this restaurant, and I am glad that the disorienting and scary period of time right after my diagnosis is safely in the rearview mirror. I'm happy to have memories of being supported during that difficult time. Life can be even more beautiful than before once the worst storms pass. Taste Community Restaurant is a wonderful lighthouse.

Invited here by a friend of very modest means. This community restaurant gave him a real sense of pride being able to take his friends out to eat. The menu just changed over to the Fall menu. Everything was amazing. We had chicken Marsala, salmon, and mushroom burger and pear, parsnip soup. The presentation was perfect, the flavors exceptional. The staff is cheerful and very accommodating. The atmosphere is cozy and comforting. Absolutely a delight.

Absolutely LOVE this concept! Pay what you can and pay it forward. Food was well worth the 1hr drive over to FW. We loved it so much that we all bought T-shirts to support which are so buttery soft! 10/10 would recommend and will be back!

What an amazing concept! My husband and I decided to stop by in our way to Fort Worth and I'm so happy we did. Taste Community Restaurant is a non-profit that serves the community through volunteer hours, meals, financial and cooking classes and mental health support. All of the servers are volunteers and cooks are looking to better their skills. After your meal, you can pay what you afford or more! Overall, the food and service was fantastic, I thought the potato soup, lamb kabobs and rice bowls had great flavor. Everything tasted fresh and I wasn't overly stuff. Will definitely come back to continue to support this cause!

The place, the menu, the food, the staff, and the service were all EXCELLENT! I love that this place is intentional not only with their mission but also with their execution. We stopped in for lunch and got a turkey sandwich & smoked salmon Benedict. Both were flavorful, fresh, and plated well. If you want a place that fills both your belly & your heart, this is the place to be!

such a wonderful concept here - i love that money is not the main focus, but building their community and giving back. we ordered their ricotta citrus toast (highly recommended), sunrise special and yogurt parfaits. ricotta citrus toast 5/5 what a unique way of having toast and fruits for breakfast! i would honestly never order this in my life, anywhere in the world. our wonderful server mary highly recommended us this dish & its the best dang thing ive ever had for breakfast! its got fresh sliced oranges and grapefruite (bruleed, omg!) with pomogranite seeds and crushed pistachios! must try!! sunrise breakfast 5/5 - 2 eggs (any style) with fresh bacon and their famous housecrispy potatoes! what a heart warming experience knowing our money is going far beyond just paying the bill. the concept here is helping those in need with culinary schooling, tuition, experience, community service & more! there is no real "bill" or tipping - instead, donations are accepted with gratuity kept in mind for the donation amount as well. we know this place will continue to thrive and grow - theyre in the works of opening a location in arlington, texas!

Came for brunch on a Sunday. A majority of the tables were empty however they were on a 45 minute wait.

Food: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Cleanliness: 5/5 Service: 4/5 I absolutely love the cause behind Taste! Customers can pay what they can afford or more, and they don't hold back in the dishes' flavors. The people are kind and welcoming. The place was quite full for a Sunday lunch - which was a great indicator that the wait would be worth it. We tried the following dishes: * (5/5) Lamb Kofta Kebab I loved this dish! Very filling with the 2 meaty kebabs, and the freshly fried pita chips and hummus were delicious. * (5/5) Special Thai Chicken Salad As much as I loved the lamb kofta kebab, I couldn't help myself from wishing I got this salad upon trying it. The various shredded vegetables (cabbage, carrots, bell peppers) mixed well together. Plus, the chicken was tender, and the Thai salad dressing was very identifiable. I highly recommend this place to anyone in DFW. It's a noble non-profit that does a superb job in furthering its purpose in providing quality meals to everyone.

The concept is nice and what they are doing for the community BUT. I don't think you should sit first time guest by the loudest most obnoxious person who is regular at the restaurant. I couldn't even take in all my surroundings because this person stayed o. Her phone talking about sex and dates with her boyfriend. One of the employees tried asking her to keep the noise down but to no avail. I quickly tasted the food gave the leftovers it to the new guy that sat across from me and ran out. I missed the ambiance but may give it another try.

For Heaven's sake! Should be their motto. It's a restaurant that cares about your soul as well as your stomach. Came in for lunch, for what I thought was after the lunch-rush...NOT! The place was slammed, so I stood near the drink bar and had an entertaining conversation with Bill the Bar Keep. Everyone from the hostess (never got her name) to the servers (mine was Jane) and cooks were genuinely happy and ready to please the customers. One of the co-founders, Julie, was there...keeping the machine oiled. I ordered the Pozole Rojo, which is on par (if not better than), with my Mexican mom's pozole. For dessert, I had a cup of REALLY strong coffee and the bread pudding. It was amazing delightful, and not stuffed with crazy amounts of dried fruits, just enough dried cherries to add a little sweetness. I'm definitely coming back and bringing friends, too!

We were looking for a place to eat brunch in what will be our new neighborhood and found this place called Taste Community Restaurant. All of the waitstaff are volunteers who help with servicing the restaurant. The cooks are people who are going through their culinary training program. They all work together to help reduce food insecurities there in Fort Worth. Their menu changes seasonally, and payment is based on a 3-tiered payment structure- whatever you can pay, whatever you paid for your last brunch out, or what you'd pay for a normal meal out with as much as you want to donate to their operation. They have so many programs for the community. I'm very impressed. Oh, and the food? We both had the Braised Short Rib over Polenta, and I'd order it over and over again. I can't wait to be close by and be able to support this endeavor!

Julie Williams is very creepy she kept mentioning my muscles and touching my arm and when I told one of the other workers i was uncomfortable she banned me for a week isn't she married? This is fucked up

Grabbed another quick, easy, & delicious To Go lunch yesterday! The burger is filling with 2 beef patties, cheese, pickles, tomatoes & a light smear of a house made sauce all head together with a sturdy brioche bun. (I got mine without mustard). You can never go wrong with crispy potatoes and it they serve a very generous portion! There was a flyer in my bag stating that they will not be doing carry out orders beginning next week which makes me very sad but I will have to make an effort to go on the weekends. I also just read on their site they're going to open a restaurant in downtown Arlington so I'm excited about having another one in the area!!! I'm going to look into opportunities to volunteer in the upcoming months.

An exceptional meal with my family at the new Taste Community Restaurant in Arlington! The food, presentation, atmosphere and service were all fantastic. We enjoyed hearing more about the heart and the ministry of Taste and will be supporting and spreading the word to everyone we know.

Food was good especially for the pay what u can model, but their mission to give back to the community is top notch. Attentive service and laid back atmosphere.

Just wanted to take a moment to recommend the miso cod served over bok choy which I enjoyed Sunday Jan 28. It's a nice piece of cod that has been marinated in miso and mirin which gives it a fresh, slightly sweet flavor then they take a torch and lightly brown it all over which delivers a delightful smoky aspect..then topped with crisp rice noodles which adds some crunch.. highly recommended ! What I'm trying to say is.. who cooks like this? Other than the very top tier restaurants in town? Not only does Taste have an excellent humanitarian cause, it also has a very strong kitchen.. enjoy

First time and I LOVE their concept. The meals are very infusion-gourmet, simply delicious and made with so much attention and love! The service and great also, it seems like everyone there enjoys being there :). You pay & tip what you are able to. It's great to see everyone getting a meal, regardless of their economic status...this is what makes humanity and this community great!

Food going out looked great, however wait was a bit long, I guess they need reservations but will take walk ins. I guess one of the things that really came to My attention, was the idea of a non-profit and community driven restaurant, looks clean but here's kind of the idea of the review. A lot of the crowd appeared to be homeless and came off as a soup kitchen... everyone was nice but it felt a bit uncomfortable there, like I was out of place. After some guy came in with a sleeping bag and two squirt guns, leaving his trash outside, that's when I went with my gut and left. If you're okay with that type of environment and make it to try the food, it seems as if the food was great. I base my reviews on; ambience, food and service. I will one day return and possibly change the review.

I was looking for brunch & Yelp steered me to Taste! Thank goodness. Taste is a pay-what-you-can community outreach. I would put it up against ANY of the bougie neighborhood brunches I've been to! The quiche was recommended and DANG, quite possibly the best quiche to pass my lips. Flakey artisan crust, creamy filling (with plenty of cheese & bacon) and ample portion. The citrus side salad was excellent- arugula, 2 types of citrus, butternut squash, and slivered almonds. Couldn't pass up a side of their crispy potatoes- they went by a few times on other guests plates & I couldn't resist. What the heck- I was so impressed with the main course I decided to give dessert a shot. ZERO regrets. The homemade citrus tart had a special zing, light meringue topping and incredibly tender crust. Fun, hip atmosphere, excellent service and eclectic crowd. Happily paid what I would of paid at the bougie joint & then some! Highly recommend!

The food was amazing, but overshadowed by the whole concept of people being able to eat even if they can't afford it. Loved paying more by choice to help those who couldn't. Server was awesome, such an enjoyable experience.

As I was volunteering today at Taste, which is an amazing restaurant. One of our customers came in and helped pay for someone else's meal who didn't have any money. As I thanked this person for blessing the other person, he looked at me and said, "that's what we are supposed to do." This is so true, and that's exactly what Taste is all about. This restaurant not only has delicious food, they are willing to help those that need a good home cooked meal. It's also a great place to volunteer if anyone is looking to serve the community. God bless the two people that walked through Taste's doors today.

Wonderful concept. no prices are set. You pay what you think it's worth. Chefs are senior students at Culinary Institue of America. Staff are volunteers. Wonderful food. What a delight to experience Taste. A wonderful, unique idea for a restaurant.

Everything my party tasted was excellent. Carrot soup was tasty. My salmon on Brussels sprouts and shaved asparagus was perfect (except could have left out the few green peas) Cake cake dessert...so good Thank you for great food and your service to the. Comm

Pay What You Want Policy. Such a wonderful concept. Apprentices learning from the chefs in their open kitchen. Volunteers working in their light and airy dining room and patio. For brunch, healthy and fresh tasting "Apple Pancakes"; hearty "Croque Madame"; strong "Coffee". Smiling as I received the check, thankful to pay it forward this time wholeheartedly. CHEERS!

With so many restaurants on Magnolia Avenue to chose from, Taste Community Restaurant is an outstanding destination! The menu is seasonal, delicious, and SO fresh. Staff are volunteers who just SHINE with the joy of their work. Guests are a kaleidoscope of precious humans. Location is honestly fabulous bc it's at the end of Magnolia where street parking is available. The decor is rustic-modern. But the most important thing is the impact that Taste has in our community.... pay what you can means those with less $ can fellowship and eat glorious food without worry while those with more $$$$ can make it possible for a taste to remain open.

This place is a gem in the rough. It's such a humble place to be in and to hear what they do. Price is set at what you can pay and the food is great. It's a must recommend if you are ok with the whole environment set up. Will come back here again if I ever come back to this location.

Always a good menu with lots of creative options. It's easy to find something for everyone and everything is always done well. Love the concept and great volunteering options.

Went into this restaurant around 10:00am by myself for a quick breakfast. I was put on a waiting list with approximately 20 open tables. Servers were literally standing around. I thought it was a joke. I simply asked for a cup of coffee while I wait. The owner/manager said coffee is only for seated patrons. I sat for another 20 minutes and left. Don't waste your time.

This place is disgusting, do not ever come here! this place has horrible service and I just wanted a refund because of how terrible this place was!!

I'm sorry taste is not what it seems to be in Fort Worth because lack of customer satisfaction.

if you are a lover of avocado toasts... you have not lived until you've consumed this toast. absolutely no words to really describe how perfect of an avocado toast this is. ( there is so much avocado on this ) and they use a dressing for the greens that is slightly salty and compliments the avocado perfectly. i've been dreaming about this toast ever since. i'll make the 4 hour drive just to eat here again. ( i do advise calling to make a reservation, makes your life easier. )

Walked in at 12:15pm on a Friday. When we spoke with the hostess she said the waitlist was full and they were no longer taking names. However, they had over 10 tables wide open and unoccupied. I asked if all of those tables were reserved, she said yes and reminded me the restaurant closes at 2pm. That's weird?! With 10 tables open and a full waitlist, why aren't there more people sitting in tables eating? Especially if you close in less than 2 hours. We will never be back

This one was so unexpected!!! We went to breakfast and were treated with a beautiful restaurant that's on a mission to serve their community!! First of all, it is very well organized. The restaurant is beautifully appointed with fresh colors and decor giving you such a peaceful feeling. Most of the workers there are volunteers and are extremely nice!! We ordered the Buckwheat Pancakes (which sounds like a super dry pancake but it was very moist and delicious!!) We also ordered the Breakfast Burrito and the Sunrise Breakfast. Their sausage is homemade and so good!! The best part is that YOU PAY WHAT YOU WANT!! It's an honor pay system where you pay what you can or pay based on how much you were blessed! I've never been to restaurant where this is the community concept. They are a nonprofit organization and this is how they bless the community. A wonderful place.
