Hey friends,
I read this review the other day, and it hit me hard:
“Me and my kids ate here off and on during the time we were homeless. A lot of times we never knew where our next meal was coming from then we found this place and I’m so glad we did! The staff became our family and we were always treated with so much love and compassion!!!” – Google Review
We get reviews like this often. We meet people every day who tell us how much Table has meant to them. We’re here to feed people, to show up for them in community, to create a place where everyone belongs. This place is doing what it’s meant to do, and every day it is beautiful to see that play out.
But here’s the thing—it’s not just doing what it’s meant to do. It’s changing us, too. It is changing me every day. If I were to write a Google Review, here is what I would say…
“We love what we do so much. We get to build relationships with people every day. We get to know so many beautiful kiddos and have huge hugs. We couldn’t be luckier.” – Me
We may serve meals, but the truth is, we’re the ones who leave feeling full. Full of gratitude, full of connection, full of the reminders that this place isn’t just a café—it’s a community. As my friend Danny always says, a place where there are the most hugs per capita. A place where no one has to wonder if they belong, because we already know the answer.
And we want you to be part of it. Whether you come to share a meal, scrub some dishes, or simply sit with us over coffee, there’s always a place for you at the Table, literally.
Here’s are a few ways you can join us:Join us and pay-it-forward for the Pay-What-You-Can Food Truck Rodeo!
