We are opening a pay-what-you-can community cafe! As the need for food security continues to grow in New Orleans, so does the vision of the Crescent City Cafe. We will expand and create a full-service cafe, operate our own restaurant space, and serve breakfast and brunch daily. Anyone that visits us will be able to enjoy a meal regardless of his or her ability to pay.
The Crescent City Cafe will join over 60 pay-what-you-can community cafes in the United States including the Jon Bon Jovi Soul Kitchen in New Jersey, S.A.M.E. Cafe (So All May Eat) in Denver, and F.A.R.M. Cafe (Feed All Regardless of Means) in North Carolina. This practice of inclusive dining will help the Crescent City Cafe build a diverse, interconnected community where low-income guests dine and volunteer side-by-side with paying customers.
We are excited to expand and serve more people with dignified dining. Our intrepid board is working hard to make this vision a reality!
