Brunch lovers, listen up. Ever wanted to chow down on some buttermilk waffles and also do some good? Enter A Place at the Table—Raleigh’s first pay-what-you-can café, where the food is great, and the mission is even better.
Here’s how it works: You can pay the suggested price, pay a little less, volunteer an hour for a meal, or even pay it forward so someone else can eat. No judgment, no barriers—just a community coming together over coffee and brunch. And trust us, their spicy cheddar biscuits are so good they could solve world peace (or at least a bad morning).
So go grab a seat, sip your macchiato, and know that every bite is making Raleigh a better place.
This isn’t sponsored (we’d let you know if it was). We just support breakfast and good deeds.
