Big Big Table (BBT to our friends!) is WNY's first pay-as-you-can café providing access to restaurant-quality lunchtime meals for all members of our community. Open from 11:00-2:30 Monday through Friday, Big Big Table’s daily menu is dynamic, changing with what is seasonal and available from local farmers, grocers, wholesalers, and food rescue partners. Our guests, volunteers, and community suppor

ters contribute what they can—time, money, packaged groceries, or produce—to the operation of the café. In this way, Everybody helps to make the café a reality every day. Working together, we can help promote healthy families and connected communities. Share what you can with us, and make a difference on the plates and in the hearts of your neighbors!

Did you know that Big Big Table is a member of the network? OWEE unites independently operated pay-as-you-can cafes across the country through a set of shared values. Each cafe works in unique community contexts with differing operations approaches, but all are committed to a participation-based restaurant model that prioritizes dignity through choice.

It's a very special week for OWEE cafes: National Everybody Eats Week! We invite our community to ensure that everyone eats this week by dining, donating, or volunteering at your local pay-as-you-can cafe.
