Our Values:
Embracing Hospitality : All people are welcome in our café regardless of means. No matter who you are, where you come from, or how much you have in your pocket to pay for your meal, are are welcome to come enjoy a fresh and delicious meal. Recognizing the Right to be Respected: Every human being has dignity and should be treated with compassion. Celebrating Community: Community is our driving motivator. Table seeks to be a community that brings people together regardless of means. We strive to be a place that breaks walls and barriers between people of different economic class, generations, race, and spiritual backgrounds. We encourage conversation between all people, knowing it will create community and will nourish the soul. Valuing Excellent and Affordable Food: Healthy, affordable, and good food is our tool that brings people together. We provide excellent food for all people to enjoy. We keep our cost down to a reasonable price for a meal, so that all may eat. Pay what you can afford, pay what you would typically pay for a meal, or pay it forward and buy a meal for someone else. We are committed to excellent, healthy food at reasonable prices. To insure that there are no barriers to a person’s access to a healthy meal we are committed to a “Pay-What-You-Can-Afford” menu. Creating Community: We are a place to gather. Gather with your friends in the morning, meet new people over lunch, and utilize this space for your group gatherings at night. We are ‘a place for people to ‘be’. What does pay-as-you're-able to mean?
● Pay what you are able to afford
● Pay what you typically pay for a similar meal
● Pay what you would typically pay, plus extra to ‘pay it forward’ donation
● Pay specifically for someone’s meal
● Pay by volunteering with us

Come grab a bowl and stay awhile. 🍂

White Bean Chicken Chili topped with guacamole and tortillas, and served with a side salad with house ranch. Warm, hearty, and exactly what we want when the weather starts cooling down.

Volunteer Spotlight: Emily Bennett! ❤️

Emily is a longtime Table volunteer who brings so much light and energy wherever she goes. If you’ve had the chance to meet her, chances are you walked away feeling a little happier, a little more encouraged, and ready to take on the day.

It’s volunteers like Emily who make Table feel like Table, and we’re so grateful for the time, joy, and care she brings to our community. Next time you see Emily around the cafe, give her a high five and show her some love.

Thank you for everything you do, Emily. We’re lucky to have you at the Table.

Sounds like a pretty good plan to us.

Come hungry, grab your favorite drink, and pull up a chair. Good food tastes even better when it comes with good company.

See you at the Table. ❤️

Good things happen when community takes care of community.

We’re proud to partner with The Great Raleigh Cleanup through their Workforce Program, creating opportunities for meaningful, paid work while caring for the city we all call home.

Hear from Preston, founder of The Great Raleigh Cleanup, on what this partnership means and what’s possible when Raleigh shows up for itself.

Coffee weather is here. 🍁

But let’s be honest, you could get coffee anywhere. What makes it worth the trip to Table is everything that comes with the cup: a familiar face, a conversation that runs a little longer than planned, a seat at a table where you’re not just a customer.

However you take it, hot or iced, milk or black, we’ve got a cup waiting for you. Come grab a coffee and stay awhile.

Happy fall, from our table to yours.
