MISSION.

CAFE 180 is a kitchen in downtown Englewood that provides access to nourishing food, regardless of ability to pay. We do this through paid and partnered catering, grab and go meals and meal kit subscriptions (coming soon). 

CORE VALUES.

EVERYBODY EATS.

We believe that lives can be transformed by eating real, nutritionally-dense and delicious food prepared consistently and prepared well.

ALL ARE WELCOME.

CAFE 180 creates space for everyone to feel good about the food they eat, the work they do, the people they connect to, and the time they spend. We get to know all people as individuals and invite everyone to be part of our community.

EVERYONE HAS SOMETHING TO OFFER.

Everyone has something to give and everyone is worthy of receiving. We look for creative ways to balance our traditional systems of exchange, allowing people to volunteer their time if they don’t have the resources to pay for a meal.

WE’RE ALL CONNECTED.

We stand by the side of people in our community who are traditionally left out of our social structure, and give all people a chance to connect with people who they may not spend time with on an average day.
