Taste Community Restaurant

Great place, amazing concept, and menu. The pay what you can experience feeds your soul and body at the same time. If you are not familiar with the work they are doing, their website has great information. For those visiting by choice and not necessity, it is interesting to note that the full amount paid is a donation, and you're given a donation receipt at the end. Regarding the food, the menu is small, and well rounded, with a lot of healthy options. I chose the wild mushroom toast, which is topped with mushrooms, goat cheese, and 2 poached eggs on 3 half slices of toast. I ordered a side of bacon with it, and it made the meal pop for me. Something green on the plate would have been a nice touch to round out the richness a little more, but this is not a dish I've seen anywhere else, so there are points given for that alone. The potatoes that come as a side on most dishes are SOLID. Great taste and texture. We had the spice cake as a dessert, and it was dense but well flavored. I didn't look but it wouldn't surprise me if it was gluten free or vegan because the texture is similar. The service was friendly but not the same as a restaurant with a regular staff working on tips. Things move a little slower than normal and not as organized. This isn't a complaint; more of a heads up to set expectations accordingly. If I was a volunteer there, I doubt I could do better. 😊 Last note, because this is also not typical. There are no to go orders, no to go boxes and no outside dishes to do it yourself.

Fantastic upscale meals for breakfast and lunch. Executive chef and wonderful staff. It has a limited menu. However it does serves something for everyone including Vegan, gluten, non dairy and nuts but nuts are in the preparation area. ALL are volunteers including the chef. All proceeds go to feed the hungry and homeless. You set your value for your meal and what you can afford to pay. I choose to pay more for a wonderful cause. No tipping. Add it to what you want to pay. It's my place to go for a wonderful meal. Best to make a reservation as they get busy. Love it.
