This place has got great food, and that's just the beginning. The place itself has got a great architectural vibe. It's an old building with the new vibe and a dope little stage

Amazing place downtown on the sw side of the river. First time being here since they opened in 2018 and I was beyond impressed!! They are so kind and generous to every person they meet. The next time I come back I will pay it forward. Great food and amazing house punch! They used to be a musical arts center that helped allow kids in the area have a safe place to go after school and draw, sing, comedy, open mic you name it! Truly amazing to see how this community has grown and this place is planting seeds for God to grow! Love it will be back again definitely!!!🥰

I love the whole idea of how this operates. Very nice staff. Very delicious food. And I love the fact that it's a non-profit organization as well.

I've had breakfast here a couple times but tried the Philly for lunch. Ingredients were fresh. Love the (delicious) twist on the classic sandwich with a pretzel bun. This place does a lot for the community. Thank you.
