A Place at the Table Raleigh

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, ALL 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.
Anyone who comes in to APATT will be treated as a valued member in our community.

Celebrating Community: Community is our driving motivator.
APATT 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’.
