SAME Café Denver
Everyone who visits SAME Café Denver is treated exactly the same. The mission of SAME Café Denver is to create community through healthy food access. People from diverse backgrounds gather and enjoy locally grown, freshly prepared meals in the heart of Denver on East Colfax.
SAME Café Denver welcomes everyone to participate with the resources they bring: time, money, or produce. This innovative, participation-based restaurant provides access to healthy food in a community setting, where people can be nourished with dignity while contributing what they can.
The Cook to Work program equips participants with essential job-readiness skills, promoting economic stability and opening doors to paid employment or further culinary training.
SAME Café Denver opened in 2006
SAME is working with other local communities to bring SAME Café to their own town! Find out more through SAME Café 101.
A key component of SAME Café Denver is participation. All guests are seen for who they are - meaningful participants and generous contributors to the community!
