The EAT (Everyone At the Table) Café is a non-profit, pay-what-you-can café that nourishes, educates, and unites community in a welcoming environment. The EAT Café is a collaboration among Drexel’s Center for Hunger-Free Communities, the Vetri Community Partnership, Drexel’s Center for Hospitality and Sports Management, and the West Philadelphia community.
At EAT Café, we believe that everyone has a right to access healthy, hearty food with dignity. In Philadelphia, nearly 1 in 4 people are food insecure. We address food insecurity by providing nutritious, high quality meals to all who walk through our door. We serve three-course meals made from fresh ingredients, and our menu options change daily.
EAT Café is located in West Philadelphia, at the intersection of seven vibrant and diverse neighborhoods. As a community-based café, the EAT Café provides a welcoming space to nourish the community through good food and fellowship. In addition, we engage the community through various activities, events, and educational programming. Future programming will include culinary arts and workforce readiness training.
A sample of the menu is as follows, plus the menu changes daily....
