This place offers an incredible sense of community and warmth, making you feel like a true local from the moment you step in. Their mission to ensure everyone is fed is both inspiring and heartfelt, adding an extra layer of meaning to the experience. The food is absolutely delicious, with thoughtful options for everyone, including vegans—highlighted by their impressive vegan cheese offerings. It’s more than just a meal; it’s a place where great food meets a great cause.

This is the best lunch in Boone, hands down. Not only do you get a delicious and well balanced meal for a fair price, but the service is always top tier, the other patrons friendly, and the environment welcoming. Rest easy knowing you helped the community by enjoying a delicious meal.

Great concept! Have a decent meal, and address hunger in the High Country.

Non-profit donate what you can…suggested donation of $7 for a “small plate”…more than enough for lunch, and beats a $10+ fried fast food lunch!

Fixed menu each day…clearly a community hub…feels like everybody knows each other here.

Great job!

I think that this was the most wonderful place that I ever worked at. The food is great and the atmosphere is undescribable. I'd recommend eating lunch here if one has never tried it, you won't leave hungry or disappointed.

My favorite restaurant in the country. I look forward to going here every year on my visit to Blowing Rock. You get up to 4 courses of food (salad, soup, entree, dessert). How could you not love getting 4 courses !! The food changes everyday as they get it from local farms. Very healthy! It’s a pay what you can restaurant. The volunteers are friendly. 10/10! You should visit.

Came up to bring disaster relief supplies to our cousin serving in the National Guard in Boone. Stopped in for a quick lunch while waiting and wow this place is awesome. Serving the community in its time of need, asking nothing for the food unless people can afford to donate, which of course we did.
It was a set meal, but it was good food and not junk food.
Lovely lady greeting you when you walk in and checking on us while we were there.
If there were more people like those volunteering here in the world, the world would be a much better place.
Thank you all for what you are doing! And for a lovely lunch, and for being such a Blessing to your community. 🥰

We finally were able to stop by for lunch. Wonderful cafe. Volunteers are very helpful and explained everything to us. Food was really delicious - especially the soup! You pay either the suggested donation or a bit more or you volunteer. Great idea - everyone eats!

Love the atmosphere and mission of this place! From the staff consisting mostly of volunteers, to them never turning down a plate to anyone regardless of money, to their daily menu change, it’s a place to visit in Boone.

Pay it forward when you go and purchase a plate chip for someone who may be in need of lunch!

Pictured is their homemade hummus 🙂 delicious!
