    How lucky that I stumbled on to this place. I was charging my EV and wanted to grab a bite. It was across the lot from me, so decided to try it out. Delicious Italian grilled cheese!!! So tasty. Then when I learned of Cafe 180s mission I was so impressed and moved. Anyone would’ve paid $12+ for this sandwich. I gave $10 & I hope it helps. It would be great if there were more locations to support communities in need. Thank you!

    Cafe 180 is a remarkable place doing remarkable work in our community. Their business model is built around the belief that everyone deserves a warm, nutritious meal regardless of their ability to pay. You can pay what you feel is fair, pay it forward to the person behind you or pay for your meal by volunteering. I’ve known of this joint but seldom on this side of town during their business hours. What a perfect day for a grilled cheese and a cup of soup— sun hasn’t come out all day and it’s been raining on and off since last night. Food was tasty, service was friendly. People from all walks of life in here for lunch today. Can’t wait to come back!

    Simply put, we need more places like Café 180 in the world. This concept is absolutely beautiful and I feel absolutely honored to have such a caring cause so close to home. I got the Mediterranean pita and it was absolutely delicious. I will definitely be back and encourage everyone to give this spot a shot and help our local community!!

    Here for the 2nd time & thought I’d leave a review. The first time I came here I got this warm Turkey sandwich with herbed Mayo and roasted tomatoes. It was so good that I recreated it at home several times since. I told my 10-year-old daughter about the fact that people can pay what they can, how people can eat for free and how the food was surprisingly good. She’s been asking to come for weeks and we’re here now. Drove 20 mins out of the way to get here. She’s most impressed with the oatmeal chocolate chip cookie (it’s really good 🤤). I’m most impressed with how clean it is in here. The open kitchen is really nice. I appreciate the transparency. The apple, walnut, balsamic salad was so good! Each time I paid what I could, making it very affordable, but I wanted to be reasonable. My kid donated her $2 :) Just a wonderful concept over all.

    Recently after relocating to Colorado, I sought meaningful ways to engage with my new community and happened upon Cafe 180. Intrigued by their mission and operational model, I decided to dedicate a few hours volunteering, which unveiled a truly inspiring environment to me. This establishment not only serves great meals that surpass regular dining options but also caters to individuals who may not always have the means to pay. In my brief time there, it was apparent that a significant number of guests were enjoying meals despite their inability to pay, reflecting an amazing and sustainable model crafted thoughtfully by those behind Cafe 180. The real… is not only the delivery of such services but managing to incorporate volunteers, like myself, seamlessly into their operations. Specific love/cheers to Suzanne - both of them! - Thomas, and D, for not only welcoming an untrained volunteer into their kitchen with open arms and radiant smiles but also allowing me to be a part of their incredible mission. I am enthused to continue lending a hand here, aspiring to learn their processes to become progressively helpful in the kitchen, though I find solace knowing that if all else fails, my dishwashing skills will always be of use. Cafe 180 is not only a beacon of community service but a place where my time and efforts are utilized to support an uplifting and noble cause, and I am eager to contribute in any capacity.

    I walk by this restaurant almost every day. I've never stopped in to eat however, the patrons whom are utilizing the exchange aspect, always look uplifted as they exit the establishment. I don't need to go in to know this place is beyond special. Keep warming hearts and tummies y'all. Good stuff. Thank you for making an impact on those who need a little love now and then.

    Wow! So caught by surprise. It's a pet peeve of mine when an online menu doesn't have prices. I call in and realize it's a non profit. I only payed $10 for my meatball sub as I didn't know the quality I was gonna get and I still would need lunch if I didn't like it. $10, they probably made some money on. But, then realized how many homeless were being fed. I should have put more down. I've had better meatball subs but, have definitely had worse. Gonna get a salad next time. They looked great! Thank you for serving the community.

    Seriously one of the best service experiences, and concepts ;) Not to mention the best grilled turkey sandwich I've had in a while, made with lots of love. We showed up at 2, unaware they closed at 2, they served us, and let us stay without anything but smiles. I will definitely continue to pay it forward.

    First time visiting Cafe 180 and I am impressed. The food is excellent. The staff is kind, friendly & helpful. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming & relaxed. Highly recommend if you want to help the community & if you are part of the unsheltered community, a great place to get a meal without fear of being harassed or judged.

    Best place to volunteer and get an inexpensive and delicious meal. Gives back to the community. You can also volunteer your time to be fed if you don't have money. Check them out!

    Still, no more can I come here with my heart. Though more fuel for Fornevermore.

    None profit. Loved how nice the people that donate their time and how they ask only for a donation for their food. If you have no money for the food. They ask only for you to donate your time.
