About the Venue: A Place at the Table

A Place at the Table was started in 2015 with a mission to provide community and good food to all, regardless of means.  

Maggie Kane, founder and executive director, grew up volunteering at soup kitchens. She went because her mother wanted her to know what it’s like to serve others. After 20+ years of volunteering, Maggie found that soup kitchens are so different from her own life experience. She wondered why she gets to eat what she wants, with who she wants to and for how long she wants to while those experiencing homelessness do not.  

Maggie realized that she needed to do something about this problem, we needed to soup kitchen 2.0 our town. 

In 2018, our flagship cafe opened in downtown Raleigh. A Place at the Table is Raleigh’s first pay-what-you-can cafe! The best part is that when you walk in, it looks like a regular restaurant, you wouldn’t know we are a nonprofit. And it’s working!


Venue Details

Welcome to A Place at the Table. We are a nonprofit cafe where everyone is invited to join us for a wonderful dining experience — regardless of means. We are confident your breakfast, brunch or lunch experience will exceed your tastebud’s expectations and add a go-giving smile to your day. Our hope is that you will leave our special cafe with a full belly and open heart. And that you will tell others about the cafe and how they can also “vote with their dollars” to be a part of building a strong community.
