Eat. Drink. Change lives. Come check us out!

The Dallas-born nonprofit restaurant continues to grow. For interns like Anton, its place in the city means everything, "This has always been a part of me. I just had to be exposed."

with our Interns of the Week!

Za’Ray had an excellent first week as a server, embracing his new role with enthusiasm and a willingness to learn. He was eager to serve guests, took direction well and maintained a positive attitude throughout each shift. His attentiveness, growing confidence and desire to improve made him a valuable addition to the front-of-house team and set a strong foundation for continued success.

Fergie made an impressive transition into the pantry station during her first week. She came prepared to work, stayed attentive throughout service and maintained a great attitude while learning a new role. Her knowledge of the dishes and new menu allowed her to contribute with confidence. Open to coaching and always looking for ways to improve, Fergie continues to demonstrate the work ethic and professionalism that make her a dependable member of the kitchen team.

We are so proud of you both! Dallas, come for dinner Thursday-Saturday and let them practice their skills while enjoying some of the best cuisine our city has to offer!

So much more than a game. This was a core memory.

We had the privilege of experiencing one of the biggest matches on the planet thanks to FIFA World Cup and their generous ticket donation.

Seeing our young people soak in the energy of a global crowd? Priceless. Spending quality time with them outside of the restaurant? Pure joy. Hours of impact are what make our program successful. They are the secret ingredient to creating lasting change.

FIFA, thank you for being part of the dream yesterday.

A TIME was had last Friday. The food was delicious, but the vibes in the room…unmatched.

When Tamela Gill Davis asks for the DJ to queue up the electric slide, even the interns and Café Momentum staff make it to the makeshift dance floor.

Thank you for an incredible experience to everyone who was involved. The smiles say it all.

The party doesn’t stop here! In town for the World Cup? Reservations are open tomorrow-Saturday for dinner. Come see us!

Across three cities, the ball keeps moving. Same as it does in our kitchens and dining rooms every day. One team.

The world’s biggest soccer tournament is on. If you’re catching the games in Dallas or Atlanta, come pull up a chair. ⚽️
