Most of us lead pretty hectic lives, making sitting down for a leisurely meal with lively conversation a treat rather than the norm. And, when we do find the time to go out for a meal, we often indulge in good conversation with those at our table. But, what about the other diners? This pay-what-you-can/pay-it-forward restaurant near Pittsburgh, one of the first of its kind in the area, offers diners an opportunity to get to know each other while indulging in a delicious meal that’s affordable for everyone.
Knead Community Cafe in downtown New Kensington is all about making sure everyone enjoys a hearty meal in a cozy, family-like atmosphere - regardless of their ability to pay.
The eatery, which also features outdoor patio dining during the warmer months, welcomes guests to pay what they can or to pay it forward. Those who can't afford to pay typically volunteer their time at the restaurant.
On a cold Pittsburgh day, start your meal with a piping hot bowl of wedding or French onion soup. Or, start with a crisp, fresh salad, such as the house salad or the autumn harvest salad.
Sit down to a delicious meal and lively conversation at Knead Community Cafe, open Tuesday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
