The Bennington Community Café is a pay-what-you-choose pop-up restaurant open from 1:30pm - 3:00pm Saturdays at 200 Pleasant St. in Bennington, inside of St. Peter's Episcopal Church Parish Hall.
Each week volunteers prepare and serve warm, homemade meals from a unique menu offering. Guests are treated to live music performed by the Café Players, an always-growing group of musicians who are connected through the Café. Art activities and games are always happening during Café sessions and everyone is welcome to indulge their creativity.
Guests are also encouraged to go shopping upstairs at the Black Cat Boutique, Presented by the Bennington Community Café. The boutique follows the same pay-what-you-choose model as the Café menu and all items are donated by volunteers, community members, and generous community partners.
All are welcome at the Café, no questions asked! Stop by as a guest or talk to an organizer about volunteering! Send a message to our Facebook page, or to benningtoncommunitycafe@gmail.com
