Café Momentum serves more than just amazing food – it’s a non-profit dedicated to providing paid internships to justice-involved youth, offering them real-world restaurant experience and life-changing career opportunities.

CAFÉ MOMENTUM
Every server you meet is part of their program, and getting to see them in action makes the experience even more special. The space is elevated yet approachable, with big tables for groups and complimentary valet (which is a SCORE in Downtown Dallas!).
What started in Dallas has now expanded across the U.S., with locations in Atlanta, Pittsburgh, and Denver.
WHAT WE ORDERED
The food was genuinely delicious, packed full of flavor, and they offer a full bar with wine and cocktails!
We tried:
🥕 Coffee-rubbed carrots (our fav of the night)
🥗 Texas chipotle Caesar
🥬 Roasted Brussels sprouts
🐟 Pan-seared Gulf snapper
🥩 Coffee-rubbed NY strip steak
