The place is run by homeless workers in turn for a fresh meal. The problem with the concept is they are homeless because they already do not work and would rather beg and steal.
The restaurant is open 15 hours. For the entire week. Let me say that again. The entire week, their “open hours” are 15 hours, total. Or that’s at least what the hours say. In reality they may be open 1 day a week for an hour at a time.
This place if a great referral for the mindsets of the bums on the streets.
As this is prime real estate, that is only getting busier, the city needs to remove this poor excuse of a restaurant and allow someone who will actually run a successful business here.

Recently after relocating to Colorado, I sought meaningful ways to engage with my new community and happened upon Cafe 180. Intrigued by their mission and operational model, I decided to dedicate a few hours volunteering, which unveiled a truly inspiring environment to me. This establishment not only serves great meals that surpass regular dining options but also caters to individuals who may not always have the means to pay.
In my brief time there, it was apparent that a significant number of guests were enjoying meals despite their inability to pay, reflecting an amazing and sustainable model crafted thoughtfully by those behind Cafe 180. The real… is not only the delivery of such services but managing to incorporate volunteers, like myself, seamlessly into their operations.
Specific love/cheers to Suzanne - both of them! - Thomas, and D, for not only welcoming an untrained volunteer into their kitchen with open arms and radiant smiles but also allowing me to be a part of their incredible mission. I am enthused to continue lending a hand here, aspiring to learn their processes to become progressively helpful in the kitchen, though I find solace knowing that if all else fails, my dishwashing skills will always be of use. Cafe 180 is not only a beacon of community service but a place where my time and efforts are utilized to support an uplifting and noble cause, and I am eager to contribute in any capacity.

First time visiting Cafe 180 and I am impressed. The food is excellent. The staff is kind, friendly & helpful. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming & relaxed. Highly recommend if you want to help the community & if you are part of the unsheltered community, a great place to get a meal without fear of being harassed or judged.
