Seva Cafe - Where Your Meals Are Free!

Seva Café is an experiment in the shared joy that comes from humble giving and selfless service. Our wholesome meals are cooked and served with love by a dedicated team and volunteers and offered to our guests as a genuine gift, paid for in full by previous guests.
As more participate in the joy of giving, the more the experiment thrives. It begins with a single gift: first given, then received... multiplied, and given again, in a growing chain of kindness and care. We hope this Circle of Giving leaves our guests feeling more nourished, and inspired to carry the experiment forward.

All costs and income are made transparent, and profits are used to support social service projects.

Seva Cafe is based on the pay-it-forward or gift economy. Your meal has been paid for by someone, you will be paying for the next patron. 
The difference is in the service: food served with love turns the atmosphere into one of a home full of guests.
