About 12 Baskets Cafe:

You are invited to 12 Baskets Café, where community and compassion come together. Mondays and Thursdays from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM they’re open for sit-down meals. Every Tuesday and Friday grab to-go meals and assorted groceries from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Join them for coffee, conversation, and community in our garden beginning at 10:00 AM on the days they are open.

Everyone is welcome to share in the abundance of rescued food at 610 Haywood Rd, West Asheville.

The cafe is a gathering space for people from all walks of life – those experiencing physical hunger, those seeking a sense of belonging, and those eager to contribute. At API, they hunger for community, and the cafe reflects this shared feast of food and good company in a “by-donation” style.

Contribute in ways that resonate with you, whether through cash or monthly donations, helping with dishwashing or serving, or assisting in post-lunch cleanup. Everyone is greeted warmly and invited to the table. Donations are appreciated to cover rent and materials.

At 12 Baskets Cafe, they receive donations of high-quality, surplus food from local businesses and the food service industry. These donations, which would otherwise go to waste, are collected by API companions and repurposed for sharing.

Join us on the 3rd to assist in fostering a community where everyone has a seat at the table.
