Connection
We are a non-profit cafe helping our neighbours overcome the impacts of isolation, poverty, and injustice by cultivating a community of mutuality and a space for connection.
Community
Every week, you help serve hundreds of meals. Our pay-it-forward system empowers the community to welcome and care for others inclusive of their circumstances, identity, and status.
Good Food
We are rooted in the belief that everyone deserves access to good food. We are a welcoming space, located in Barton Village, serving wholesome, delicious, and affordable breakfast, lunch, treats, and coffee.

“Many happy memories of 541 ❤️ One morning my son (then 6 years old) and I popped in for breakfast. After we had ordered and sat down with our meals, he told me the jar was empty. I gave him some money to go up and buy some buttons. After he came back to sit down, a woman came up to our table to thank him and told him because of him she would get to eat today. Thankful 541 provides opportunities to dine with our neighbours and make sure their plates are full. Happy 10th anniversary!”

“You guys helped me and my husband many times when we were homeless and starving. Such amazing memories. Was so nice to feel dignified in a clean environment, being served by amazingly sweet staff & eating delicious food even though we were homeless. BLESS THIS PLACE.”
