About Café 54
Café 54’s highly acclaimed downtown location opened in 2004 and is a unique employment-training program for adults recovering from mental illnesses. This gives the Gardens an extraordinary opportunity to partner with another nonprofit to further both of their missions.

Café 54’s downtown location of 54 E Pennington Street has become a “destination site” for those who desire a fresh, made-from-scratch affordable American bistro meal while supporting a good cause.
