Ada's Cafe is a non-profit, social enterprise that hires, trains and empowers adults with disabilities and others facing barriers to employment. We hope to improve the lives of our employees through work in our cafe and kitchen and by engaging with members of our community. Ada’s is committed to creating great food and bringing people together, even during the on-again, off-again shut dowsn and hi

storic pandemic. Ada's Cafe at the Mitchell Park Community Center is about to celebrate its 8th anniversary in 2021. Our motto has been, and continues to be, "Where Good Food and Community Meet." Pre-pandemic, Ada's Café was available for Catering events for every type of celebration or gathering from small dinner parties, cocktail parties, themed events and banquets for up to 400 guests. We had a very loyal following and hope that we will be able to resume that aspect of the business when it is safe for our guests, clients and our employees. At Ada's, we're serving more than just great food! We are building community, fostering understanding and giving the most marginalized members of our community an opportunity to belong and be provided an opportunity to develop their skills and earn a living.

🐊 Edwin’s here to share some fun facts about one of his favorite things… crocodiles!

We love getting to know our Ada’s team beyond the café—learning about their favorite hobbies, interests, activities, and the things they love to do and learn about when they’re not at Ada’s.

Today, Edwin is talking all things crocodiles and sharing some of his favorite facts about these incredible reptiles! 🐊💚

One of our favorite things about Ada’s is celebrating the passions, talents, interests, and personalities of the amazing people who make our community so special. ❤️

A little refresh is on the way! 🤍

Please note, Ada’s Cafe will be closed Friday, August 7 - Wednesday, August 12 as we give our space a little extra love with some pre-fall maintenance and updates.

We’re excited to welcome you back to a fresh, clean, and cozy cafe just in time for the back-to-school season.

We’ll reopen on Thursday, August 13, and look forward to seeing all of our wonderful customers back at Ada’s. Thank you for your patience and continued support—we’ll see you soon! 💚☕🥐

Happy Ted Lasso New Season!

Ada’s has Ted Lasso “Biscuits with the Boss “ in signature pink boxes to celebrate the new season which begins Wednesday, August 5! So excited!

These delicious shortbread bars, handmade with love in Ada’s kitchen, will be the perfect way to celebrate! 🙌

Kathleen’s fave Ted quote: “I believe in hope. I believe in believe.”  It’s also her favorite mug in the cafe.

We all need some Ted Lasso!

Hope to see you on Wednesday for Biscuits!💜
