Name Your Own Prices At The Tricklebee Café, A Pay-What-You-Can Restaurant In Wisconsin

If you’re going to eat out, you might as well eat out for a good cause, which is exactly what you’ll be doing when dining at Tricklebee Café. The café was established to provide healthy, affordable meals to all. One way the eatery accomplishes its goal is by allowing patrons to name their own prices – even if that means paying nothing. Read on to learn all about this charitable and charming café.

When craving an affordable, palate-pleasing meal, you can’t go wrong with a visit to Tricklebee Café in Milwaukee’s Sherman Park.

At first glance, it looks like your typical restaurant; however, it’s anything but.

A café with a cause, the eatery operates using a pay-what-you-can business model. So, instead of paying a pre-set price for a meal, diners simply drop donations in a bucket.

The pay-what-you-can concept not only ensures everybody has access to nutritious meals – regardless of their ability to pay – but it also minimizes food waste, so it’s a win-win!

Deciding what to pay can be a daunting task for some, which is why the menu lets customers know how much it costs to make each dish.

Speaking of the menu, it changes constantly, and that’s because it’s determined by which food donations are available.

And though each meal is different, practically every ingredient on the menu is vegan-friendly and gluten free. In the past, the fare has included creamy soups, hearty stews, salads, sandwiches, and wraps.

The pay-what-you-can method and ever-changing menu aren’t the only things that make the café unique, though. Meant to be a community gathering place, the café utilizes large dining tables, encouraging strangers to eat together.

Another unique feature of the café is that it greatly relies on support from the community. The eatery is run by the owner, a few hired staff, and a slew of volunteers.
