541 Eatery Exchange - Hamilton

The restaurant has a wonderful pay-it-forward program for customers who cannot afford a full meal, where they can contribute towards their own meal using a button. Additionally, they serve delicious vegan-friendly soup and dessert options for lunch.

I have eaten at this restaurant several times both before and after transitioning to a vegan diet. The ambiance is wonderful, and they have a fantastic community program in place to help those in need buy meals with the "button" system. The food is consistently fresh, and every meal I've had has been delicious.

I had a great experience at this restaurant! It is a shared kitchen space so it may not be completely safe for those with celiac disease, but they do have a dedicated gluten free toaster and made sure to keep my food separate. I ordered the breakfast platter with eggs, bacon, gluten free toast, and home fries, which was delicious. I was also impressed by their community involvement - they offer buttons for $1 each that can be placed in a jar to "pay it forward". Customers can use these buttons to receive food if needed. As someone with celiac disease, I appreciate the effort they make to provide safe options for those who may not have control over their food in other settings like shelters.

Amazing serving free food to those in need as well as a regular menu with very fairly priced items. Amazing idea and the owners should be proud of themselves.

Great people great food.Had a stroke and on a very strict tight budget.Thx for places like this . I can still go out and eat a decent meal at a fair price
