About the restaurant

Cafe Momentum is a non-profit restaurant that serves as a paid post-release internship for juvenile offenders. Youth are released from detention into the sheltered environment of Café Momentum’s post-release program. Café Momentum’s program teaches critical skills that allow youth to re-enter society in a safe, real-world environment of nurturing accountability. By participating in our program, at-risk young people rotate through every aspect of the restaurant from waiting tables to washing dishes, while working side-by-side with established chefs.

The paid internship gives them the opportunity to exercise and practice their new skills while continuing to develop leadership, social, and vocational skills for as long as they choose to maintain involvement with Café Momentum. Additionally, Café Momentum works with the Dallas County Juvenile Justice Department to serve youth deemed highest risk for incarceration.

We love DB&B. This was one of the first restaurants we ate at when we moved here and it is still our favorite. The chef has great instincts about beer, wine, drinks and food. There’s great variety and the rotating specials keep us coming back. The noise level is not too high and they play great music at a low level so it’s not an annoyance.

The pizza night is very good, you get to taste 6 different pizza cooked in stone pizza oven, salad and dessert are included. The best part is that Sarah seats you at a long table so that you have new friends to meet and enjoy the meal with. We have been twice now, we actually live in Bristol so a five minute drive. This is a hidden gem in Bristol. Beautiful grounds and very well maintained. It is worth the drive to our little town of Bristol.
