Description
The venue is known, in part, for its employment of people with disabilities. Around half of its staff have a disability of some form.
It is a registered charity, and a form of social enterprise. It employs around 14 staff.
It is located in the suburb of Balaclava in the city's south-east, an area known for having many members of Melbourne's jewish community. It has a kosher menu. The cafe was founded by a number of well-known members of Melbourne's Jewish community, including Jonathan Wenig; a partner at Arnold Bloch Leibler. One of Wenig's daughters has autism, and his experience as a father in-part motivated his opening of the restaurant.
It also runs a community cafe at Princes Park Caulfield in association with the AJAX Junior Football Club.{{Cite web |last=Gardiner |first=Mia |title=Leading by example |url=https://www.australianjewishnews.com/leading-by-example/ |access-date=2023-06-27 |website=www.australianjewishnews.com |language=en-US}}
