About

Welcome to Community Living North Halton's Lunchbox Cafe & Catering! We are a unique full service cafe - open to the public - where adults with developmental disabilities(who are supported by CLNH) volunteer to learn a variety of skills while being supported by our experienced staff. Our volunteers learn hands on skills such as prepping food, serving customers, cleaning, restocking & taking customers orders. We also welcome students from local high school Life Skills programs to volunteer at our Cafe for their Co-op time to see if this is an industry they would like to pursue after graduation. We hope you will come by and enjoy our made to order meals, daily specials and made from scratch soups. We look forward to serving you!

The lunchbox cafe is run by Community Living and employs staff that would have difficulty finding work elsewhere. The food was very good, and the atmosphere was really nice. There is a nice menu with fantastic variety to suit anyone. They have a special that is very reasonably priced (everything was reasonably priced). What is really nice is they run a program for those who can't afford food. You can donate meals, and if you are in need, you can claim one of the meals that was prebought.

I just ordered 3 lunches for our company and honestly had the BEST and "freshest" Ham & Cheese sandwich ever. The cafe was spotless and the service was fantastic. One of our staff is already saying they are looking forward to their next meal from the Lunchbox Cafe. All details were perfect on our order. Will definitely return more often. Thank you to the great staff! You are all doing awesome!

Today was my first visit and I will be back and tell all my friends. The staff was wonderful and the food was delicious and well priced. My friends and I had a filling lunch and then splurged on sundaes and with tax and tip still spent far less than most other sit down restaurants or cafés. I cannot say enough good things about this place, absolutely wonderful!

This place is fantastic. Such a wonderful idea getting young persons with disabilities to work, building their confidence and allowing them to make money and feel a part of a team. Food is great and priced so well. Always a happy smile from the workers. Always happy to go have a great meal for such a good cause. Help support one of those rare businesses that strives to make our community better for all our citizens.
