Teaching kids to play with knives and fire, Cafe Momentum’s Pittsburgh location set to open in March

New among the Mexican chain restaurants, locally loved sandwich sellers and bustling bars, a new eatery is set to open its doors in early March in Downtown’s Market Square. Located at 268 Forbes Ave., Cafe Momentum’s restaurant and community center are accessible by nearly every bus line, a factor that the restaurant prioritized for its staff. 

Its staff is at the forefront of this fine dining establishment because, unlike the surrounding businesses, or any other business in Pittsburgh, Cafe Momentum’s staff is made up of youth involved in the justice system. 

Teenagers ages 15 to 19 can participate in a yearlong paid internship program at Cafe Momentum where they’ll learn all areas of the restaurant, legal employment, social skills and life skills.
