About Us - Transforming Lives One Bite at a Time
Joining Restorative Partners dozens of other wraparound programs and services, The Bridge Cafe creates a community for justice-involved individuals to seek employment, gain empowered education, and enter the workforce in a supported, sustainable way. Simultaneously, The Bridge Cafe allows the community to change lives and engage in restorative practices in a simple way: by grabbing a bite to eat and meeting our staff.

- Quality Convenient Dining
Delicious food to gather around, whether grabbing to go or dining on our patio to admire the community artwork.
- Employment & Job Development
In partnership with Cuesta College's Culinary Arts Foundation, The Bridge Cafe provides paid experience for justice-involved individuals seeking a certificate of specialization in culinary arts. Upon completion of the program, Restorative Partners assists participants with finding culinary employment.

On a mission to Transform Lives Impacted by Crime through Healing Services & Relationships
Restorative Partners provides services and programs for those in-custody and for those released from the San Luis County Juvenile Hall, Jail, Honor Farm and State Prisons. Our restorative justice approach focuses on mind, body and spiritual transformation, incorporates trauma informed care, addresses responsibility and accountability, and offers accompaniment through reentry mentorship. We also provide clean and sober living homes for men and for women as well as own and operate a home for women who are ready to reunite with their children and move forward with their lives. The goal in all of our transformative work is to reduce violence and lower recidivism by providing a continuum of care from incarceration through reincorporation to our community.
