Our Name

Café One Eight is located at 18 West Orange Street, hence the One Eight.

We have also adopted the verse in Acts 1:8

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth”.

Based on our faith in Jesus Christ and a love for what He has called us to, we strive to make Café One Eight a place where everyone feels welcome and receive a touch of the love we have been given.

The heart behind our business.

In the food we create and the relationships we build.
