A TIME was had last Friday. The food was delicious, but the vibes in the room…unmatched.
When Tamela Gill Davis asks for the DJ to queue up the electric slide, even the interns and Café Momentum staff make it to the makeshift dance floor.
Thank you for an incredible experience to everyone who was involved. The smiles say it all.
The party doesn’t stop here! In town for the World Cup? Reservations are open tomorrow-Saturday for dinner. Come see us!

Across three cities, the ball keeps moving. Same as it does in our kitchens and dining rooms every day. One team.

It’s happening next week!
This Juneteenth, Café Momentum becomes Tamela Davis’s living room, and you’re invited to the table. The certified life coach, philanthropist and self-proclaimed foodie is opening her table to Dallas for one unforgettable night, reimagining Café Momentum as her personal living room, inspired by the magic of Nashville’s Michelin-recommended Tailor restaurant.
The evening unfolds like a night at Tamela’s home — cocktails and warm welcomes, followed by a multi-course Southern feast guided by Tamela herself, as she shares the memories, the women and the Mississippi roots that shaped her.
Come hungry. Leave nourished — in body and soul.
