What we offer
Our menu varies daily according to the food we source, but we always have a selection of cakes and pastries, sandwiches, toasties, vegetarian options, omlettes, and hot meals. We also have loads of different teas and cold drinks.
We host lots of activities in the cafe, such as our weekly art class as well as special dinners and cultural nights. Check our social media pages for information and updates.

Our food is prepared to the highest standard in our cafe kitchen and served fresh daily. We source surplus food from supermarkets and other providers, but don’t worry – everything is safe to eat and delicious. We would never feed you anything that wasn’t edible and we take food hygiene very seriously. We are compliant with food hygiene and safety requirements, if you’d like to learn more please speak to our team.
We want to create a space where everyone is able to enjoy a nutritious meal so please speak to our staff if you would like to receive a free meal.

Reviews
Don’t just take our word for it, read what others have to say!
It’s a great space. It also serves as a meeting space. A place of reassurance for people. I find the staff helpful + courteous. It’s a growing place for people. Long may it remain.
Whoop Whoop, this café is a beautiful, spiritual space, full of love! Plus the food + drinks are top top top. We will make it our community stop off
This is such a lifesaver with the economy the way it is. I recently lost my job, and being able to come here and get food no questions asked is a relief. Thank you to the volunteers.
