Cafe
Our cafe is a heart-warming place to catch up with friends or relax with a book.
We serve batch brew coffee, an excellent range of superb teas, other hot and iced drinks, and smoothies.
We also have a selection of baked goods made with love by our members. We always try to ensure that there are dairy & gluten-free options available.
All of our drinks can be made with dairy-free milk and ice cream.

In 2018, we started our Global Feast Saturday lunches to feature and support women from asylum-seeker and refugee backgrounds. We are proud of Global Feast because:
- Our cooks have the opportunity to generate a fair income.
- They become more connected to the Canberra community through this initiative.
- They can improve their English language skills and build their confidence.
- Their employment is flexible so that they can also meet their family commitments.
- The Canberra community is enriched by their presence and by their food—we are stronger with diversity.
