About the café
Sit down and stay awhile – or pick up and go!
Our food is made fresh in our inclusive gluten-free and peanut-free kitchen. Vegetarian and vegan options are available.
We are a fair-wage employer, our team includes many people with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities. In October of 2021 we opened our café to provide Haligonians with high-quality, delicious, gluten-free food.
