When is the cafe open?

We are regularly open as a cafe on Mondays, Tuesdays & Thursdays, from 7 to 11pm. On Fridays the Cafe is opened by the Lesbian Association of India all day (10am - 11pm) . For more, check our Regular Openings and Events pages.

What do you serve?

We serve tea, coffee, light snacks and homemade cake. All our food and drink are vegetarian and ethically sourced as much as possible. We're constantly looking for ways of expaning the menu. If you'd like to bake, or share a recipe, get in touch, or, better, sign up as a volunteer!

What do you do with the profit?

Profit..? What profit? Currently, the money we take goes towards maintaining and expanding the project - the majority paying council tax.

I'd like to volunteer. Where do I start?

Simply register using the form of the left pane! Then once you have logged in, you can sign up for waiter, baker or cleaning roles for events and regular openings. Don't hesitate to get in touch by e-mail or come along to the cafe to see how it works.

I'm not a student. Can I still volunteer?

Of course! We'd like to be as much a whole community resource as possible.

Can I organise an event in the cafe?

The cafe is bookable for events most of the time during weekdays, and some weekend evenings. Check that the date and time you would like to hold your event is available for booking, then get in touch with our Events Working Group (soc-cafe-eventsXXXlists.cam.ac.uk (where XXX stands for @)).

Can I book the cafe for my private party?

Our policy is that events happening in the cafe, especially in the evening, should be open to everyone, therefore it isn't possible to hold entirely private events.

I'd like to get involved in Cafe Project management and organisation. Where do I start?

Come to a general meeting! They are open to anyone who wants to help & happen every one or two weeks on a weekday early evening. They should be posted on the website and the announce list, though this is not always the case.

Sign up to our "discuss" mailing list to take part in general discussions about management and organisation. Once you have subscribed, you can send a message to soc-cafe-discussXXXlists.cam.ac.uk (where XXX stands for @) to introduce yourself and to indicate what you would like to do - maybe join one or more of our working groups.

I have a question that is not answered here. Who should I ask?

Please e-mail soc-cafe-communicationsXXXlists.cam.ac.uk (where XXX stands for @) with any general questions.
