WHAT IS THE FREE CAFE??? The Free Cafe is a nomadic, open-air cafe that accepts suggestions in lieu of money.
The goal of The Free Cafe is to foster community and dialogue by inviting participants to take a little time out of their day to connect with friends, neighbors and strangers alike over a free cup of coffee or tea.

Cafe-goers are encouraged to submit anonymous suggestions, written on napkins and posted to a board for all to see. These personal messages range from comments about the cafe itself, to ways of improving the community, to aspirational recommendations on how to lead a better life.

The Free Cafe manifests in two forms. One is a full-service pop-up stand that moves from park to park across the city in an effort to reach as many people as possible from a broad cross-section of neighborhoods and demographics. The other, is a monthly gathering in a backyard in Leimert Park where all are invited to meet up for some coffee and conversation with friends and neighbors, old and new.
