Cafe del Mondo

We opened Cafe del Mondo in 2009. It started out as a cafe with a multicultural menu serving freshly prepared food using organic and free-trade produce. We also put on live music events, story telling, cinema, debates, and comedy nights. In July 2011 we moved premises to the Craft Village which offered larger premises, and started to open as a restaurant in the evenings.

The cafe operates on a non-profit basis and re-invests all profits into the SEEDS charity.
