Each café will have a unique theme and activity which could include playing games, engaging in conversations, and much more!
RSVP on WIN is required to eat!
Room capacity: 90 people
Even if RSVP is full, we encourage you to come and check out the event! Bring your own reusable containers and utensils to help us reach our sustainability goals. Disposable items will also be provided.
