Café con Cariño | 528 8th Street, Oakland

Event Details

Free Coffee, Good Convos, and Café Culture The Way We Grew Up.

There’s no nametags, no presentations, no lectures, panels, or icebreakers. It’s just coffee, convo, and culture. We’ll pull a topic from a hat to nudge things forward. But overall, it’s just a daytime space for meeting people, being in community with each other, and building our toolkits and support networks to get through all of life together.

Come through, family! Every 3rd Saturday.

We know LGBTQ+ folk have many options for parties and events. So we made a space where sitting, talking, and getting to know people in the morning & afternoon is part of your options.

We’ll have a limited menu of items that we’ll cover, so get there early to get your free coffee!

Here are the basic details:

Café con Cariño

3rd Saturdays

11am – 1pm

Free Coffees until we run out!

This is an 18+ LGBTQ+ space.

See you there, family! 

Disclaimer: Please double check event information with the event organizer as events can be canceled, details can change after they are added to our calendar, and errors do occur.
