🏳️‍🌈 The countdown is officially on for Pride 2026, and we need your help! 🏳️‍🌈

For our 2026 Pride month events, we want to donate all profits from cafe-organised events to a deserving LGBTQ+ charity, so we’re on the lookout for your suggestions!

As a community cafe, it’s really important to us that the money goes to a charity that has a direct impact on the q***r community. Who better to help us choose than the community itself?

🗣️ Comment below with which LGBTQ+ charities you’d like to see the profits go to and why.

Hello! 👋

I’m Rosalía, and my pronouns are they/them. I love coffee, I have two cats, and I just started my journey as an artist! Outside work, I spend too much time watching animation and being in denial about adulthood.

If you find me in the wild, I’m just probably looking at a bird.

Come say hi next time you’re in!

Ro 💛
