To me, Caffiends has always been more than just a cozy student-run & volunteer operated-cafe in the corner of Old Vic. It embodies a sense of community and belonging that is so important to find in what can otherwise be an overwhelming and isolating school. I can’t imagine what my undergrad journey would have been like without Caffiends and the support that comes from the community. I have met some of the brightest and kindest people at UofT while volunteering behind the bar or just by hanging out in the cafe space. The sustainability mandate, education and social justice initiatives, and volunteer base make it unique to other cafes not just across campus but also across the city, and I am so grateful for the chance to give back to the community as a Co-Manager.

Caffiends has given me a sense of belonging to U of T that I didn’t think was possible in such a large school. Coffee, community, and sustainable practices are all things that I value greatly and it’s so nice to see them all come together here in such a special way. Caffiends means so much to so many people - friendship, community, acceptance, a cozy place to do work, cheap (but good!) coffee, but above all else, Caffiends is much more than a cafe to most people - it’s home. To have the experience of being Co-Manager to such a well-loved place is a great honour and I’m thrilled to be here.
