Guide Prices

We operate on a Pay-as-you-feel (PAYF) basis. PAYF offers an alternative to the conventional payment system as there is no price on any produce of the café, we only charge set prices for coffee and some other drinks as we have to buy them in. It means that customers can pay with money, their time (helping in the cafe) or by offering a specific skill that could help us. All donations given go back into the community work of REFUSE.
