Since 2006, Caffiends has been providing tired Victorians with their much-needed caffeine fix. Caffiends finds its home in Old Vic, giving students the perfect place to study, catch up with friends, or even sneak in a quick nap on one of the wonderfully comfortable sofas. It’s run by a passionate and dedicated team of 120 volunteers and 15 executive members, including 2 co-managers. With the café’s 10th anniversary fast approaching, we look back on what makes Caffiends such a special fixture in Victoria College.
Caffiends’ mission is to promote environmental sustainability and ethical consumerism. The café serves fair trade coffee, uses biodegradable stir sticks, and partners with local coffee, tea and food suppliers with similar values.
Caffiends is famous for their drip coffee: it costs just $1 for a mug of any size!
Every year, Canadians send 1.6 billion paper and polystyrene coffee cups to landfills. Caffiends does their part to combat this by using only donated reusable mugs.
Perfect for tea lovers, Caffiends offers more than 20 varieties of tea, including Masala Chai, Chocolate Vanilla Maté, and Genmaicha.
Caffiends has also been making waves throughout the rest of the city. The café was featured on blogTO in 2014, and NOW Toronto included it in a list of restaurants to visit during TIFF.
