Our Waterloo CafE
Small Change Big Effect
The Freedom Hub Cafe in Waterloo Sydney, is an urban escape where you will instantly feel freedom from daily pressures. Our ethical cafe makes you feel at home immediately with its chic French industrial styling, luscious lounges, comfy cushions and various sitting areas for chatting with friends and enjoying an ethical coffee and lunch.
We have a range of table sizes from 10 seater share tables to intimate tables for 2. Our space is suited to a variety of occasions, whether you’re a digital nomad wanting a space to work for the day with power and free wifi, a mothers group looking for a space with a play area or you have a business meeting that requires AV support, all are welcome and we have plenty of space to accommodate all.
For businesses that are looking for a space for meetings or small to medium weekday events, we have a private area at the back of our cafe which has been utilised by many businesses for meetings, development days, presentations and work lunches. We also love hosting groups of up to 60 people on conferences or training days who are looking for a venue to move to for their meal breaks. The space is economically priced as our cafe is open at the same time and we can provide food and drinks for breakfast, morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea along with all the coffee and tea you need.
We love to make being an ethical consumer and fulfilling your social procurement needs easy! 100% of café profits supporting survivors of modern slavery./em>
