About Me

Cafe Hours are: M/W/F 8am-5pm, & T/Th 8am-9pm. We host an Open Mic with Victory Music every Tuesday (sign up begins at 5:45pm) and Live Music shows every Friday night (doors re-open at 7:30pm)Q Cafe is an innovative, non-profit, cafe in Seattle featuring direct and fair trade STUMPTOWN coffees, loose leaf TEACUP teas, free WiFi, all-ages live music and art shows, and rental accommodations for small and large groups. In addition to our non-profit status, 10% of all sales go towards outside local and global causes! Since its inception from 2002, Q Cafe is making its mark. In addition to write-ups in the Seattle Weekly and the Seattle Times, it was also named one of the best independent cafes in the country by Worthwhile Magazine. It has hosted countless local musicians through shows in addition to national musicians such as Ginny Owens, Nickelcreek, Tyrone Wells, Chris Tomlin, and others. Every month, local artists adorn the walls with their expressions. Hundreds of homeless men and women have been helped through resources collected through the cafe. Two families were given an opportunity to be placed into permanent housing. Large amounts of money has been raised for causes like the Tsunami Fund, AIDS, Invisible Children, Mercy Corps, etc. The space is used by local businesses, neighborhood groups, churches, other non-profits, moms' group, and rented for all purposes - even weddings. Q Cafe is growing into a community presence...More info can be found on http://qcafe.org-------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------
