Hey Caffriends - long time, no see! We have been hard at work so far this summer with many projects for the upcoming year. Today, our team was busy filming new volunteer training videos. Don't forget to look out for our volunteer sign-ups, which will be released in late August. ☕️

The day has come... today is the last day the cafe will be open until September! This year has been full-to-bursting with laughter, new projects, friendships, and of course, coffeeeee. We want to thank every single one of our volunteers from the 2017-18 year for their time, their energy, and their willingness to learn. We also want to thank our customers for their continual support and making our space the wonderful community hub that it is. We couldn't do ANY of this without our volunteers AND our customers! Pictured here are some Polaroids by 2017-18 volunteer (and incoming 2018-19 Arts Director!) @alishaarrow, featuring a handful of amazing faces from the huge and fantastic volunteer base at Caffiends this year.

Our exec Kiana's face when she learned that volunteers can make their own DIY TEA BLEND at tonight's Volunteer Social... Well, Kiana, the rumours are true! Volunteers, come destress with us at this BYOJ (Bring your own jar/container) tea-blending gathering in Caffiends tonight from 7-9 PM. We will be saying farewell to our outgoing co-manager Elaine and celebrating the fun we've had this year!

Happy Easter Weekend! Due to our Good Friday closure today, we missed our weekly dose of contagious laughter from our Friday morning opening shift volunteer, Mira. We will be back and beaming on Monday morning with abundant coffee and tea to send you on your journey towards exam season!

On Wednesday, current co-manager Elaine Ma presented former Caffiends co-manager Olivier Smith (Winter 2017-Fall 2017) with an esteemed Crescam Serviendo award in honour of the wholeheartedly devoted and relentlessly energetic work he has contributed to Caffiends. (We can guarantee that every Caffiends executive present at the awards ceremony was crying.) From the whole executive team and family of volunteers, we want to extend a congratulations and a thank-you to Olivier. We would be hard-pressed to find a volunteer who hasn't been touched by Olivier's welcoming and genuinely caring spirit. Best of luck to the one and only Oli as he moves on this year to smash the post-grad world of economics and politics! (Photos by another talented former co-manager: @hananikc.)

Hey Caffiends volunteers! There's just a bit over 24 hours left to apply for incoming executive (multiple positions) or co-manager (1 position) roles at Caffiends! Our team is always evolving and growing - so come be a part of this wonderful, over-caffeinated family! Find the links to the application forms in the volunteer Facebook page. We want to hear your ideas - go go go!

We are looking for mug donations! In recent weeks, we have noticed a greater number of our mugs leaving the cafe and not coming back. We encourage our volunteers and customers to make sure that they bring back their mugs after use - we also have a bin outside the cafe for after-hours mug returns. If you are moving out of residence this spring or simply doing some spring cleaning, please consider donating your extra mugs to us! You can receive a free coffee or tea (and/or good karma) in exchange for a mug. Spread the word!

All of us at Caffiends are hoping that the snow ends soon... but in the meantime, we're making the most of the hot-drink-season! Come by anytime until 7 PM today for a toasty beverage. Our top recommendation on this cold hump day? A tea latte with chai or lavender earl grey and a shot of vanilla!

Rarely will you find our co-managers taking a break from their dedicated and heartfelt work for Caffiends. Here, we caught co-manager Mira in her usual spot in the cafe - sending emails to suppliers and managing volunteers' needs! We want to take a moment today to thank our co-managers (past and present) for their ceaseless commitment to this miraculous student-run cafe. You're the best!
