Event overview

Flux Café is a recurring, open-format gathering built around coffee, conversation, and a space that’s easy to step into.

Stop by for a bit or settle in for a while—whatever fits. This month, the gathering expands across both indoor and open-air space, with heat outside and a warm indoor option throughout.

Coffee and tea are part of the experience, but not the focus. They’re simply there to give people something easy to share.

You don’t need to know anyone to show up. There’s no set agenda.

Just come by, grab a coffee, and spend a little time.

Your Place

Cumberland Community Cafe

Cumberland Community Cafe is a welcoming, pay-what-you-can café built on the simple idea that good food and good company should be accessible to everyone. Warm, community-centered, and grounded in dignity, it’s a space where neighbors gather, connect, and share a table.

This month’s setup includes both indoor and open-air space, so it stays flexible without losing the same relaxed feel.

What you can expect

Comfortable shared tables built for conversation

Coffee and tea available throughout

Indoor and open-air space with room to move naturally

Guidance available if you want it — never required

Space to linger, talk, or just enjoy being there

No rotations, no loud icebreakers, no spotlight moments.

Typical arrival

You can take a minute to orient, grab a seat inside or outside, and ease into the space. Conversation usually grows naturally from there.

Event overview

Coffee & Community is an activity-first gathering designed to make connection feel natural. You’ll find shared tables, warm drinks, and a calm rhythm that makes it easier to settle in.

The point is the experience — brew coffee or tea, enjoy the process, and let conversation happen when it happens. There’s no emphasis on expertise, tasting notes, or doing things “right.”

A coffee guide is present to explain the different brewing options and answer questions as they come up — helpful support without turning the room into a class.
