Retro Lane Café

Providing front row views to QEII Square, this fresh and eclectic space offers great food at affordable prices, café and lounge seating, workshop spaces for hire, a chill-out space with access to great technology and library collections and a wide range of programs for young people.

Retro Lane Cafe supports social enterprise activities, sourcing environmental and ethical Vegware packaging that is vegetable based and compostable, with a strong focus on separating waste and recycling. The cafe is also aligned with Love Food Hate Waste and the Trim Bin Program.

The cafe aims to make a social difference to young people. This includes programs such as regular Friday night gigs, school holiday and after school programs, homework and study assistance, arts and performance workshops, resume writing, job seeking skills and much more.

Our drop-in approach is an integral component of the cafe, a safe space where young people can meet, access information and technology, read or borrow materials and simply hang-out.
