About Hostel Cafe

The cafe connects a neighborhood gathering place with a hostel that has grown across several buildings on one block. Guests can start with bagels, Cascadia coffee or Smith tea, while the wider food menu supports a longer meal. Its group program also offers catering by arrangement for travelers visiting together.

Visitors can meet friends for a meal, listen to local musicians or join a soccer viewing event. Check the event calendar when choosing a night: an open mic, music jam or match changes the experience. For an organized gathering, the team accepts inquiries about reserving the Commons or courtyard.
