What User doesn't like about Refuse Café:
very friendly Zero waste café where they pay what they feel for their eating. when we visited, we ordered a roasted veg agitator in Pitta-Brot to take away what was really delicious. they are even through a few sweet potato wedges. beautiful that such a risk exists and I hope that it will continue to be good.
