Frequently asked questions
- No experience is needed! We provide full training in kitchen skills, food hygiene, front-of-house, and barista work.
- There’s always a paid chef, barista, and Kitchen Porter on shift to support you, plus someone managing the front of house.
- If you already have experience or love cooking/baking, that’s a bonus—but not expected.
- No need to worry about handling cash—our systems are electronic (like an iPad), so it’s super simple.
- For your first few shifts, we’ll buddy you up with an experienced female volunteer to help you settle in.
- Our volunteers are women aged 17+ who are based in and around Dundee.
- Sometimes we have a waitlist to keep a good balance of ages, backgrounds, and experiences.
- We also welcome volunteers through referrals from our partner organisations.
- Right now, we have around 32 amazing women, aged 17 to 81, from Scotland, England, Ireland, Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Turkey, Ukraine, and Kenya.
- We’re a meat-free and alcohol-free café, creating a welcoming and inclusive space for all.
- We ask our amazing women volunteers to commit to at least one shift per week. Some volunteers do one shift a week, while others pick up a few, depending on what works for them.
- Shifts are available on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, or Monday between 9am – 5pm.
- You can pick a regular weekly slot or mix it up each week—our rota is flexible and changes weekly!
- No need to do a full day—our shifts are just 2 - 4 hours long.
- We’ve found that regular volunteering is the best way to build confidence and skills, and we’re here to support you along the way!
- Join a supportive community of women from around the world, with social events to meet new people and build friendships.

- Access our 8-week employability programme (90 minutes per week), covering CV building, presentation skills, interview prep, and more, delivered by one of our corporate partners.

- And of course—you get to enjoy our delicious bakes, drinks, and food!
- A member of our team will be in touch with you within the week to arrange a meeting at the café.
- Please be aware that it is not possible to progress every application we receive.
