The Dock Café

The Dock Cafe relies on donations - the coffee, fresh buns and hot soup are offered from local suppliers with no price tag - just faith in the goodness of people and trust. You can even bring your own food! The cafe was furnished completely through donations of furniture, artwork, sculpture and shipyard memorabilia, creating a funky, eclectic atmosphere full of talking-points and conversation starters. Everyone involved is a volunteer - many of them local residents and students from the college who enjoy being part of building community life in their new home.
