From the venue: "Cypher Cafe celebrates a Black Central District. Powered by a collective of black and brown artists and organizers, we have dedicated the last decade to building a home at Washington Hall for community grounded liberation work to take place through music, art, food and culture. We stand against the displacement impacts of gentrification and offer an accessible venue for events and gatherings held by marginalized communities.

Cypher Cafe is run by the WA not-for-profit Corporation, Black Power Unlimited, and manages the first floor of Washington Hall, spaces developed by The Hidmo Cypher, which includes the Lodge Room, Library, Cafe, Kitchen and Classroom.

We also sell delicious hot drinks and healthy home cooked foods. We encourage folks in the space to conversate and building community connections."
