Hush Hour at Cafe Stepping Stone

 Need a breather or a soft place to land during a busy week? Step into Hush Hour – a slow, cozy gathering where connection doesn’t come with pressure.

Whether you’re curled up with a book, knitting a scarf, or jumping into a board game with a new friend, this is your space to relax, recharge, and just be.

The activities may be traditionally “quiet,” but at Hush Hour, you are heard and warmly welcomed just as you are. Come solo, come curious, and delight in warm drinks, sweet treats, and the kind of connection that lingers.

How does it work?

Connect in your own way –  Hush Hour is where you can build connections over a warm drink and any activity you like – books, puzzles, knitting, pokemon – you name it! If you have a certain game or craft project you’d like to share we’d love for you to bring it along! If not, no stress our CBR Gals Volunteers will be setting up some fun activities. 

Cosy Cafe Setting – Step into a space designed for comfort and connection. Soft lighting, gentle chatter, and the aroma of fresh-baked treats set the scene for an afternoon of simple joys. 

Delectable Cakes & Warm Drink – Enjoy a selection of sweet items made with love in Stepping Stones very own kitchen and a complimentary warm drink (coffee, tea, alternative latte or hot chocolate).

Whether you’re a seasoned CBR Gal or it’s your first time, this is your chance to walk away with more than just memories—you’ll find your people.

Your ticket includes a sweet item (Gluten-free and Vegan available – Let us know at Check-out), a warm drink, and an afternoon of camaraderie and connection. Come ready to embrace the magic of this incredible network.
