The world needs more cafes like this! Great location in downtown Durham, the cafe is incredibly warm and welcoming. There are also some comfy, well spaced outdoor seats if you want to get some fresh air. The service is on another level - just top notch. Coffee is fantastic. I also love this place because it doesnt feel as corporate and plastic as the chain cafes like Dunkin or Starbucks.

Absolutely lovely. Small and cozy, just off of the oval - one of those places introverts would retreat to on the regular as it’s normally quiet enough (tho does get busy and lively at times but passes the vibe check, esp. with the recent opening of open mics on Wednesdays). Best lattes in town, imo. They provide alternative milks for those who are vegan. I highly recommend trying their crepes, particularly the caprese salad crepe - I was skeptical at first but all the ingredients have been continuously so, so fresh that it makes your taste buds come alive with the balsamic glaze. The crepes are better than anything in Portsmouth. Would love to see them open further into the day so I can visit more outside of work. Plus, they support really important causes with their proceeds and are staple activists. ✨

This cafe has the best crepes! 😃😃 I was so happy as soon as I ate this crepe. This cafe with a friendly staff and a clean and nice atmosphere is really cool!

Volunteer based, verified fare trade sourced, working on recommended donations, great coffee, teas and kombucha, great music and vibe, and all proceeds go toward putting an end to human trafficking.

Do you like coffee, tea, milkshakes, chocolate, lattes, and more? The Freedom Cafe offers ethically sourced quality beverages at a reasonable price - all supporting ending human trafficking. The volunteers and staff are super friendly and helpful. Every Wednesday there is an open mic night that anyone can participate in; they are a perfect time to hang out with friends and having some drinks. Support a great cause and feel good doing it!

Good Japanese gyokuro green tea. One of the very few places where staff actually knows how to steep tea! Modest tea selection, but good quality.Plenty of seating in a comfortable hidden campus cafe sort of atmosphere.

Delicious crepes!

An excellent cup of coffee and excellent conversation with Mike as he made it.

Loved getting lattes from the Baristo Philanthropists!!! Great crew and a great cause.

Best coffee Ive ever had!

Im surprised I didnt already write this review! Owner was very informative and helpful. Kombucha was delicious and alcohol-free (a personal must) and atmosphere was very calm. You need to come here. Proceeds are for a fantastic cause.

How about a shot of social wokeness with your coffee or tea? This cozy little jewel, nestled on the edge of the University of New Hampshire campus, provides a laid back atmosphere, an attentive and caring staff, and excellent hot and cold beverages. Donations are the rule, justice the cause, and caring the key.

Small coffee place, all proceeds go to stop human traffic. Feels good to support them.

Best coffee in Durham.Super atmosphere.Admirable mission.

I just ordered matcha latte and it is good! I loved their Americano, too. They use quality teas. Really nice place to study and hang out with friends. Also you help the non profit cafe to fight human trafficking.

My friend volunteers at this place! i like it a lot, although when i went there it was kind of loud. the freedom cafe makes me happy

The atmosphere in this place is always so welcoming and peaceful. Staff are really sweet, coffee is strong and its a great place to get caught up on some work or catch up with friends over a game of cards..

Great staff. A super cute cafe and a cozy place to hangout. The open mic nights on Wednesday are a lot of fun!

Disclaimer: I volunteer here and know the owner. Honestly though, the quality is great and I cant think of a better cause.

This cafe supports anti-trafficking efforts in New Hampshire. As a natural born cynic, I am always suspicious of places that claim that thats the case, but in this case, I can confirm they are actively helping victims of trafficking and filling niches in provision that are not otherwise catered for. If youre in the area, go and support them.

Good coffee, and I know my money goes to a good cause

Such a wonderful place to get a coffee! Friendly staff and great cause!

A low key cafe vibe combined with a great menu and service all wrapped in a globally conscious mission leaves you satisfied on many levels.

Wonderful cafe with a thoughtful, challenging purpose. The coffee is excellent!

Great coffee for a great cause fighting human trafficking!

Love it. Safe and comfortable place to meet people and have some quiet time.

What’s not to like: great espresso, huge tea selection, and even a decent vegan chocolate chip cookie. AND it’s a non-profit working to end human trafficking

Hardly anywhere can you get a cup of coffee for two dollars these days, and never for this quality or to have one of those dollars going to end human trafficking! Best coffee shop in Durham, in my opinion. Located next to UNH campus and stacked with student volunteers. Très chic.

So excited to be able to try this!!

Best coffeeshop in the Seacoast. Insanely good coffee (rivals cups Ive had in Italy) brewed in one of 4 hipster-approved methods for optimal flavor & delicious teas of all kinds from White Heron. Everything is ethically-sourced, and by a reasonably-priced suggested donation that goes toward ending human trafficking. Cute ambiance with tables & chairs and couches in a spacious, sunny, casual room and nice coffeeshop music. Staff are friendly volunteers. Not many snacks available (chocolate bars, and a few baked goods) but they dont seem to frown on you bringing in your own snacks/meals if you buy a drink from them.Highly recommended. I rarely go to any other cofffeeshop.

Very good cross cultural connecting space

Great Community!

Great organic free trade coffee, and open mike night on Wednesday. All prfits go to fight against human trafficking.

I Love this place! Jesus Rocks!
