About this Death Cafe

"Accepting your own mortality is like eating your vegetables: You may not want to do it, but it's good for you." - Caitlin Doughty

What is a Death Cafe? We’re so glad you asked.

At a Death Cafe, people — often strangers — gather to drink tea, eat cake, and have open, honest conversations about death and dying. There’s no agenda, no pressure, and no lecture — just thoughtful, respectful dialogue about one of life’s most universal (and often avoided) topics.

Our purpose is simple: To increase awareness of death, so we can all make the most of our (finite) lives.

Held in the curious, cozy space of Odditeas, this monthly gathering offers a unique, welcoming environment for all, who often face distinct experiences around death, legacy, and chosen family. Whether you’re processing, exploring, questioning, or just curious, you belong here.
