Driving: There is plenty of parking in the neighborhood - as its a Sunday we can also legally park in the BART Lot!
Accessibility: There is a ramp to enter Red Bay coffee and no steps once you’re inside. There will be a DJ playing music and the talking/noise level ends up being pretty elevated. There are tables at regular height and bar height to sit and stand at. Please reach out if you have any specific concerns.

QSN Mission:
Our mission is to strengthen local queer communities across the country through sharing space, sharing food and contributing to something bigger than ourselves. We believe that we are strongest when we are joyful and generous, together.

Founded 2017 in Brooklyn by Liz Alpern, each event raises money for a community org, highlights the talent of queer chefs, and nourishes our community by gathering in an atmosphere of authentic inclusiveness.

Started in Oakland in March 2019, QSN Oakland has hosted 4 events raising over $9,000 total for Bay Area LGBTQ and food justice focused non-profits. And we're just getting started.
