The Little Social are social enterprise cafés powered by Youth Projects brewing the finest espresso and serving nutritious food across Melbourne, including in Hosier Lane. Their purpose is simple – to empower young people to lead meaningful lives, and everything they do centres around this purpose.

You can also sprinkle kindness into someone else's day by paying-it-forward initiative to purchase coffee for someone experiencing homelessness.
