A vibrant third space.
Located on the Damien Center Campus on East Washington Street, Cafe Oztara is a vibrant third space centered on providing a safe and sober environment for the LGBTQ+ community, Damien Center’s clients, and neighbors. Cafe Oztara will also provide opportunities for Damien Center clients to receive hospitality training and job skills to empower and support their new chapter and beginnings.
Previously home to Zonie’s Closet and Illusions, Cafe Oztara will continue to bring our community together by honoring our past, celebrating diversity, and most importantly, building a vibrant future.
