Our Solution: What Geek Cafe Does

“By bringing people together to learn about tech, we’re creating a friendlier community while earning money through repairs, teaching, and partnerships.”

Affordable Tech Repairs

At Geek Cafe, we believe that everyone deserves access to reliable technology. That’s why we offer affordable repairs for computers, laptops, and mobile devices. Whether it’s a broken screen, a faulty battery, or a software issue, our expert team is here to help. We provide quick, professional, and cost-effective solutions to get your devices back up and running.

Skills Workshops For Community

In today’s digital world, having basic tech skills is essential. Our Skills Workshops are designed to help people of all ages and backgrounds feel confident using technology. From writing emails and navigating the internet to online safety and file management, our hands-on workshops cover the skills you need to thrive in a digital society.

Device Upcycling

Did you know that millions of devices are thrown away each year, even though many can be repaired and reused? At Geek Cafe, we’re on a mission to reduce e-waste and bridge the digital divide through our Device Upcycling Program. We collect unwanted or broken devices, refurbish them, and distribute them to low-income families, schools, and community groups.

Abdul built me a new computer after my old one finally crashed. Really happy with my new machine and such a nice helpful man. Geek Cafe also take old computers to refurbish which has saved me a trip to the recycling centre and contributed to a good
cause
