Repair Cafe at UCI

Repair Cafe at UCI

Come join us for a fun and eco-friendly event at the UCI ANTrepeneur Center! Our Repair Cafe is the perfect place to bring your broken items and get them fixed for free. Whether it's a wonky toaster or a wobbly chair, our skilled volunteers are here to help. Enjoy a cup of coffee while you wait or learn a thing or two about fixing things yourself. Let's reduce waste together and give your belongings a new lease on life. See you there!

Buy a ticket based on the time when you plan to arrive. Please be considerate of how long you expect the repair to take. We will not accept any new items after 12:30 PM.

Who we are:

We are a group of UCI students and local volunteers with a diverse set of hands-on skills. Our volunteers help the local community repair their broken items to reduce waste and promote sustainable consumption in and around UCI!
