About the Kindness Kitchen

It's a little bit different! Where else asks you to make your own drink? But we are part of a bigger community working towards kindness.

We are a minimal waste kitchen using, where possible, locally sourced seasonal, organic or agroecological grown foods.

We love to collaborate with other small businesses & companies with similar values of kindness towards our planet, its people & all living beings.

p.s. we are also happy to make your drinks for you if you'd prefer!

About The Good Heart

Not just a cafe, but a community space to help us all be more kind.

We are a volunteer-led community group that focuses on kindness as a way to encourage health and happiness & alleviate loneliness and isolation in Frome. We do this by:

* Offering free hot drinks & affordable meals in our pay-it-forward cafe
* Hosting a range of 'well-being spaces', events & Llike-minded groups
* Coordinating the annual Frome Kindness Festival

In 2023 The Good Heart was awarded BBC Radio Somerset Community Group of the Year.

Pay-it-forward
