Oxfam Cafe is a volunteer-run vegetarian cafe at Tufts University. Proceeds from the cafe are donated to Oxfam America, an organization which works to create sustainable solutions to poverty, hunger, and social injustices in developing countries.
All shows at the cafe are free of charge for those with a Tufts ID; some are free for all. Check each individual show listing for specifics. Shows booked by Midnight Cafe, Oxfam's in-house booking agency, feature free fair-trade coffee.
HOW TO GET TO OXFAM
You don't know where Oxfam is? No problem!
If you're coming from Davis Square, you can walk (see directions below) or you can take a shuttle which runs every 20 minutes (30 min. on the weekends) directly from Davis to a block away from Oxfam! The shuttle picks up directly across from the Somerville Theatre. Get off at the 2nd stop (Carmichael stop).

Walk up Holland Ave toward Teele Square. Turn right after the playground onto Paulina Street. Turn left and walk down Broadway for one block, then take a right on Packard Ave. This will take you into the Tufts campus. Keep going up Packard until you reach the top of the hill. Oxfam is in the basement of Miller Hall, the brick building which will be on your left, on the block bordered by Professors Row, Curtis/Winthrop St., Capen St., and Packard on this map. Refer also to campus map. Miller is at B-2 on the map.
On the Bus from Davis Square:
