Delta Cafe & Don Quixote
Delta Cafe sits in Craighall Park on a property run by the REEA Foundation, a nonprofit that provides care for adults with epilepsy and associated illnesses. The cafe was founded by Daniel Basch with the aim of creating a community hub where locals could gather. It operates as part of the foundation's broader mission, with proceeds supporting their programs, which include HIV/AIDS orphan outreach and food security initiatives.
The space is dog-friendly, welcoming guests with their pets. The cafe's setup ties directly into the foundation's work, meaning each meal contributes to community care projects. These range from feeding schemes to infrastructure like a planned borehole for safe drinking water.
The REEA Foundation has been operating for decades, offering 24-hour care and running neurological daycare services. The cafe functions as both a dining spot and a funding mechanism for these efforts, making it a place where eating out directly aids local causes.
