Et fint sted for rusavhengige i Halden. Det er en gratis kaffe. Det fungerer som varmestue og serverer middager til dem. Stedet driftes av Pinsemenigheten Betel i Halden.

Gratis kafé, med frivillig "ansatte", i et lite grønt hus, ved Storsenter-bygningen, sentralt i Halden. De disker opp med en - to varme retter, pent pyntede snitter, kjeks, kaker, kaffe, te, saft og godterier. Man kan spise og drikke så mye man orker. De frivillige er vennlige, hyggelige, omtenksomme, og glad for at man spiser .
