Join us at our Death Cafe, an event that welcomes individuals across all ages and walks of life to discuss the too often taboo topic of death in a safe and comfortable environment.
At this Death Cafe, we’ll share experiences, reflections, and questions about death, dying, and bereavement. We’ll journey through topics as vast as the afterlife and as intimate as the legacy we hope to leave behind. Our goal is to create a space where we can learn from each other and explore different perspectives on this universal human experience. Guiding questions will be available to start the discussion, but the conversation’s direction will unfold naturally, shaped by the voices in the room.
Meet us:

About Bulla Café
Bulla Café is a coffee shop and a graphic art store, right in the heart of Le Plateau Mont-Royal. This is a vibrant and colorful place where you can enjoy some delicious coffee from a local roaster, while eating some of our regular and gluten-free pastries. The idea of Bulla Café was born from the head of a couple of argentinians, so you can find art pieces from latin-american artists as well as montrealers. And, of course, you can taste a pastry with dulce de leche and a yerba mate tea.
