Story

What if a coffee shop could change the world?

We don't want to just make good coffee, we desire to be a catalyst for positive change within our community and beyond. We are involved in numerous community minded programs here in town such as; the Food Bank, Food for School, the Christmas Bureau, Tools for School, Winter Warmth, and more. Added to the local initiatives we have an international focus as well; First Steps (providing nutrition to North Korean orphans), selling products that directly support females within the nations of Ghana, India, and Thailand, as well as hosting fundraisers to support natural disasters in multiple locations over the years.

We are also involved in helping people become educated to social and justice needs around the globe. This has been accomplished by hosting independent films, the discussion and debates around 'Fair Trade', as well as helping people understand the importance they hold to create change through the dynamic of purchasing power.
