While we are in the process of building out our coffee bar, join us for coffee and tea on Wednesdays from 7:30 am until 3:00pm. No prices, just coffee. Your generosity keeps it going.
If this is your first question or main objection, we get it. The short story is that for all the community oriented goals we have... we'd either have to be filty fucking rich or collaborate with an organization that is aligned with our goals.
And honestly this is true for any business in 2026. If a favorite business of yours has closed in the last year or so, they likely mentioned that they were not able to negotiate a reasonable rent with their corporate landlords and/or the rising cost of goods. In working with Illume, our landlord's goals are aligned with ours.
