For the Coffee Professional

Introducing the newly formed Coffee Professionals Community!

As coffee shop owners, employees and professionals, we do what we do because we believe that good coffee is more than just a beverage - it’s a means for connection, for impacting our communities for the better, and for facilitating spaces for powerful dialogue and communication. This Coffee Professionals Community will allow us to connect with each other, share best practices to grow our businesses, and most importantly, empower each other to create spaces for community dialogue in an increasingly divided culture.

The Coffee Professionals Community meets online every second Tuesday of each month at 3pm ET. All coffee professionals welcome!

Our next meeting is Tuesday, January 13th, 2026.

Coffee shops do more than serve great drinks—they hold space for community, connection, and honest conversation. As a coffee shop owner, you help create the third place—the in-between where people belong, share ideas, and find common ground.

We know the work isn’t easy. Between managing staff, balancing rising costs, keeping operations smooth, and trying to make an impact that goes beyond the bottom line—it can feel like a lot to carry. You’re not just running a business; you’re sustaining a space that keeps your community connected.

If you’re working to grow, stabilize, or strengthen your business, you’re in the right place. We’re building a community where coffee professionals can learn from one another, share real challenges, find encouragement, and support the work that really matters: creating spaces that bring people together.

☕ Still to come: courses and resources designed specifically for coffee shop owners, to help you build a thriving business and deepen your impact in the community.
