Red Rooster Coffee House — More Than Just Coffee

As an immigrant and minority in Aberdeen, finding a space that feels safe, warm, and welcoming isn’t always easy. But Red Rooster Coffee House isn’t just a café—it’s a beacon.

Here, you don’t have to explain who you are. You can be gay, straight, Black, white, Muslim, Jewish, an artist, a dreamer—your story matters here. You feel it the moment you walk in: in the music, the art, the friendly smiles, and the way they make room for everyone.

They don’t just serve coffee—they build community. They don’t just sell art—they amplify voices. This isn’t a business. It’s a heartbeat in downtown Aberdeen.

If you believe in inclusion, creativity, and supporting local spaces that give more than they take—support Red Rooster.

I bought a pin, and the total was $6.35. I handed the cashier a $10 bill and $1 dollar bill and $0.35 in change so I could get a $5 bill back (if she had one). Instead, she placed the $1.35 on top of the register, entered $10 into the system, and gave me $3.65 in change, adding it to the $1.35 she had set aside.

Is it really that hard to find a cashier who knows basic Math and how to give correct change? I didn’t say anything because she seemed confused as to why I gave her the extra change in the...
