"More than a cup of coffee" is painted on the side of Bitty & Beau's, and that quote absolutely rings true.
If you go online to their website, you will see their story:
"Bitty & Beau's Coffee is a human rights movement disguised as a coffee shop, where people with intellectual & developmental disabilities are valued in the workplace. It's a place where diversity isn't just appreciated, it's celebrated."
Besides the amazing story, the coffee is actually VERY good, and there's plenty on the menu to choose from. The cafe seating is plentiful. I saw families, students studying, individuals working, and even an interview going on. It's a comfortable and welcoming vibe, but it's also clean and hip.
Some neat things they offer: There are flavor add-ins like hazelnut, toasted marshmallow, etc you can add to your order to enhance your flavor experience. There is a really neat pushpin map of the world towards the back of the shop, and if they have pins available you can place one in the location of your home town. There are already hundreds if not thousands of pins in the map. Lastly, when you order you are given a Bitty & Beaus branded playing card, and the baristas will call out your card number when your order is ready.
Some tips: The main tip I would add is please be patient. The workers are professional and kind individuals, and they deserve kindness, patience, and respect.
I have been here many times, and I've always had an incredible experience. If you get a chance, please support this coffee shop. I would love to see more of them pop...

Read moreAtmosphere: This place is phenomenal, for more reasons than one may think. This coffee shop is run by a loving family who has perfectly staffed this location. The customer service is top tier, with your experience beginning as soon as you walk in receiving a very friendly & warm welcome from a staff member like Nikola. Or having your order taken and made just right by a tech-savvy cashier like Billy, to simply being attended to throughout your visit by people like Jacob you just can’t have a bad experience here.
Now when it comes to coffee I typically get a simple black coffee normally preferring a nice rich and bold taste, and that’s exactly what they provide. Nothing too overpowering yet flavorful. They also offer a nice variety of drinks like smoothies, teas, & specialty coffees at a good price!
