Bronx cafe staffed by young people in South Bronx United's job program.
South Bronx United opened the cafe on January 8, 2024, one block from Yankee Stadium. Young people ages 16 to 24 work as baristas in six-month cohorts, with weekly workshops and on-the-job training, and the first cohort of 12 did its barista training at Devoción's education lab in Williamsburg. Devoción, the Colombian roaster, is the coffee partner.
A wall-length mural of the South Bronx community, with a soccer ball held in a hand and a ring of flags, covers the seating wall. Wooden tables face it, and a mosaic-tiled counter runs along the left wall.
