This cozy café tucked in the Wrigley neighborhood isn’t just another spot for your morning pick-me-up: It’s a social enterprise with a soul, where every latte served is a step toward community empowerment.
At first glance, Wrigley Coffee feels like the kind of place you’d want to curl up in with your laptop while having a blueberry muffin. But behind the barista smiles and artfully poured pistachio lattes, there’s a powerful mission at work: offering trauma-informed professional development and hands-on training to individuals who’ve faced barriers to employment.
Through career coaching, on-the-job training, and ongoing mentorship, Wrigley Coffee is creating a new wave of thoughtful, resilient leaders in the food and beverage industry. It’s a space where BIPOC voices are uplifted, community organizing is welcomed, and second chances are poured with care.
Wrigley serves specialty coffee made with locally roasted beans, including their signature sweet-and-smooth Spanish Latte with condensed milk and caramel or a white Chocolate Mocha, and more. All at very affordable prices. Oh, and whatever your drinking can be paired up with a delicious churro donut, a classic chocolate cookie or any of the many tasty pastries they have in store.
Wrigley Coffee is a reminder that meaningful change can start small: with one person, one job, or even one cup of coffee!
