Good Day Café

Good Day Café, a nonprofit coffee shop in State College, PA, was developed by Strawberry Fields, Inc. to address the 80% unemployment rate among people with disabilities. Using the hashtag #CoffeeWithACause, it creates meaningful employment opportunities for adults with autism, intellectual disabilities, and mental health diagnoses.

Good Day Café fosters inclusion and belonging for people of all abilities while celebrating diversity. Employment at the café provides purpose, financial stability, independence, and confidence. Inspired by Bitty & Beau’s Coffee in Wilmington, N.C., the café opened in 2018 and has since created jobs for 18 individuals with disabilities. Each purchase supports this mission of making a positive impact.
