Cafe X: By Any Beans Necessary Grand Opening

Café X: By Any Beans Necessary, a worker-owned cooperative coffee shop in San Diego, officially launches this week!

This is not your average coffee shop. Book clubs including non-Eurocentric literature, poetry readings, peer-to-peer language mentoring, writing programs and exchanges, a loan-to-own and lending program for books, organic coffee obtained through direct relationships, and so much more – are all amenities being served up to Café X: By Any Beans Necessary visitors.

This project celebrates the richness of our culture, using it as the foundation of their mission and purpose. By doing business differently, they aim to maximize the creative freedom of their member-owners, address whole person and community wellness, and keep money flowing within the community.

A portion of proceeds from food and beverages will benefit the two co-located nonprofit organizations Urban Restoration Counseling Center and Open Heart Leaders.

See you there!
