Coffee shop and roaster with great coffee and a focus on workforce inclusion of individuals with disabilities
About us
80% of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) are unemployed. We are changing this. 321 Coffee is a coffee shop and roaster built on inclusion. Based in Raleigh, NC, 321 currently employs over 50 adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). They are the ones roasting the coffee, taking the orders, and making the lattes. We are demonstrating the value of an inclusive business model. The company was founded in 2017 by Lindsay Wrege and Michael Evans. The two met during their freshman year as Park Scholars at NC State University. They had the vision to build a company founded on inclusion. The team began in 2017 by setting up on folding tables with a home coffee brewer and brought this setup anywhere that would welcome them. These events helped to develop a presence in the community. Raleigh rallied behind the mission and helped 321 grow beyond folding tables. Today, 321 Coffee operates a coffee shop in Downtown Raleigh, Downtown Durham, at the NC State Farmers Market, in Pendo's HQ, and more in the pipeline to expand our impact. We roast our own coffee, offer a full-scale espresso menu, and partner with over 50 different companies to provide them with coffee. Together, we are building a company that stands for inclusion and doing business the right way.

321 Coffee reposted this
July is #DisabilityPrideMonth, and this year marks the 34th anniversary of the passing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This month is an opportunity to reflect on the progress made in dismantling barriers and promoting accessibility, while acknowledging the work that still needs to be done. We're highlighting 5 of our clients, partners, and friends doing great work in the #DisabilityInclusion and #Accessibility space that you should know about. 1) Our partners at Ablr 360 are breaking down accessibility and cultural barriers through digital accessibility audits, disability inclusion training, and workforce development programs that create pathways for employment for people with disabilities. 2) If you're local to the Triangle, NC, you should know about 321 Coffee, a coffee shop and roastery staffed by individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. 3) Our friends at Easterseals UCP North Carolina & Virginia provide disability, behavioral health and addiction treatment services to help our neighbors live their best lives. 4) TDM partner AbilityLinks is the leading web-based community for job seekers with disabilities, Veterans, and inclusive employers. 5) Gabi's - Powered by Special Abilities! provides workforce training, education, and other support programs to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to help them secure employment, contribute to society, and live a purposeful, rewarding life. Ready to learn how your organization can embrace Disability Pride Month, check out our guide linked in the comments below.

Happy Disability Pride Month!! Did you know that July is recognized as Disability Pride Month because it marks the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) that was signed in July of 1990? This month is all about recognizing the disability community's experiences, achievements, and challenges, with the goal of promoting visibility of people with disabilities. Something we try our best to do everyday! We're grateful for this team of baristas, and love creating spaces where they can own and celebrate every part of who they are ✨ #321Coffee #SpreadLove #InclusionMatters #CoffeeLovers #Inclusion #Positivity
