Coffee for Here
“Hurry is the great enemy of spiritual life in our day.”
Why coffee “for here?” Life is busy. We are busy. Every once in a while, we should sit down with a coffee “for here” rather than “to go.”
How are we doing this?
We’re opening a coffee bar, meeting areas, and kids’ playroom to encourage people to take a break from the busy pace of life and enjoy a moment of rest. There aren’t any “to go” cups, because we want you to stay! If you need a quick morning coffee or just the best coffee in town, we recommend stopping by Arbuckle Craft Coffee or Perfect Blend. (We are buying coffee from Arbuckle Craft Coffee to support their business!)
Who is this for?
This space is for anyone feeling the busyness of life. There are quiet places to meet, read, or sit in a moment of stillness. This space is also for parents—there’s a playroom to let your kids play while you take a moment for yourself or the other people in your life.
We’re not trying to be in the coffee business, we’re in the people business. Ultimately, we want to tend to the needs of souls, building healthy individuals and families. The intent of this space is to invite people to slow down, taking time to have a conversation, read, study, or just a break for parents with small children at home.
Note: The playroom will not be staffed. Parents will be responsible for monitoring children and ensuring they put away toys after they’ve finished playing. This also means children can’t be dropped off—parents must remain in the building.
The Details.
Cost: It’s free! Coffee, drinks, and snacks will have suggested donation prices but we don’t want money to get in the way of you and your family enjoying the space.
Hours: We’re aiming to be open every Tuesday and Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. We will open more days and hours as demand increases or local supporters come on board.
Location: 330 E. 14th Street, Ada, OK
Some future plans: popcorn and a movie, small indoor inflatables, classes, etc. We have around 9,000 square feet of space, so if you have an idea, contact us or stop by the building anytime during the week to chat!
