About Us

What is a Recovery Café?

Recovery Cafés are safe places to connect for people in all forms of recovery. Long-term recovery requires long-term support and authentic connection. We’re here to be your home base, so you can go out and live a life you’re excited about — one of connection and service.

Membership Model

Membership is the heart of the Recovery Café model. Cafés are not drop-in centers; every person in the space is either a guest or an active Member of the community.

Café Guiding Principles

We support multiple pathways to recovery and are guided by trauma-informed principles. To create a safe community in which all are valued, we strive to:

  • Connect with love to ourselves and others

  • Show respect

  • Cultivate compassion

  • Practice forgiveness

  • Encourage growth

  • Give back to the community
