Last week, our CEO Nick Bayer and student Cafe Executive Officer Tauheed Baukman presented a check to Principal Simon Hauger of the Workshop School, a West Philadelphia public high school whose students helped us build furniture at our newest cafe on Drexel’s campus. These students, all in 9th grade, designed and assembled our tables and our wall shelving at our cafe in the Papadakis Integrated Sciences Building.

We’re very proud to support the school and to partner with an institution that’s teaching kids how to solve problems in different ways.

On Tuesday, June 27th, we opened our second cafe on Drexel University’s campus. This cafe, like our first at the university, is completely student run. Drexel student Tauheed Baukman is the cafe’s first student Cafe Executive Officer. He’ll be fully in charge of its operations -- from financials to team development.

Drexel President John Fry attended our grand opening and pulled the inaugural espresso shot with our CEO, Nick Bayer.

To mark the opening, we held a pay-as-you-wish event in support of the Workshop School, a West Philadelphia high school whose students helped us build and design the cafe’s furniture.
