A Sanctuary Cafe: Coffee, Books & Cats
Our Guiding Principles:
Everyone is Welcome
Hiring Local
Providing Living Wages
Prioritizing Community Partnerships & Building Community
One of the founding principles of A Sanctuary Cafe is to have a truly inclusive and welcoming space where all identities (and abilities) feel accepted and embraced. We hope that visitors will see this reflected in both big design decisions (adding a lift) and smaller day-to-day decisions (which books we choose to highlight).
