In most ways, 321 Coffee looks like any other trendy café on a busy Saturday afternoon. Sunbeams filter through full-length windows. Pops of turquoise, mustard yellow and scarlet punctuate the shop’s interior. While the drinks and pastries are scrumptious, what sets the shop apart is its deep commitment to inclusivity. By hiring adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, such as Down syndrome, autism spectrum disorder, and sensory processing disorders, 321 is paving the way to a more diverse and welcoming workforce.
