A coffee roaster, a training academy for the disadvantaged and a place to enjoy specialty coffee — three good omens for those who want their cup of joe to do more than just caffeinate them. Located in the industrial area of Macpherson, this unassuming coffee house gives back to society by taking disadvantaged women and youths through a holistic six-month programme. The training not only empowers them with work skills, it also combines professional coffee education with life and emotional management skills, plus physical training. Make plans to stop by on the weekend to enjoy a cup of coffee (be sure to ask for the Bold Heart house blend) while getting some work done. Coffees are not priced and rely on tips — a great opportunity to give generously!
