Coffee shop and roaster with great coffee and a focus on workforce inclusion of individuals with disabilities
About us
80% of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) are unemployed. We are changing this. 321 Coffee is a coffee shop and roaster built on inclusion. Based in Raleigh, NC, 321 currently employs over 50 adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). They are the ones roasting the coffee, taking the orders, and making the lattes. We are demonstrating the value of an inclusive business model. The company was founded in 2017 by Lindsay Wrege and Michael Evans. The two met during their freshman year as Park Scholars at NC State University. They had the vision to build a company founded on inclusion. The team began in 2017 by setting up on folding tables with a home coffee brewer and brought this setup anywhere that would welcome them. These events helped to develop a presence in the community. Raleigh rallied behind the mission and helped 321 grow beyond folding tables. Today, 321 Coffee operates a coffee shop in Downtown Raleigh, Downtown Durham, at the NC State Farmers Market, in Pendo's HQ, and more in the pipeline to expand our impact. We roast our own coffee, offer a full-scale espresso menu, and partner with over 50 different companies to provide them with coffee. Together, we are building a company that stands for inclusion and doing business the right way.

Want to know why we say "representation matters!" so often? Moments like this one are why!! We feature members of our barista and roasting team in the designs of all of our packaging as a way to put a spotlight on their dedication and hard work. Now when you flip over any bag of Stride - our decaf roast from Honduras - you'll see Emma! Emma is the only barista on the 321 Coffee team who has worked at EVERY SINGLE 321 Coffee location that's ever existed and is now a pillar of our team who lends her expertise to training new baristas as we grow. Thank you for your commitment, leadership, and dedication, Emma 🫶 You've earned this one big time!! #321Coffee #SpreadLove #InclusionMatters #CoffeeLovers #Inclusion #Positivity

The 321 Coffee Cart is officially headed on it's first out of state road trip for the TD SYNNEX Inspire Conference!!! And can you believe that this will be our SECOND conference this week? Yesterday, our team was serving hundreds of people at Pendo.io's epic #Pendomonium2024 conference in Raleigh! If you're company has a conference coming up, you know who to call! https://lnkd.in/erW_xAcR
The 321 Coffee Cart’s first ROAD TRIP! 🚐☕ Last year, Sophie and I were the main stage keynote at TD SYNNEX’s Inspire Conference in South Carolina. It was SO fun! And to add to that, they gave away 1,000 bags of 321 coffee! One of our biggest orders to date. Well, anyways, we’re heading back this year, but this time, we’re bringing the Coffee Cart! 🎉 We are loading up a party car, squishing in with the team, and going on a company road trip. Stay tuned for some great stories! Okay. But like, that’s not even all. Yesterday before we hit the road for South Carolina, the Coffee Cart was at Pendomonium. Pendo.io’s huge customer conference. It’s going to be a full week of conferences for the Coffee Cart (& the team 😉) and we are HERE for it! We love being a part of your events! It’s always so much fun figuring out how to make it all happen. From coaching our baristas on how to speak in front of BIG crowds to fine-tuning keynotes. And yes, even figuring out how to get the Coffee Cart across state lines! If you’re hosting a conference or event, we’d be stoked to bring 321 Coffee to you too! #KeynoteSpeaker #CoffeeCart #CorporateEvents #InclusiveJobs #321Coffee
