"Born in Wilmington in January 2016 when Amy Wright set out to create jobs for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities inspired by her two children, this coffee shop became known for its upbeat, safe-space atmosphere and an enthusiastic staff that includes people with Down syndrome, autism, and cerebral palsy. Its approachable menu of hot and cold beverages, smoothies, pastries, and breakfast snacks and burritos complements the mission-driven service, and the uplifting success story earned national recognition when Wright was named CNN’s 2017 Hero of the Year." - Erin Perkins
