We are very excited to announce that Sippers has a new home! We’re working hard to get our space ready and can’t wait to bring our sweet treats and delicious drinks to the community. Please plan to visit us soon at Suite 101 in The Alpha Center located at 697 Hillsboro Street.
At Sippers Café & Bakery, we are excited to reside in our new location at the Alpha Center, where we are dedicated to aligning with The Brisa Foundation’s mission and vision. Our goal is to cultivate a welcoming space for friends and families to enjoy delicious coffee, exquisite espressos, and delectable desserts.
Our café provides a unique opportunity for transitional aged youth (ages 15-23) who face challenges such as mental illness, physical or intellectual disabilities, or socioeconomic hardship. Here, they can build essential social and occupational skills in a supportive, flexible, and therapeutic work environment. We believe in empowering our staff through meaningful employment.
Sippers will not be just about great food and drinks; it’s also about fostering a nurturing space for care providers. We aim to offer physical and emotional support for our staff, ensuring a holistic approach to well-being. The quality of our treats will keep customers coming back, but what truly sets Sippers apart is the growth and development of the young adults in our café, supported by the entire Sippers family.
