Mend Coffee & Goods

Looking for a meaningful way to spend ✌️ hours of your month? (And another excuse to come to Mend?!) We've got you.

Hope Heals Hangouts offers adults living with disabilities opportunities to be known and loved outside the home. Participants with disabilities will be paired with a new friend to gather twice a month at Mend Coffee and Goods in Atlanta.

It’s a low pressure, high impact way to contribute to inter-ability community right here in Atlanta.

Currently, we’re in need of participants with disabilities as well as adult male volunteers in particular.

Visit the link in our bio to see if you're a fit for Hangouts or to register for a pairing! Questions? Comment below or DM us!

🎄 Planning your office holiday party? (You're our kind of person!) Consider your venue found. Mend is the perfect space for your team to eat, drink, and be merry!

Our gorgeous café can be configured for a seated dinner or a mix-and-mingle cocktail party for up to 70 guests. All bookings include free onsite parking and two Mend staff members to help you host.

Full venue rentals are available Monday through Saturday, 5 PM to 10 PM, or Sundays from 8 AM to 8 PM.

Hope Heals Hangouts have officially launched 🚀 Would you just look at the happy faces of these new friends?!

This is one reason why Mend is more than a coffee shop. It’s a starting place for heart-expanding, life-affirming relationships between people whose brains and bodies work in all kinds of ways. We call it inter-ability community, and you’re invited to be a part of it.

One easy way to get in on this inter-ability community? Hope Heals Hangouts. These one-on-one meetups offer adults living with disabilities regular opportunities to experience belonging and belovedness outside of their family homes.

If you want to get in on this goodness, visit the link in our bio to get the details and register to join us.

Mend, reviewed by you 🤎 (Can you believe #8?!)

🎃 Honey Pumpkin Latte
🍎 Apple Cider Chai
🍊 Spiced Orange Mocha

Your next favorite thing might have just dropped at Mend. 👀

Fancy candy, an eye-catching tote, a sleek-chic travel mug, and tortoise shell claw clips to match your tortoise shell keychain. All ethically (and tastefully) sourced! Purchasing our retail offerings is just another way to support the redemptive work being done at Mend and in our community.

Mend Coffee & Goods is a one-of-a-kind sacred space where everyone has a seat at the table. We believe that hospitality heals. And true hospitality is accessibility.

What could be more hospitable than accessibility? ✷

At Mend, we believe that hospitality = accessibility. That's why we've created a space made for all abilities! Consider our sound-dampening acoustic structure, adjustable height tables, and our wheelchair-accommodating counters as a personal invitation just for you.

A coffee shop that started with a camp...who could have dreamed that up?

Since 2017—and for four weeks this summer—Hope Heals Camp has been making a place for people of all abilities to be loved and to belong.

And now, every week of the year, Mend Coffee & Goods is offering a similar space of belonging and belovedness where inter-ability community can flourish.

Meet the Mend Team! 🖤 Next up, meet Milner!

✷ What’s your favorite item at Mend? “For food, the Almond croissant. It’s not too sweet and has the perfect amount of sweetness. To drink, an iced latte with brown sugar and oat milk!”
✷ What’s your favorite part of your job? “Prep work. It’s so peaceful opening up the kitchen in the morning and satisfying to get everything ready for the day.”
✷ Where did you grow up? “Marietta, Georgia”

Your comfort and well-being matter to us, so we're making sure you never have to miss out on your favorite drinks or treats.

During the four summer sessions of Hope Heals Camp, 240 families experiencing disabilities will encounter an inclusive, intentional, inter-ability community.

Out of a yearning for people of all abilities to know this same belovedness 365 days a year, Mend Coffee & Goods was born. 🖤

📸:

Since 2013, Katherine and Jay Wolf have been reimagining and creating sacred spaces where people with disabilities can experience radical hope and belonging.

Today these spaces include online communities, Hope Heals Camp, respite gatherings, and most recently Mend Coffee & Goods.

Stories that were interrupted with suffering are being mended with beautiful community and inter-ability friendships. That's what Hope Heals Camp families are encountering right now as week one comes to a close!

Meet the Mend Team! 🖤 First up, get to know Bentley-Grace.

✷ What’s your favorite item at Mend? “The muffin, It’s just so delicious. And a Caramel Iced Latte!”
✷ What’s your favorite part of your job? “Everything. I love coming to work!"
✷ Do you have any hobbies? “Running, I have so many favorite memories from running, I couldn’t even pick one, but probably winning the Boston marathon.”
✷ What advice would you give to someone who uses a wheelchair and wants to work at Mend? “It's always going to be a challenge, but yes, work at Mend! It’s so fun."
✷ What's your favorite travel destination? “Boston, because it’s where I set the marathon record.”
✷ What makes you happiest? “Coming to work!”
✷ What's your fun fact? “I love Candy Crush.”

✷ A coffee shop reimagined for people of all abilities ✷

What began as an online community of suffering people has since expanded into books, speaking events, respite gatherings, and Hope Heals Camp. Now our ethos of hope has manifested through Mend Coffee & Goods, an accessibility-first coffee shop, retail concept, and community hub that offers dignifying employment and a delightful customer experience to people of all abilities.

Happy Fourth of July from Mend! 🎆 Enjoy your day with family, friends, and fireworks.

As we celebrate our national independence, we also want to celebrate the beauty of *interdependence* because life is so much better when we choose to rely on one another.

We’re grateful for our community and the freedom to serve you. We hope to be a part of making this wonderfully interdependent country just a little more interdependent. Have a safe and joyful celebration!

✨ Reminder ✨ Mend Coffee & Goods will be closed on Thursday, July 4, in observance of the holiday. Enjoy your celebrations, and we’ll see you on Friday for your favorite brews and treats! 🎆☕

Did you know that Mend started with a camp?

Hope Heals Camp is a week-long retreat and year-round community offering rest, resources, and relationships to families experiencing disabilities.

We know disabilities affect more than just the individual with the diagnosis. Hope Heals Camp is built for entire family units in which one or more people are living with disabilities, and participants aren't limited to a certain type of diagnosis or a specific age range.

As session 1 kicks off this weekend, here are ways you can support this mission:
✷ Follow Hope Heals
✷ Sign up at the link in our profile to sign up to receive updates for our Fall 2024 and Summer 2025 events
✷ Pray for the hope and restoration that participating families will experience this summer and beyond

Mend
/mend/
(verb) "to heal"

And that's exactly what we plan to do. No matter your experience with disability (visible or invisible), steps towards true healing—the kind that happens in your soul—require a community. That's why we invite you to a space of belonging and belovedness. Together, we can heal through radical hope and hospitality.

NEW LUNCH ITEMS at !

We did the Lord’s work over here and tasted about a dozen possible lunch items, then narrowed it down to our favorite 4 — for now ;) (Swipe to the LAST PIC to see why that portobello sandwich did NOT make the cut!)

Come see what we chose! We can’t wait for you to taste—SO DELICIOUS 🙌🏻

Summer is HERE! We're ready to bring you an all-new lineup of seasonal drinks to sip in the sunshine. ☀️

✨ My Old Friend is a classic coffee tonic infused with Madagascar Bourbon and Tahitian vanilla, and a hint of orange zest.
✨ Scandinavian Flash Brew is a flash-brewed washed Kenya Kamawangi by Bellwood Coffee with a hint of added sweetness served over ice.
✨ Twilight’s Treasure is an iced Hibiscus Tea and Lavender Lemonade Kombucha. Sweetened with brown sugar simple syrup and garnished with a sprig of rosemary.
✨ The Hawaiian Spritz is a sparkling jasmine green tea with pineapple juice with an expressed mint leaf.

Which will you try first?
