About the Cafe

A Safe, Sober Gathering Place
The Recovery Cafe provides a drug-, alcohol-, and judgment-free environment for individuals focused on recovery from addiction and substance use disorder. It is a gathering place for people to congregate with others who are also in recovery, enjoy a meal, take classes and gain skills, and build community with each other.

As the Cafe grows we’ll continue to develop programs, activities, and offerings, guided by the interests and needs of Cafe members. We’re excited to see how members will collaborate with staff to create a truly supportive, useful, and fulfilling space.
Community Support and Connection

A key component of Connections Recovery Cafe is a peer-to-peer support model through community, mentorship, and weekly Recovery Circles. Research and practice show that peer-to-peer support is a key predictor of recovery and long-term sobriety, and the Cafe provides support for members who want to rebuild their lives and break the cycle of addiction. Cafe members can connect with other individuals in recovery, build community in a supportive environment, and encourage each other to stay committed to sobriety with compassionate accountability.

Recovery Circles

Cafe members meet weekly in small support groups called Recovery Circles. Each Circle agrees to share honestly, respect the experience and privacy of others, and provide support and accountability to other members. Recovery Circles are led by trained facilitators, who guide members through the Recovery Circle process while allowing for freedom, flexibility, and creativity in conversations and feedback.

Join the Cafe Community
We invite any individual who is committed to recovery and personal growth to join the Cafe as a member. Through the Cafe, members can connect with other individuals in recovery, enjoy a free meal every day the Cafe is open, participate in weekly Recovery Circles, classes, and activities, and build skills and resilience.

In return, we ask that members are drug- and alcohol-free for 24 hours before spending time in the Cafe, participate in weekly Recovery Circles, and give back to the community in the form of service work.
We are a proud member of the Recovery Café Network
While we are independently operated, we share in the collective mission of the Recovery Café Network to provide a safe, supportive, and inclusive space for individuals on their recovery journey.
