Who Are We?

Recovery Café is a community predicated on the belief that everyone deserves love and belonging. And, in fact, that meaningful belonging to community is essential to becoming the best versions of ourselves.​ 

​We further believe that everyone is in recovery from something. By building deep and lasting bonds, we support one another on our unique recovery journeys. 

The Recovery Café model began in Seattle and has been acclaimed nationally for its unique success at anchoring people in sustained recovery. The Recovery Café Network continues to grow and there are now more than 30 Recovery Cafés in North America.
A lot of practical work goes on at Recovery Café. We provide support and connection so that Members can access housing, education, employment, and social and health services.

​We welcome people wherever they are on their journeys, recognizing that there’s a wide spectrum of care and honoring multiple pathways to recovery. It is not our aim to “fix” anyone at Recovery Café. We are simply creating space and opportunity where you can feel safe to explore new, healthy relationships and forms of healing.
