🚨 Big Announcement from The Story Coffee Co. 🚨

While we’re not quite ready to open our doors yet — and are currently hard at work remodeling the upstairs programming space for — we are busy working on something important…

The menu. ☕

Here’s a sneak peek at a few of our newest “offerings”:

• The Overthinker — Decaf, but you still feel anxious
• The Boundaries Latte — Only filled halfway
• The People Pleaser — Comes with everyone else's order
• The Growth Mindset — Changes flavor every time
• The Fresh Start — Strong, hopeful, and just what you needed

Okay… okay… April Fool’s.

While these drinks may not actually make the menu, one thing is true — The Story Coffee Co. will be more than just a coffee shop. It will be a place where conversations happen, stories are shared, and growth begins.

Right now, we’re focused on remodeling the upstairs program space so Narratives QC can move programming there before we begin transforming the coffee shop downstairs. Each step brings us closer to opening day — and we couldn’t be more excited.

Until then… we’ll keep working on the space… and maybe the menu, too.

Happy April Fool’s Day from Narratives QC — where growth is always brewing. ☕

☕ The Story Coffee Co. will be more than just a coffee shop.

Yes, there will be great coffee.
Yes, it will be a welcoming place to gather with friends.

But the real story runs deeper.

The Story Coffee Co. is being created as a mental health workforce development program of Narratives QC. It will provide young adults with hands-on job training, mentorship, and the skills needed to build healthier, more stable futures.

And upstairs?

That’s where the heart of it all lives.

The second floor will serve as the headquarters for Narratives QC, where our community groups, life coaching, creative programs, and mental health support take place. It’s where real stories are shared, where healing begins, where growth happens, and where young adults discover that their next chapter can be different.

This isn’t just about opening a coffee shop.
It’s about creating healthier workplaces, expanding mental health resources, and building a stronger community.

And you can be part of making it happen.
