(Be)Caffeinated

(Be)Caffeinated is a Chattanooga based coffee shop built on simple foundations: create a fun and engaging work environment. Do the right thing. Work with and support as many small businesses as possible. Everything from their merchandise to their pastries is purchased locally because they believe in small businesses.

The (Be)Kind Initiative is a collaboration between Be The Change Youth Initiative and (Be)Caffeinated. We partner with local schools and share our own personal stories centered around mental health, and the importance of creating relationships that encourage positivity, accountability, and a willingness to share with others what they are feeling. Students are then given the opportunity to write encouraging words and phrases of coffee sleeves that will be given to customers at (Be)Caffeinated, creating a ripple of kindness in the Chattanooga community.
