The Newest Arrival

After nearly 10 years as a Brooklyn-based mission-driven hospitality brand, in 2024 we opened our first outpost outside of NYC nestled in the Washington D.C. neighborhoods of Woodridge & Brookland. In addition to the cafe and culinary learning center, we have begun catering off-premise events in the D.C. area allowing our students a 360 view of the potential avenues that await them in the hospitality industry.
