The very charming coffee nook, Homecoming Coffee & Books, which provides a safe space for Black, independent authors and creatives to share their work, will be offering a FREE cup of coffee with any purchase.
Homecoming Coffee & Books maintains a later operating schedule than most local coffee shops, which is part of its appeal. However, it’s the atmosphere cultivated by owner Yvette Quarles Chatman, and the people who bring the energy, the culture, and the love that is felt from the moment you enter the space.
