Slow Coffee Co — A Worker-Owned Cafe in Oakland

Eight baristas, no investors, one neighborhood cafe. Help us open a worker-owned cooperative.

E
Eight Baristas Co-op · Founding Members (8)

Eight baristas. One cafe. No investors.

ID Verified Liveness
The cafe we worked at for years closed when the owners retired. We — eight baristas — want to do the next version differently: as a worker-owned cooperative. Decisions made together. Profits shared. No outside ownership. Pledges here go directly to the build-out and first 6 months of payroll.
