A HEALTHIER COFFEE

Welcome to Kewl Beanz Coffee. This business has been a dream of mine for ages and it's time to bring that dream to reality. But we need your help. We offer an alternative to Starbucks, the only coffee shop in town, with 100% organic fair trade coffee, tea, and snacks- some vegan, gluten-free, and kosher. Our goal is to give a healthier alternative to our favorite drink at comparable prices.

COFFEE WITH A VOICE

Kewl Beanz is not only a coffee shop. It's a platform for artists, musicians, advocates, and anyone else with a voice that needs a place to be heard. I, personally, will be spreading news and information advocating the legalization of hemp and medical marijuana and spreading the word on the breakthroughs in CBD oil. This is a subject that hits close to home for me and I want the world to understand. I have a brother whom I love dearly and he suffers from Parkinsons Disease. CBD oil can help him but in order to use an oil created from marijuana, it first needs to be legalized. I, myself, suffer from Fibromyalgia and could also benefit from the legalization of medical marijuana so I want to inform people of the good that it can do not only for me and my brother, but for millions of other men, women, and children in this world. Please help our voices be heard.

We will also be introducing Suspended Coffee to our town. Suspended coffee is an annonymous act of charity. When you buy a coffee, you pay for a second one. The barista gives you your coffee, then logs the second coffee as "suspended" (meaning that the transaction has been paused, or not yet completed- the money has been received, but the coffee has not yet been delivered). When someone who can't afford a coffee comes in, they can ask whether there are any "suspended" coffees. The barista checks the log and, if there are any pre-paid coffees, the person is given a free coffee. The transaction is then considered complete. We will be doing this with the tea also and would like to eventually extend it to suspended snacks and meals as well so nobody goes hungry or thirsty in the Kewl Beanz community. This act of kindness is to help people in need so we hope people will pay it forward.

STIMULATING A DREAM

For me, Kewl Beanz is not just about a job. It's about a dream. A dream to create and sell a daily staple of my life. A dream to have a business full of love, hope, health, and life that my children and my children's children can contribute to and carry on. A dream to have a platform for myself and others to be heard without fear. A dream of fostering my community with a safe, happy place to gather. I have 3 weeks to raise these funds. A portion of your contribution will be used to make a donation to TEXAS NORML for Kewl Beanz Coffee to join their ranks, and the rest will help to order supplies, stock, and an esspresso machine. We've got our location, now we need our goods- 100% organic fair trade products for a safer, healthier you.
