The Brakes Coffeehouse & Provisions

About The Brakes Coffeehouse & Provisions

The rationale behind "The Brakes" portion of their name is in reference to their belief in putting the brakes on carbon footprints, reducing emissions, and building a more sustainable future. The reason they are called a coffeehouse, however, stems all the way back to the American Revolution and the Age of Enlightenment. Historically, coffeehouses were a popular destination for freedom fighters to brew up plans of revolution. At The Brakes they want to create a new revolution, a lifestyle revolution to spark positive energy in order to encourage public discourse on social issues and challenge everyone to think collectively on the connection between ourselves and nature. In response to this discussion, all of their menu items are constructed with an emphaisis on local and organic ignredients.
