A coffee chain that's gained national attention for employing people with intellectual and developmental disabilities recently opened its first Ohio location in Upper Arlington.
Why it matters: Bitty & Beau's brands itself as a "a human rights movement disguised as a coffee shop," as people with disabilities disproportionately face barriers to employment.
- The business started in North Carolina and is named for the founders' two children with Down syndrome. It now has 18 locations nationwide.
💠Alissa's thought bubble: The local cafe is already a popular gathering spot. When I stopped by for an iced latte on Friday morning, most of the tables were full.
- I wish I'd had room for a dessert — they're picturesque!
Stop by: 8am-5pm daily, 3110 Kingsdale Center. Menu.
