Sleepy Coffee, Too, set to open in Sleepy Hollow on April 26, is more than just a coffee shop; it's a community initiative aimed at inclusivity and support. Founded by Kim Kaczmarek, a retired special education teacher, this nonprofit café serves as a training and employment platform for people with disabilities, offering them a chance to thrive in a supportive work environment. The shop operates with a unique system where customers match illustrations with baristas to retrieve their orders, fostering patience and interaction. Featuring local vendors and disability-friendly businesses, the café not only promotes kindness but also encourages community support through a "pay it forward" system. With a cozy ambiance and plans for future community events, Sleepy Coffee, Too aims to be a local hub where everyone feels welcome and valued.
