Welcome to Down Right Brewed! ☕️ We’re thrilled to open our café next month! Here you’ll not only enjoy great coffee and specialized drinks but, most importantly, support a more inclusive community with every sip!
Our story begins with the DRB Store, a family business known to many in the community. Two years ago, our family grew to ten with the arrival of our youngest, Richelle. Before she was born, we learned she had Down Syndrome and a heart condition that was expected to be treated around six months of age. However, things took an unexpected turn, and she underwent her first open-heart surgery at just five days old, leading to a challenging 96-day hospital stay due to various medical complications.
During Richelle’s time in the PICTU & NICU, we delved into research and discovered a disheartening truth: individuals with Down Syndrome and other disabilities often face challenges in finding employment. Determined to create a different future for our daughter and others like her, we came across inspiring stories of advocates working to improve workforce inclusivity.
From that vision and desire to do more for our local community with Down Syndrome and other disabilities, Down Right Brewed was born! We aspire to be more than just an espresso cafe; we aim to create an experience that fosters inclusivity and empowerment!
