Welcome!
It all started with a dream of community, of inclusion and belonging.​
Meet Anakin, a young man with fierce determination and an amazing life story to tell. Learning to live with multiple health-limiting and serious conditions has been a journey for Anakin. Finding a place in society as a valued, employed, accepted, included and supported member has been an even more challenging battle.
​
When Anakin finished his 4 year fundraising journey with the Make A Wish Foundation (raising $30,000 by rappelling down skyscrapers), he told his mom and sister that he wanted to create his own business to have a space for people with diverse-abilities to have a job, a place to be themselves and a way to explore many aspects of the arts with friends.... The Pup-n-Cup Family Cafe & Shop was born..... As a Community Contribution Company (C3), the Pup-n-Cup dedicates 60% of it's profits to our partner nonprofit; the Diversity Den Society, and the other 40 goes back in to the C3 to meet the 3 & 5 year goals. Coming up with the idea wasn't difficult because.... coffee! As life-long coffee consumers, Anakin and his family embraced the plan of a coffee shop. The dog things was naturally integrated from an obsessive love of dogs! The Pup-n-Cup Family Cafe & Shop is a small, accessibility-driven, inclusive cafe and dog training supplies shop located by a dog training center.
