Coming to the South Loop: A Coffee Shop That's About the Community. Cool Concept, Huh?

You don't see this everyday. A neighbor and friend tipped me off to a fabulous concept. A husband and wife team are in the works of opening a coffee bar in the South Loop that is all about community building AND connecting us with folks around the world. 

Spearheaded by the Neelys, Overflow Coffee Bar has a simple mission. 

Overflow Coffee Bar is more than a typical coffee shop. For starters, we give our profits back into the community for non-profit activities. Next, we have a mission that’s more than just selling coffee. Our mission is to give South Loop residents, students and workers the opportunity to change the world. We accomplish our mission through four priorities.

Check out this video, shedding more light into the goal of the shop. I highlight the testament: how many of your neighbors do you really know - especially when you live in a vertical subdivision that is a condo building.
