Vagabond Café is a “pay-what-you’re-able” coffee shop devoted to creating a place for community and providing connections to opportunities for all those who walk in our doors. Our coffee and other drinks are “pay-what-you’re-able.” This means when you walk in you will be offered a drink but not from behind a register. If you choose to donate there are recommended amounts but that is not at all an expectation. Donations are greatly appreciated to help cover our operating expenses but whatever we get beyond that is donated to one of our local ministry partners such as New Creation Men’s Shelter, Life Bridge Christian Church, and others who work directly with our local community offering help and care to those in need.
We are a Christian organization and operate underneath Intentional Valparaiso and Life Bridge Christian Church. We welcome all individuals, regardless of religion or spiritual belief. We do take discretion in the organizations that we partner with and promote, but ultimately exist to serve and be a bridge from those in need to those who provide those goods and/or services.
Where else has Vagabond been?
- Heath McNease Concert at this past week courtesy of First United Methodist Church! Vagabond served their refreshing coffees to those who attended.
- Yummy coffee drinks, fast internet, and a Minecraft server for Melody and Joy. Now we just need a second laptop so they don't fight over playing time. – Facebook
- Great people, great coffee, great music, fantastic purpose. – Facebook
- Information about needs-based ministries in our community. Check back frequently as this grows.
- Live Music as scheduled
- Community gaming opportunities (Minecraft and more!)
- Come by for a coffee, or plan on meeting someone here to share the environment and support the ministry
- Drop off used shirts, tees, or sweater donations (really any shirt with some stretch) in the designated basket. This supports a ministry, Stripes, who is committed to getting girls out of sex trafficking. While helping them heal and acclimate to a new life, they use these shirts to make rugs as a means of skill development, purpose, and financial support.
- Have some hours to serve? Become a Vagabond host and barista! Sign up with Vagabond at this link. Don’t worry about being left alone, someone will contact you concerning training.
