Celebrating One-Year of Opportunity and Inclusion for All!

January 14 - January 16, 2021

Anastasia and Katie’s Coffee Shop & Café invites Livonia and surrounding communities to join them in celebrating the one-year anniversary of its establishment as an inclusive business that employs and supports individuals with developmental disabilities.

The celebration will take place over the course of three days, beginning on Thursday, January 14th and ending on Saturday, January 16th. The “One-Year of Opportunity and Inclusion for ALL” celebration will involve a special birthday drink on the menu for purchase and free giveaways to customers each day.

Anastasia and Katie's Coffee Shop and Café, located at 19215 Merriman Rd. in Livonia, MI, held its grand opening one-year ago, only a few months before the pandemic.

“I am overwhelmed with emotion as we celebrate our first year of operations at Anastasia and Katie’s Coffee Shop & Cafe. In an unbelievably challenging year – our community has lifted us up,” said Kelly Rockwell, Cofounder and President of the coffee shop’s nonprofit, Mi Work Matters. “Our patrons, donors, and employees, have united in our mission of inclusion and opportunity for ALL!”

 You can visit the coffee shop (carry-out only) for the three-day celebration event during normal business hours, 7 a.m. – 2 p.m., Thursday and Friday, January 14- 15, and 8 a.m. – 3 p.m. on Saturday, January 16, 2021.

The coffee shop is limited to five customers in-store at a time and the shop asks customers for their patience and understanding during this time.

“I am responsible and passionate about working at Anastasia and Katie’s Coffee Shop and the work that I do,” said Marissa, a barista at the coffee shop. “I enjoy everything about my job, I love my co-workers and my managers and they’re very supportive when I need help. They’ve become good friends of mine. Working for Anastasia and Katie’s Coffee Shop is my number one dream job I could ever ask for.”
