Coffee as an Excuse: The Social Psychology Behind 787 Coffee's Community Spaces
Let’s Connect on Social
Hello Caffeinated Community!
Remember that feeling of walking into a place and just knowing you belong? That’s the feeling we want you to have when you step into any 787 Coffee shop. The first thing you'll hear is a warm "HELLO, WELCOME!" from a familiar face, quickly followed by the rich smell of freshly pulled espresso.
Our coffee shops offer a unique experience with specialty single-origin coffee from Puerto Rico, Mexico, and Colombia. We believe coffee is just the excuse to create unforgettable memories and the real magic happens in our designed spaces. Here, you can find a productive and relaxed environment, connect with our friendly baristas, and discover your second home. See how we have built a community for caffeinated humans.
-Let’s Do This!
Coffee as a Universal Connector
Coffee has always been more than just a drink in a cup. Around the world, it’s used as a universal “excuse” to gather, a neutral ritual that brings humans together. We see this every day our caffeinated humans walk through our doors not only to drink our coquito lattes, but to share a moment, a conversation, and a sense of belonging.
Our mantra, "for humans, by humans," is about having an environment where you feel included and loved, turning a quick coffee stop into a meaningful interaction that will put a smile on your face after you leave. Our baristas are known for being the "coolest humans" who are here to get your day energized and to become a new friend.
Building our Caffeinated Community
Different events that we’ve done from open mic nights and local DJ parties to entrepreneurial seminars and yoga classes, has brought together different walks of life with a common love of specialty coffee. We believe in creating a unique coffee culture that nurtures human potential and provides a platform for creativity and innovation.
These events have been key to empowering the dreamers and doers, where every caffeinated human can find their tribe and create new relationships they might never have imagined. We're always pushing boundaries with original concepts, like the petting zoo at our El Paso location and soon, roasters coming directly into our coffee shops. Our goal is to be a welcoming space for all humans, to share all kinds of experiences.

The Psychology of 787 Coffee Social Spaces
The psychology behind the magic of a coffee shop is fascinating. It's not just the caffeine that draws us in, but a carefully crafted environment that meets our deep-seated needs for comfort and connection. Our coffee shops are intentionally designed to serve as a "third place," a neutral ground that is neither home nor work, but something that is completely yours. Every element works in harmony to create a space that positively impacts your mind and mood.
Here are a few of the psychological principles at play in our coffee shops:
Sensory Comfort as a Foundation: From the aroma of our farm-to-cup coffee, carefully curated playlist, and our atmosphere is a natural comfort zone. This subtle sensory stimulation helps caffeinated humans relax and feel at ease.
A Sanctuary for Productivity: We want to free you from the pressures of daily life. With our fast, free Wi-Fi, comfortable seating, and mindful service, like bringing you a cup of water without you getting up, you'll feel like you've escaped to a beach resort in Cancun.
Freedom from Anxiety: When you come to 787 Coffee you are at home. Our "stay all day" policy means you can settle in without the anxiety of feeling rushed or overstaying your welcome, allowing for genuine relaxation and focus.

How Our Space Design Shapes Connection
Every detail in our shops, from the yellow outdoor tables to the indoor swings and bright neon signs, is intentional. Designed like an interactive museum, each location has its own personality while sharing the same 787 Coffee DNA. We believe the space itself is the backdrop for life's most meaningful moments.
This intentional design has also created moments where first dates have blossomed over Mazapan lattes and musicians have produced their next hit. Our coffee shops have also been there for moments of distress, providing a moment of tranquility for humans looking for comfort while a family member is at the hospital. Our baristas understand that coffee is just an excuse to have an experience, and we work to create WOW moments whenever we can, ensuring we are here for YOU during the good times and the more challenging ones.
Amenities like fast, free Wi-Fi, abundant outlets, and Print with Me kiosks are all part of our productivity-friendly design, because we know that connection is also about finding the perfect place to focus and create.
