Building Coffee Communities: 787 Coffee's Local Impact Across America
Let’s Connect on Social
Hello Beautiful Humans!
According to the National Coffee Association, 63% of Americans drink coffee daily. But beyond the daily caffeine ritual, local coffee shops play a much bigger role they inspire culture, community, and economic growth. At 787 Coffee, we’ve seen this firsthand. Every coffee shop we’ve open is designed not just to serve specialty coffee, but to shape local coffee culture and create spaces where neighbors, artists, and entrepreneurs can come together.
-Let’s Do This!
The Caffeinated Humans Club
Let's just get this out of the way: only the coolest humans drink 787 Coffee. We love seeing smiles on our customers, from the roaring streets of New York City to the calm breezes in Puerto Rico. What we've found is that everyone who comes to our coffee shops is an authentic creative, sharing a passion for what they do.
We've seen actors and screenwriters collaborating on new projects at our communal tables. We've seen a music producer making beats while drinking a Flat White. And we've watched as business owners have their virtual meetings, impacting their customers while sipping cappuccinos and making shIT happen. We even have run and biking groups who come in and choose our Rum-infused cold brew as their pre-workout.
So many different walks of life, yet all united by a common thread: we are ALL dreamers, visionaries, and we've built a community that is exclusive to us. We want you to continue to use your talents and creativity. Collaborate with us to impact many more lives, one caffeinated human at a time. Let's grow our club and change our community together.

Local collaborations That Strengthen Neighborhoods
Open Mic & Music Nights
From live poetry to acoustic guitar sessions, we have collaborated with many artist and hosted open mic nights transforming our coffee shops into creative stages. At our East Village locations, we hosted a poetry showcase where more than 100 people gathered to celebrate local voices. Nights like these give our neighbors a chance to express themselves and discover new talent, all while drinking a coquito latte.
DJs and 787 coffee parties
Coffee and beats make the perfect pairing. At select locations, local DJs have turned our spaces into a mini day club filled with rhythm and connection. Whether spinning vinyl classics or fresh electronic sets, these days prove that a local coffee shop can also be a dance floor of culture and creativity.
Entrepreneurial Events & Seminars
Coffee shops have always been where ideas are born, and at 787 Coffee we take that tradition seriously. We’ve hosted entrepreneurial meetups, and small business seminars where local founders share insights and resources. These events empower dreamers and doers to connect, collaborate, and take their ideas to the next level. All within the welcoming environment of a 787coffee shop.
Student Organizations & Workshops
Our coffee shops have also serve as work-it-spaces outside the classroom. We’ve partnered with student organizations to host networking sessions, skill-building workshops, and study groups. These events give students a supportive space to learn, connect, and grow and get energized by the best specialty coffee.
Yoga & Fitness Gatherings
Wellness is part of community, too. At several 787 Coffee shops, we’ve rolled out mats for morning yoga and help give a space to running and biking groups to use 787 Coffee shop as a meet up spot before they are off to the races. These events create mindful moments for our neighbors to recharge together before starting their day, combining health, connection, and the grounding ritual of coffee.

Driving Economic Impact Through Coffee
We believe a coffee shop is a vital source of energy to help the economy grow. Each 787 Coffee location creates a ripple effect, acting as a catalyst that drives productivity and grows the local economy.
Caffeinating Human Productivity and Creativity
Modern life is full of distractions, but coffee shops offer a unique environment for enhanced focus, a phenomenon known as the "coffee shop effect."
The low-level music, the hum of the espresso machine, the gentle murmur of conversation these are factors that can actually improve cognitive performance and stimulate creativity.
A coffee shop serves as a "third place," a neutral, accessible public space separate from home and work. This change of scenery can break up your routine and lead to better focus and motivation.
The presence of other focused, productive humans creates a sense of "contagious effort." When you see others working diligently, you're more likely to mirror that behavior.
Driving Economic Growth for the Entire Community
The economic impact of a coffee shop extends far beyond its own walls. A local coffee shop acts as an attraction for a neighborhood, increasing foot traffic and creating a network of support for other businesses.
A successful coffee shop becomes a magnet for other surrounding businesses. Humans who come for their morning latte often end up wandering to the bookstore next door, picking up a gift from a nearby boutique, or grabbing lunch at a local restaurant. The coffee shop serves as the initial lure that gets people to walk the street and discover other businesses.
Collaborations between a coffee shop and neighboring businesses can be a powerful marketing tool. For example, hosting a pop-up event with a nearby flower shop creates a mutually beneficial cycle of customer expansion and community engagement.
Elevating Personal and Business Brands
Beyond the direct economic and productivity benefits, a coffee shop is a powerful platform for personal and business brand building.
By hosting events like open mic nights, book clubs, or art exhibitions, a coffee shop becomes a gathering for networking. For collaborators, this is an opportunity to directly connect with their target audience in an authentic, low-pressure environment.
Collaborating with a coffee shop allows you to align your brand with its values. Like authenticity, creativity, and community. By being featured in the coffee shop's social media, collaborators can tap into the coffee shop’s established community and gain social proof.
Your brand becomes part of a larger story. Your art or product becomes a piece of a sustainable, community-focused mission that connects the fields of Puerto Rico to the streets of New York. This not only grows your business but also enriches your brand's narrative.
We want to create a dynamic ecosystem! Where it nurtures human potential, stimulates the local economy, and provides a platform for individuals and businesses to thrive. It’s the meeting point where ideas are brewing, connections are made, and the shared vision of a more vibrant community becomes a reality.

Master Your Coffee Ritual: The 787 Coffee V60 Experience
Ready to transform your morning routine into a master craft? We want YOU to be part of our unique events. At 787 Coffee, we believe the best cup of coffee is the one you can make yourself. That's why we're sharing our secrets of the V60, the brewer celebrated by coffee lovers for its ability to create a clean, and flavorful cup.
In this hands-on workshop, you'll go beyond the basics and discover the different ways to make coffee with a V60. We'll guide you through key fundamentals that you can control to fine-tune your perfect pour over:
Grind Size & Its Impact: Learn how a finer grind creates a more intense, full-bodied cup, while a coarser grind highlights clarity and delicate flavor notes.
The Art of the Pour: Discover how the speed and pattern of your pour-over can directly influence extraction, helping you achieve a balanced and sweet flavor profile.
Water Temperature & Ratios: Understand the science behind the ideal water temperature and coffee-to-water ratios, and how to manipulate them to unlock new flavors in our premium, single-origin beans.
Every bean you use is a piece of our story, grown with care, from our farm Hacienda Iluminada in Maricao, Puerto Rico and other single origin coffees from Mexico and Colombia. When you master the V60, you're unlocking the full potential of our single-origin beans, bringing the taste of the Caribbean directly to your cup.
We'll guide you step-by-step to achieve the perfect pour, from grinding your beans to the final, aromatic drop. Our V60 Experience is designed for you, the curious beginner and the seasoned home barista alike.
Come and join the workshop and Elevate your coffee experience at home!
