They do not pay their workers yet have the money to pump into ads on Instagram.
DO NOT SUPPORT THIS “NON-PROFIT”. Clearly mentally UNwell.

Claim they care about mental health but literally did not pay their workers. So much so that one is living off the kindness of others and can be evicted. Do NOT go to them or work for them. They are not kind and they do not care.

When I say this was the most personable experience I’ve had at a coffee shop. It was FANTASTIC! Not only was the owner (who is also the barista) super awesome. The drink I got was probably one of the BEST tea lattes I’ve ever had. He is willing to customize your coffee/tea/lemonade however you want. I loved my experience and will be back!

I just stopped by this morning!!! I recently began my mental health journey and this place is so cool!!! Very inviting! Amazing drinks and atmosphere!!! Christopher was opening when my sister and I came in, in the morning, his smile and inviting demeanor made me feel welcome and calm. I wish I lived closer to come more often and get involved!!! This amazing concept and execution should be everywhere!!! Let’s get this going!!! Thank you guys for creating a spot like this! Love to all!! Check this place out and support it!!!

While visiting for the weekend, we were happy to find a place dedicated to break the stigma around mental health as well as be a safe space in community while serving great coffee and donuts 🍩 - including a delicious gf chocolate donut!

I accidentally left my review as a question not a review, but here it goes.
I work in nonprofits, focusing on mental health, queer, and disabled communities.
Accessibility: No ramp, not wheelchair-friendly. Price: A bit pricey, but profits support youth services. Flavor: Good coffee, including decaf options. Creativity: Cozy space with unique drinks and merch, though the playlist could use more hip hop. Mission: I returned for their mission, mental health is important.
If they grow, they need to improve accessibility. And maybe reconsider some drink names.
I felts safe here even as a queer person, just know so many people could be missing out on their services not just as a coffee shop but as a non profit because of accessibility.
For that is a 4.

I’ve never felt so welcome at a coffee shop before!! The workers here are so so sweet. I got the Rihanna at the Met and Frank Ocean and they are both so good. I think the ice is also made of coffee so it doesn’t dilute over time. Definitely will be back!! The vibes are so good and coffee is definitely the best I’ve had in Chicago so far.
Had the best London Fog latte here than I’ve had in a long time. Perfectly brewed, perfect balance of tea, milk, lavender. Service is amazing- prompt, friendly, lots of good suggestions on the menu. This is an awesome working space - lots of space, great aesthetics, good background music, and interesting drink options (and some snacks).

I stopped by a few months ago when it was still Coffee, Hip-Hop, and Mental Health (which is the name I prefer, but 'Normalize Therapy' isn't bad either).
Sometimes, I wait a little while before leaving a review to fully gauge how much a spot has made an impression on me, but this is long overdue. I kid you not, I think about this shop at least a few times a week. I live in the South Suburbs, so it's a challenge to go all the way north of the city every now and then, but I try to stop by as soon as I get the chance.
My barista caught me scrutinizing the menu for a while. She asked me what was up, and I mentioned I was looking for matcha. Even though it wasn't listed on the menu at the time, she made it for me! I love everything about this cafe's mission, vibe, aesthetic. It was a great place to study and get some work done. I really, really wanted one of the hoodies that said COFFEE, HIP-HOP, AND MENTAL HEALTH. I don't know if they're still being sold, but I'll try to cop one if I can.

Finally stopped in here and I’m so glad I did. Not only was my mocha outstanding, but I felt recognized and appreciated in the space which felt cozy and warm in the best way. I will be back to continue to support this beautiful community organization! ?
DO NOT GO HERE!
