Established in 2018, Isaac's was created as an expansion of the non-profit Isaac's Room. Our other location, The IKE Box coffee shop, has been furthering our mission since 2004. Isaac's expands our opportunities to train, mentor, and employ divested youth in an apprenticeship program that restores dignity and builds self-sufficiency through belonging to a team, gaining skills, and working hard. Our mission is for young people, but our vision is restored community. Everybody knows that we can’t have truly healthy young people without an engaged, caring community, but we also assert that we can’t have a truly healthy community without engaged, caring young people.

“Ordered The Court Street, the black bean burrito, and earl gray tea, and everything was phenomenal. They did initially bring out the wrong burrito, but they were quick to bring out a replacement and more than happy to make it up to us. Great place!!”

“Such a great spot for coffee and breakfast! Stoped by to grab some drinks along with a bagel. They had a build your own sandwich option which I ended up going with. The bagel was pretty good. Also, the staff were super friendly and open to any questions we had. They also offered honey in coffees and matchas, the coffee with honey was great! The place itself was clean and pleasant to be in, definitely recommend! Also parking worked out well for us, there was quite a bit of street parking available.”

“10/10 food, coffee, staff, and atmosphere. Wifi is also fast (130/60 mbps). I ordered the Court St, and it was super yummy. Ingredients tasted fresh. My partner ordered a bagel sandwich, and he said it tasted great! I got one of the seasonal lattes—the “PNW” which had cinnamon, ginger, and cardamom. My partner got a white mocha. The place gets SUPER busy around 9:30-10 am on the weekends, so you’ll want to reserve a table or be okay waiting for one to open up. But, busy places are GOOD places.”

“Such a fantastic place! I loved every part of the experience here, from the food, to ambience, to coffee, and all else. I’d have been a regular if I lived here. Competitively priced as well. 5 stars is not enough!”
