COFFEE SHOP IN A MEDICAL CLINIC?
We’ve heard this question plenty of times over the past few months:
“WHY IS THIS COFFEE SHOP INSIDE A DOCTOR’S OFFICE?”
We see this as a very valid question. How does this change the experience for patients and coffee-enthusiasts alike?
As it turns out, there are numerous benefits to having such an establishment in a medical setting. What do you think of when you envision a typical waiting room: cold, stuffy discomfort? I know that’s what we used to think of. So at Breathe & Brew, we sought to revolutionize this perception entirely.
By integrating a coffee shop into the ENT Center’s lobby, we provide a warm and inviting space for patients to not feel like a patient. A place to unwind before or after their appointment, a place for them to come to even without an appointment, a place for anyone regardless of their patient status to come and enjoy a great cup of coffee.
That leads us to the second half of our mission: the symbolism of our commitment to integrated health and well-being. Beyond being in a place that offers medical services, our coffee shop serves as a hub for community connection, fostering a sense of belonging and comfort to all who enter. We want it to be known our doors are open to any and all - whether you’re a student looking for a place to study or in a rush on your morning commute to work!
We take comfort in blending these two realms - healthcare and hospitality - to enrich the lives of those we serve, and we can’t wait for the opportunity to welcome each new face that comes through our doors.
