• About Us

    donate Coffee Strong is a veteran-owned, veteran-operated GI coffeehouse. Veterans provide a safe place for soldiers to share the effects of disastrous wars, within 300 meters of the gates at Ft Lewis. The unique coffeehouse welcomes soldiers with a free cup of coffee. There is access to the Internet, an informative library, and many referrals are available to community resources, including GI Rights counseling and Veterans Benefits. Free legal and educational resources are available.

Speakers Bureau


Coffee Strong believes community education is a crucial component to achieving lasting change; we offer educators and organizations the opportunity to invite Coffee Strong veterans into their classrooms and meeting spaces to discuss a variety of topics such as war, PTSD, military recruitment, and Coffee Strong’s work. Once invited, Coffee Strong will place you in contact with a veteran willing to engage in frank and honest discussion about their time serving in the military and their experience working with Coffee Strong.

We value providing our community and supporters with opportunities to see Coffee Strong in action, and welcome group visits, by appointment, on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. G.I. Rights and Veteran’s Disability Benefits counseling are provided on Wednesdays and Fridays, we therefore ask that organizations refrain from visiting on those days. During a group visit your class or organization will have a similar opportunity to speak with a veteran about Coffee Strong’s mission and work. If interested in making a group visit please contact us at least two weeks in advance.

Please send us a message at contact@coffeestrong.org to set up an event.
