About Us
About Build:
Build Coffee is a café and bookstore that straddles the Hyde Park and Woodlawn neighborhoods of Chicago. Our building, Experimental Station, is full of neighboring tenants doing work we believe in, from a weekly independent farmers market to multiple civic journalism projects.
Historically, Build has provided local grassroots organizations with free and discounted catering and meeting space. In the pandemic, we co-launched Market Box, a mutual aid initiative that crowdfunded to bulk-buy local produce and distribute it to neighbors across the South Side; that project is now two years strong, and distributes to over 400 families a month.
On a daily basis, we seek to be a haven, hotbed, and hub for a diverse group of activists, journalists, students, and neighbors of all ages. We care deeply about our room, our coffee, and our food and strive to take good care of people on both sides of the counter.
