Bushwick Grind, a café in Williamsburg, New York, is making a difference in both the coffee industry and its local community. Founded by Kymme Williams-Davis and Raymond Davis in 2015, the café emphasizes ethical sourcing and community support. Williams-Davis ensures that their coffee is fairly traded, paying farmers justly, and sources their house espresso from a single farmer in Ethiopia. Locally, Bushwick Grind addresses food insecurity with their "Two Fish, Five Loaves" community fridge, which provides food and essential items to those in need. The initiative reflects a broader movement in New York City to creatively combat food scarcity, particularly exacerbated by the pandemic. Bushwick Grind not only serves as a café but also as a beacon of community support and ethical business practices.
