Ruthie’s Grilled Cheese Shop in Dallas has recently expanded its menu to include a variety of coffee drinks, addressing a local need for a nearby coffee spot. Originally established as a food truck in 2011, Ruthie’s has evolved into a permanent restaurant, focusing on serving underserved communities. With the new coffee offerings, residents no longer need to travel far for their morning caffeine fix.
• The menu now features lattes, cappuccinos, and unique drinks like horchata and Nutella lattes.
• All net proceeds from the restaurant go to St. Philip's, a local school and community center.
• Ruthie’s provides job opportunities for individuals re-entering society after incarceration.
• The coffee is sourced from Tre Stelle, a local roaster inspired by East African flavors.
This initiative is significant as it not only meets a community demand but also supports local education and employment, fostering a sense of community and social responsibility.
