Mychal’s Café in Redondo Beach isn’t just a coffee shop. It’s a training ground for young adults with developmental disabilities, helping them build professional skills. Founded by Ed Lynch, the café offers a diverse menu and a warm, inclusive environment. It’s more than just a place to grab a latte; it’s a beacon of hope and empowerment. Lynch hopes the café will inspire other businesses to see the potential in hiring individuals with disabilities. The new spot also features an herb garden and sells items from Mychal’s clothing line. It’s a place where everyone is welcome, and labels are left at the door.
