About Us
A Unique First
in Central PA
We are a nonprofit coffee shop in State College, PA, created by Strawberry Fields, Inc. in response to the staggering 80% unemployment rate among people with disabilities. Our hashtag, #CoffeeWithACause, reflects our mission to provide meaningful employment for adults with autism, intellectual disabilities, and mental health diagnoses.
​
Good Day Café is a place where people of all abilities can contribute, belong, and be celebrated. Employment offers purpose, financial stability, independence, and confidence—benefits everyone deserves. Inspired by Bitty & Beau’s Coffee in Wilmington, N.C., we’re committed to making a positive impact, one cup at a time.
​
Since opening our doors in 2018, we’ve provided jobs for 18 individuals with disabilities and with every purchase, you help us continue that mission.

Why Inclusive Hiring Matters
Breaking Barriers

autism, intellectual disabilities, and mental health diagnoses,
we create opportunities for dignity, pride, and independence. We open doors to careers

fosters empathy, respect, and understanding between people of all abilities, reminding us that community is strongest when everyone belongs.
Celebrating Unique Talents and Perspectives
Our employees bring creativity, problem-solving skills, and fresh ideas shaped by their unique experiences. These qualities don’t just make our café run—they make it thrive.
