Brewpoint Coffee
617 N York Rd, Elmhurst IL
ABOUT
What started as a dream, turned into a shop, and expanded into a company in just three short years. Melissa and Angelo took the leap in buying a coffee shop in September 2014 with little knowledge of what Brewpoint could become. We are a company that is in the business of creating authentic community spaces through coffee. We have three coffee shops in Elmhurst, IL and a growing wholesale company dedicated to helping other cafes make their own community spaces in their neighborhoods.

What Makes Us Tick
ENGAGEMENT: WE BELIEVE THAT IT IS IMPORTANT TO BE PRESENT AND HAVE A VOICE IN THE WAYS THAT WE INTERACT. WHETHER IT IS AS INDIVIDUALS OR AS A PLATFORM, WE DON'T WANT TO SHY AWAY BUT THOUGHTFULLY ENGAGE IN EVERYTHING WE DO.
KINDNESS: WE BELIEVE THAT BREWPOINT IS ONLY WORTH DOING IF IT MAKES THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE, AND YOU CAN'T DO THAT WITHOUT KINDNESS. A QUOTE THAT RINGS TRUE FOR US IS, "BE KIND, FOR EVERYONE IS FIGHTING A BATTLE THAT YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT."
DIVERSITY: THIS INCLUDES BOTH EQUITY AND EQUALITY. WE BELIEVE THAT ALL PEOPLE, NO MATTER WHAT CATEGORIES, HAVE IMMENSE WORTH AND DIGNITY. DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE AND BACKGROUNDS ONLY ADD TO OUR CREATIVITY AND SUCCESS. 
THOUGHTFULNESS: WE BELIEVE THAT REFLECTION ON OUR ACTIONS AND INTENTIONS ARE IMPERATIVE TO TREATING PEOPLE WELL. WE ALSO BELIEVE OUR BUSINESS DECISIONS AND STRUCTURES REFLECT OUR VALUES AND WE STRIVE TO HAVE THOUGHTFULNESS PERMEATE EVERYTHING WE DO.
RESPECT: WE BELIEVE THAT IF WE START FROM A FOUNDATION OF RESPECTING OUR POLICIES, OUR FELLOW EMPLOYEES, OUR MANAGERS, AND OUR CUSTOMERS; WE ARE ALL ABLE TO DO OUR JOBS AT A HIGH LEVEL.
GROWTH: WE BELIEVE THAT WE CAN ALWAYS DO A LITTLE BETTER EVERY DAY. THIS MEANS SEEKING FEEDBACK FOR IMPROVEMENT, EMBRACING CONSTRUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS, AND LOOKING FOR WAYS TO HELP THOSE AROUND YOU GROW AS WELL.
