NOAHS AGAPE CAFE

Noah’s Agape Cafe is a community-focused, faith-based nonprofit coffee shop in the Jacksonville/Fruit Cove area that provides vocational training and supported employment for people with intellectual differences. It operates as a public, donor-facing charity and a gathering place that serves locally roasted coffee, baked goods, and products made in partnership with local special education programs. The organization partners with the Down Syndrome Association of Jacksonville, Best Buddies of North Florida, and the North Florida School of Special Education to mentor, train, and employ program participants; it also retails items produced by partner students (for example, Barkin Biscuits). Noah’s Agape Cafe was incorporated in Florida in September 2021 and received federal 501(c)(3) recognition in January 2022; recent annual/990 filings through 2023–2024 show active program-service revenue and ongoing operations, indicating the organization is currently operating and serving its mission.
