What is The Inclusive Brew?

The Inclusive Brew is a community-focused café built on the values of inclusivity, connection, and belonging. We serve thoughtfully sourced beverages and goods in a space designed to affirm and uplift everyone — especially those in marginalized communities.

Where are you located and when are you opening?

We’re in the process of opening our first physical location in Fairfield, CT! While we don’t have an exact opening date just yet, we’re working hard behind the scenes to bring The Inclusive Brew to life. Follow us on Instagram @TheInclusiveBrew for updates, behind-the-scenes progress, and ways to support our launch.

What does “inclusive” mean to you?
To us, inclusivity means creating a space where all identities — including LGBTQIA+ folks, people of color, neurodivergent individuals, and people of all abilities — feel safe, seen, and celebrated. Our space is designed with intention, from our staff training to our community programming.

Is this a queer-owned business?
Yes! The Inclusive Brew is proudly queer-owned, and our mission is rooted in advocacy, joy, and building affirming community spaces.

How are you supporting the local community?
We aim to partner with local makers, host community events and workshops, offer pay-it-forward options, and create opportunities for mutual aid.
