DC Coffee Co in Pineslopes is a non-profit coffee shop. Its goal is to give back to the local community through educational, environmental, social, or economic development initiatives. Neil and Samantha Golding opened DC Coffee Co and started brewing kindness in the community. One of their heartwarming initiatives is the "Pay it Forward Coffee Wall". This wall allows customers to purchase a meal or voucher card for someone else in need.
How "Pay it Forward Coffee Wall" got its start
After some personal hardship in their family, the Goldings came into a modest garage being used as a farm coffee shop in February 2017 when they discovered Riversands Farm Village. After two weeks of volunteering and learning how to make coffee, the family took over the garage and formed DC Coffee Co. A year later, the Goldings opened a physical store in Pineslopes and relocated there full-time. Despite their financial constraints, they established the "Pay it Forward" coffee wall to continue brewing kindness in the neighbourhood. This coffee shop continued to be a safe space for the community even during Covid-19. This coffee shop gives off positive energy!
