Quarantine-Coffee

Welcome to Quarantine Cofffee! We're pleased to announce a new platform for a Virtual Coffee Shop! What is a virtual coffee shop? With coffee shops and gathering places closing across the country, now more than ever we miss social interaction. The chance to be in a cozy and warm environment shared by others, chat with friends and strangers alike, to chat about which type of book is best. Our Quarantine Coffee team aims to create a space just like this, a space that you can chat, read, and connect, all without stepping outside your door. Bring your own coffee, pull up a chair and join a table. Have a chat, meet new people, invite your friends to join you, or just listen to others chat while you work.
