In 2007, the Indiana Regional Medical Center asked us if we would be interested in having a small shop in their lobby. We immediately said yes. We have all spent times in hospitals – they’re scary, tiring, and confusing. Our goal at this shop was to be a friendly face the moment you walk into the hospital. We can make you a latte and give you directions to where you need to go. 

We support nurses and doctors on their breaks and new moms and dads here. We’ve celebrated, and we’ve held each other close. For us, the Commonplace at IRMC represents that serving coffee is about more than just handing someone a cup.
