Autistic Community Bulletin Board
Adult Coffee Club
Coffee club is a space where Autistic and Neurodiverse adults can connect with each other, foster friendships, and build community while enjoying a favorite beverage and/or snack. Adults are welcome to bring items that make them feel comfortable, can stay as long as they'd like, stim, and parallel play. We ask that participants purchase something from our venues. AuSM will provide a concierge staff to help with questions, check-in, help with ordering, and manage any issues that arise during the club.
Location: 2700 University Ave W. Suite 100. St. Paul, MN 55114.
