Our Story

Hello all, we are Kimi and Keith. We love coffee and people. Refuge Coffeehouse has been open since September of 2019, and being in the Lents Community is more than a business venture for us. We have much love for this area and are excited to be a part of the community. We have been involved in community outreaches here and have witnessed the people come together to create a vibrant area. That’s the kind of community we want to belong to, one that helps their neighbors and a place where everyone can thrive.
Refuge Coffeehouse strives be a welcoming, friendly space serving the Lents neighborhood high-quality coffee; a place for people to come and experience coffee in a variety of ways; with multiple brewing methods. We are focused on a hand-crafted style service to make each cup special every time. We feature coffees from local coffee roasters, Intent Coffee Roasters and Dapper & Wise. We want every coffee drinker to come and experience great coffee no matter if it’s your first time or you’re a coffee connoisseur.
We want to be an accessible, high-quality coffee experience while providing a community space for friendly hangouts and meetings. We have a mix of mid-century American and European café atmosphere. The tables are round to invite conversations. We play music from many genres; Jazz, Big Band, Motown, to 80s radio artists. We want everyone to come in receiving the refuge atmosphere. The sights, the sounds, and aromas will all point to the meaning of a coffee break. A break from the bustle of the day, a moment to stop and enjoy something wonderful.
