A honey-themed café in North Lawndale has a passion for serving sweet treats, and serving the community, as a hub for all things good.
Do you ever find yourself in North Lawndale just dying for a cup of coffee, or maybe even just a breakfast sandwich, but you don't want to go to McDonald's and you don't want to go to Popeye's?There's a lot going on at the beelove café, and not just due to the foot traffic, though that's definitely a part of it.
The café is a venture of the North Lawndale Employment Network , a nonprofit that works to eradicate poverty in the neighborhood. It's the only handcrafted café in North Lawndale, but serving food and drinks only represents a fraction of what they're doing to serve the community, and all of it is rooted in collaboration.Their free library is populated by donations from Open Books, another nonprofit in the community.
"Tasty Pastries has got our beelove honey infused with the biscuit recipe, and then we got some beelove honey dripped on top. You see that golden biscuit; so delicious" Dukes said. "We have apiaries all over Chicago. We have one across the street. We have one on top of this very building. And then we have an O'Hare location as well. So, yeah, so we're getting our honey from different areas for sure," Dukes said."The way that we're creating these beginnings is that we're helping people who have been formerly incarcerated reintegrate back into the society. They've done their time. They're looking to get back into the workforce.
