Why Momentum Coffee Believes This Moment Matters

Momentum Coffee is standing in solidarity with recent calls for a 24-hour economic blackout, encouraging our community to reflect on where—and with whom—they spend their money. As movements like The People’s Union USA urge consumers to pause spending at large retailers, we believe it's equally important to keep investing in small, Black-owned, and community-rooted businesses.

While the goal is to challenge the influence of corporate power and demand better for our communities, remember this: local businesses are not the problem. They're the solution.

☕ Momentum Coffee: Fueling Change One Cup at a Time

Founded in 2020 by Nikki Bravo and Tracy Powell, Momentum Coffee operates across Chicago with locations in South Loop, Millennium Park, and Englewood. We’re more than a coffee shop—we're a hub for community, entrepreneurship, and social impact.

We serve handcrafted coffee, provide co-working and event spaces, and invest in the local economy. When you support Momentum Coffee, you're not just buying a latte—you’re investing in jobs, equity, and opportunity.
