Our Norfolk location, established July 2020, is a 5,000 sq ft restored historic warehouse in the Railroad District in Park Place. Coalescence is a nonprofit organization with a vision to inspire diverse people to coalesce through creating vibrant, inclusive community gathering spaces where individuals and organizations can come together to share ideas, build connections, and make a positive impact in our neighborhood and beyond. Community around coffee is an ancient tradition that we believe is worth preserving, expressed here through thoughtfully sourced coffees from farms across the globe and a space designed for connection. At our core, it’s about coffee and community.
