• Let's Make a Reel with Genevieve LaValle (May 8)

With each floor now renovated, Mainframe was looking to foster ways for the creative community to build connections. "That's when we learned that Malique Miller of Ken Supply Co in Studio #235 is part owner of Happy Home Coffee," said Mainframe's Executive Director Siobhan Spain. "It was an easy win-win decision."  

Happy Home Coffee will move into a studio on Mainframe's 4th floor in the coming months.

About Happy Home Coffee

Co-owned by Malique Miller, Carlos Sims Jr, and Eliot Barker, Happy Home Coffee was created to cultivate joy and belonging.  Working with the motto of people over coffee,  the owners started Happy Home Coffee because coffee naturally creates spaces of happiness and connectivity. They long to belong to that community and participate in that work. This is why they say that they aren't simply in the coffee business, but see themselves as being in the people business.
