We’re opening a brick-and-mortar Muse Coffee in East Austin to create jobs, showcase local artists, and build a daily “third place” for Black and Brown communities. Your donation helps fund permits, buildout, and the equipment needed to open.

Muse Coffee started with a truck and a lot of determination. But the mission was always bigger than a cup: make specialty coffee feel like it includes us—Black ownership, Black creativity, and a place where community isn’t an afterthought.

Why now: We’re ready to move into a permanent home in East Austin so we can hire locally, host artists consistently, and build something that lasts.

What your donation funds (opening costs):

What we’re building: a shop where you can grab your morning coffee and stay a minute—artist features, community events, and real first-job opportunities in coffee.

If you’ve ever supported Muse from the truck, this is the next chapter. If you’re new here: welcome. Whether it’s $10 or $100, you’re helping open doors—literally.

(No raffles, sweepstakes, giveaways, or returns on investment are offered in exchange for any donations made to this GoFundMe.)
