Our Story

Excellence in Passion and Vision

Cafe Barnabas is a platform for student connection. We desire to allow every student who volunteers with us to shine by equipping them with skills and knowledge they can be proud of and YOU can taste in the cup.

Quality Loose Leaf TEA is a sensory rich beverage that provides us with boundless conversation topics and is our primary relational tool.  At Cafe Barnabas, you’ll experience not only a warm, caring environment but one of the best and most innovative cups of tea you can find in this country.

Kombucha MicroBrewery

A Trendy, carbonated beverage hand crafted right in our West Ridge Mall Cafe.  This health packed brew is refreshingly tart.  Our local BoochMaster carefully selects fresh fruits and flavors to pair with tones developed during fermentation. Enjoy in the cafe or grab a growler to go!
