Why it matters: This cafe is part of Thistle Farms, a nonprofit social enterprise where women survivors of trafficking, addiction and prostitution find employment alongside free housing, healthcare and job training. Your latte and lunch directly fund that work. Grab a seat for tea, coffee and a light Southern-leaning menu, then browse the adjoining shop of survivor-made bath and body goods.
