Hugs Cafe Expands Dallas Presence, Employing Adults with Disabilities
Hugs Cafe Inc. is a non-profit offering training and employment for adults with intellectual and development disabilities. Through its cafe, greenhouse, and other programs, Hugs Cafe aims to address high unemployment rates for this population. A second cafe location is set to open in Dallas on Dec. 8, 2025. Beyond Hugs Cafe's model, other alternatives include integrated employment, where neurodivergent employees work alongside others in mainstream workplaces.
