Bitty and Beau's coffee shop is a favorite among the locals of Melrose, Massachusetts.
The coffee shop, which just celebrated its two-year anniversary, employs people with intellectual disabilities behind the counter.
❤️☕️ More than a cup of joe... For many of the workers, Bitty and Beau's is their very first job. Such is the case for 19-year-old Joe Sullivan, who couldn't help but jump for joy when his first paycheck came through.
- "I say it every time I leave here; I leave with a full heart," said Joe's mother Tonya. "A lot of times I say you might not be able to change the whole world, but we can change our world right? That's what [Joe is] doing. One coffee at a time."
