Recovery Café San Jose

Recovery Café San José is a membership-based café and community of support in downtown San José for people recovering from addiction, homelessness, incarceration, mental-health challenges, and other life trauma. Its nonsectarian approach combines hospitality, peer connection, and accountability to help people build stability and pursue recovery.

Programs include shared healthy meals, Recovery Circles, workshops and classes focused on recovery, trauma support, healthy living, and practical life skills. Members can also access job-skills pathways such as barista and culinary training, ServSafe food-handling certification, and supported peer employment. These services are designed to support goals related to housing, employment, family connection, and emotional well-being.

Founded in 2014, Recovery Café San José provides ongoing community and recovery support beyond periods of immediate crisis.
