"The buzz is building all around town about Good Day Café, and for good reason. Good Day opened its doors in late August 2018 in State College in the Hamilton Square Shopping Plaza, this café is about much more than coffee and food. An initiative of Strawberry Fields, Good Day Café is staffed with adults with intellectual disabilities and mental health diagnoses. The café provides much-needed employment opportunities and creates meaningful experiences for employees and customers alike to enhance understanding of and respect for all members of our community."
