There’s a little coffee shop in Decatur that’s poured more than just coffee… it’s poured love, music, healing, and hope into the community.
Waller’s Coffee Shop was founded by local musician Jason Waller, who turned his own battle with depression into a mission: to create a space where people could feel safe, seen, and supported. Since opening, Waller’s has hosted open mics, support groups, toddler music hours, jam sessions, poetry nights, and mental health events, all rooted in connection and compassion.
When the world shut down, Waller’s stepped up: offering free coffee to healthcare workers, keeping music going online, and showing up for the people who needed it most.
Now they need our help.
After years of financial strain, break-ins, and rising costs, Waller’s is in real danger of closing. But I believe places like this matter, because it’s more than a coffee shop. It’s a lifeline for so many.
If this story moves you, please consider sharing it, visiting if you’re nearby, or just spreading the word. Places like Waller’s are rare, and worth fighting for. 💛
