More than a coffee shop, Café O’Play will be a welcoming neighborhood gathering space—a place where high-quality coffee, thoughtfully prepared food, and warm hospitality come together in a family-friendly environment. Designed to support caregivers, educators, families, and community members, Café O’Play will reflect Urban Sprouts’ values of connection, creativity, and intentionality. The Cafe will be unique because it is part of a larger nonprofit, Urban Sprouts Child Development Center. We want the spirit of Urban Sprouts to shine through. That spirit emphasizes joy and play and we want our cafe to be a play-forward community gathering space. During the day, the cafe will operate like a more typical specialty coffee shop and cafe. In the afternoons and evenings, it will house separate programs, an afterschool tutoring program and a program that fights food insecurity by providing meals at no cost to children and families in need (these program will be run separately from the cafe but the GM should have a collaborative spirit and a heart for nonprofit work and community wellbeing since we are a cohesive team). The café will balance exceptional specialty coffee standards with accessibility and a joyful atmosphere—creating a space where people feel cared for, staff feel empowered, and community relationships can grow. About Urban Sprouts Founded in 2009 by educator and advocate Ellicia Lanier, Urban Sprouts was created from the belief that every child deserves to be nurtured, seen, and celebrated. Inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, Urban Sprouts provides a learning environment where children are viewed as capable, curious individuals who actively construct their own learning alongside educators and families. Community, collaboration, and respect are at the heart of everything we do—and Café O’Play is a natural extension of that philosophy. Position Summary The General Manager of Café O’Play will play a foundational role in bringing this new café to life. This position blends hospitality leadership, operational excellence, and community-building, with a strong emphasis on people—both guests and team members. The General Manager will be responsible for leading the café team with our Director of Storytelling and Engagement, establishing systems and culture from the ground up, and ensuring consistently high standards of coffee quality, service, and guest experience.
