A Coffee Shop Created by Bears, for Bears

Need a coffee break between classes? At Ursuline, you can head to the Bearista Cafe!

The Bearista Cafe first opened on campus in fall 2018 after three Ursuline seniors came up with the idea as a class project. They researched the concept, found a local partner in Park Avenue Coffee, and presented their vision to Ursuline Administration. Their idea became a reality—and the Bearista Cafe has been serving up drinks to Bears ever since!

Today, the Bearista Cafe is completely student-run, giving Ursuline students the opportunity to gain real-world experience while creating a fun spot for the school community to gather. And there’s an extra special reason to grab your favorite drink: all proceeds from the Bearista Cafe go toward Ursuline student scholarships.

So, whether you're grabbing a coffee before your first class, catching up with friends or fueling up for a busy day, the Bearista Cafe is one more way that everyday Ursuline life is a little sweeter—and helps make an Ursuline education possible for future Bears.
