Overflow shares the building space with several other organizations that serve the community - meaning when you step into Overflow you have the opportunity to enjoy a great cup of coffee or tea along with a sweet treat or sandwich while either working, meeting your neighbors or getting involved in the community. Coffee bars are known to help connect with people you usually do not interact with - Overflow has found a great way of making this possible. The atmosphere is inviting, the staff is friendly and there is even a small outdoor patio.
Another interesting fact about Overflow is that they use the supply chain of "direct trade", which means that there is equality between the retailer, roasters and farmers.
Overflow's mission is "to inspire a genuine and local community of people who change the world with their purchasing power, time and talents". Ethical economics - products of high quality, fair-labor and environmentally-friendly practices - as well as community building - bringing neighbors and people from all different backgrounds together - are priorities at Overflow.
So next time, when you are in the mood for a great cup of coffee, come over to Overflow and see what I saw, I'm sure you will like it!

Interessant ist auch, dass Overflow den Kaffee direkt beziehet, das bedeutet das alle beteiligten - der Einzelhandel, der Kaffeeröster und auch der Bauer - fair an diesem Geschäft verdienen.
Overflow's Mission ist "eine wahre und lokale Gemeinde von Leuten zu inspirieren, die die Welt mit ihrer Einkaufsmacht, Zeit und Talent verändern". "Ethische Wirtschaft" - hoch qualitative Produkte, gerechte Löhne und Umweltfreundlichkeit - so wie "Aufbau einer Gemeinde" von Nachbarn und Leuten mit unterschiedlichen Erfahrungen - zählen zu den Prioritäten von Overflow.
Also, wenn ihr das nächste Mal Lust auf einen Kaffee habt, dann schaut doch mal bei Overflow vorbei, ich bin mir sicher es wird Euch gefallen.
