My Half of the Sky is more than a coffee shop. Located in Downtown Wheaton at 121 W. Wesley, this social enterprise has a mission to provide hope and dignity to those affected by extreme poverty, trafficking, or addictions by creating dignified work for women overcoming trauma. Your purchase matters when you buy your java and bakery items from this socially responsible coffee shop that offers an ethical fashion boutique and co-working membership next door at The Kilns located at 115 W. Wesley, starting in spring 2025. Join the movement to learn how you can use your purchasing power to create a better world.

The Kilns expansion involves the creation of a members-only Coworking + Social House two doors down from the coffee shop, providing a collaborative environment for professionals and entrepreneurs. Not ready for membership? They also offer a drop-in day pass with full amenities, which includes a rooftop garden, conference meeting rooms, and a full My Half of the Sky coffee and food menu. 



Named after the home of C.S. Lewis, the famous author of The Chronicles of Narnia, The Kilns was a place of weekly gathering between friends to encourage, sharpen, and imagine a better world through good work + good culture.

The Kilns coworking + social house caters to busy professionals and teams devoted to social impact and personal growth. Designed for professionals and teams, this coworking lounge offers the perfect blend of productivity and creativity. It is a refuge of hospitality, away from the pressures of life to work, relax, connect, think, and live curiously.

My Half of the Sky is a leading example of how businesses can create opportunities for consumers to impact the world through simple, daily routines. Through social responsibility, empowerment, and community building, My Half of the Sky coffee house is changing lives one cup at a time. Whether you're stopping by for a morning java or looking for a space to work and connect, My Half of the Sky invites you to be a part of the global story of hope and dignity.
