The Sospeso Café is more than a place to grab a cup of coffee—it’s a space where community begins. Every drink poured and every table shared reflects our belief that belonging isn’t earned; it’s extended through genuine connection. Here, neighbors, students, and families can slow down, find meaningful conversation, and feel part of something real.

Our thrift store is built on the idea that renewal can be both practical and beautiful. Every item on our shelves tells a story of shared generosity, where one person’s gift becomes another’s new beginning. Proceeds directly support our community programs, creating a cycle of dignity, sustainability, and care. Shopping here means participating in a community rooted in hope and restoration.

Through the Pomona Learning Loft, students and mentors come together to spark curiosity, confidence, and belonging. Whether it’s after-school tutoring, mentorship, or skill-building, each session is grounded in relationship, not performance. We meet kids where they are—celebrating growth, encouraging discovery, and reminding them they have what it takes to thrive.

The Sospeso Teaching Kitchen is a space for nourishment in every sense of the word. We gather around food to share knowledge, culture, and connection, empowering neighbors to cook, learn, and care for one another. From practical skills to shared meals, the kitchen is where generosity becomes tangible and community grows stronger.

Our job readiness and workforce programs are designed to restore confidence and open doors to meaningful opportunity. We walk alongside participants as they build skills, write resumes, and rediscover purpose through dignified work. Whether it’s a first job or a new beginning, we focus on empowerment and the steady process of rebuilding hope.

Sospeso’s co-working and meeting spaces provide room for ideas to take root and collaboration to flourish. Entrepreneurs, nonprofits, and community leaders use these spaces to create, learn, and partner with purpose. With reliable Wi-Fi, shared resources, and a spirit of hospitality, our rooms are designed to foster creativity and connection.

At the heart of Sospeso is the belief that healing happens in relationship. Our counseling and mental health services provide a safe, welcoming space for individuals and families to be seen, supported, and renewed. We approach care with humility and presence—listening before leading, and honoring the courage it takes to ask for help. Here, every person is treated with dignity, respect, and compassion.
