Coffee Uplifts People; Brooklyn brewed … served in Harlem 

New in Harlem (February 2026): The café inside The Africa Center is now proudly serving coffee from Coffee Uplifts People (aka CUP). https://coffeeupliftspeople.com/ 

Located on the ground floor of The Africa Center at 1280 Fifth Ave., right along Central Park near 110th Street, CUP brings bold, beautifully sourced flavors from Ethiopia, Peru, Sumatra, Mexico, and beyond. All specialty beans are roasted in Brooklyn and served fresh in Harlem — a perfect match. https://patch.com/new-york/harlem/bed-stuy-caf-opens-east-harlem-outpost

And yes, this just happens to be one of Angela Yee’s favorite coffee brands 👀☕️

Big shout-out to Angela Yee and to CUP for bringing their rich, soulful flavors to the Harlem coffee scene.
