Our Story
For Linda, the journey towards Brian's Café began with a tragic chapter for her family. In 2020, Linda lost her son Brian to the devastating outcome related to mental health consequences and street drugs. Brian succumbed to fentanyl poisoning after a
harrowing period of homelessness and living in shelters. He was 25. Linda and her family had supported The Mustard Seed for years and became early supporters of Ogden Hub:29, seeking a transformative way to honour Brian's memory
and support their community - and Brian’s Café became the perfect way to do so.
Brian's Café is more than just a coffee shop. It's a community hub where people from all walks of life can come together and enjoy great coffee, delicious pastries, and meaningful connections. It symbolizes a shared vision
of community strength. In memory of Brian, Brian's Café is a living tribute to hope and resilience. It serves as a space where the community can unite to heal, connect, and grow. Each shared cup and conversation contribute to building
a stronger, more compassionate community.
