STOCKTON – There’s a place in downtown Stockton buzzing with excitement. It’s called The Well and it first opened its doors two years ago.
“So, this is the area seating for all of the people. Awesome baristas are here Monday through Friday,” said Naiah Williams, the executive director at The Well.
When visitors walk into the white building on the corner of West Rose and North Center Streets, they’ll find a trendy coffee shop with comfy chairs and its own roasting machine.
But this hidden gem in downtown Stockton is many things wrapped in one.
“We wanted to be a one-stop shop where folks can come to and know there’s something inside the well for everyone to reach in and benefit from,” Williams said.
The grass-roots non-profit provides free hands-on vocational training in the culinary arts, coffee roastery, photography, graphic design and a lot more. Their goal is to mentor and train others to find financial success.
