The Exceptional Bean is an inclusive coffee shop that started as a small dream and has quickly become a reality thanks to the community of Cookeville. Our founder, Cigi England, wanted to create a space for individuals with disabilities to find employment and community. The Exceptional Bean is a non-profit organization that serves delicious coffee and cultivates an environment that is encouraging and welcoming for all.
