We can make a world without poverty
Beanchain is worker directed. The people doing the work have a real say in how the business runs, and that is not a slogan on a wall: it is the reason the workspace is free, the reason Pay It Forward exists, and the reason we would rather sell you a coffee than rent you a chair.
Pay It Forward is the simplest version of it. Somebody buys a meal in advance, a local business provides it, and whoever needs it collects it. No questions, nothing to prove, and nobody has to explain themselves to get fed. It runs at pifboard.com now, which makes it tax deductible and means the money stays with local businesses.

Questions we get asked
- Can I work from Beanchain all day?
- Yes. The shared workspace is free and open during opening hours, with no day rate, no membership and nothing to book. Buy a coffee and the desk is yours for the day. We built the room for people who need somewhere to get a full day done.
- Do I have to pay to use the workspace?
- No. There is no charge for the workspace, no day rate and nothing to join. We are a coffee shop, and buying something is how the room stays free, so if you are settling in for the day, get a coffee.
- Is the WiFi free, and are there power outlets?
- The WiFi is free and there is power at nearly every seat. Ask at the counter for the network password. Bringing a laptop and a charger and staying a while is the intended use, not an inconvenience.
- Can I rent a room for a meeting?
- Yes. The conference room is bookable by the hour through Peerspace, which handles the calendar and the payment. It suits interviews, client meetings, small workshops and recording. Book the conference room
- Do you have vegan and gluten free options?
- Yes, both, and not just as an afterthought. Any sandwich can be made as a bowl to keep it gluten free, or on Dave’s bread to keep it vegan. The Rustic and The Snacker are vegan as they come, Day Oats are vegan and gluten free, and the brownie is certified gluten free and arrives sealed rather than out of our kitchen.
- Do you serve breakfast all day?
- Yes, and not just breakfast: the whole menu is available all day, 8am to 5pm. The Breakfast Sandwich, the breakfast burritos, Breakfast In Bed and both kinds of oats do not stop at eleven, and neither do the lunch sandwiches if that is what you want at opening.
- Is there a happy hour?
- Yes. All sandwiches are 15% off from 1pm to 4pm, Monday to Friday.
- Where are you and is there parking?
- We are at 1110 W Southern Ave, #8, Mesa, AZ 85210, in the plaza on West Southern Avenue, and there is parking right outside.
- What are your hours?
- Open every day, 8am to 5pm. The same hours every day, including weekends.
