What does Raytown need, that only its people can build?

East 63rd is much more than a coffee shop. We are owned and operated by The Poiema Project, a community development effort with a focus on bringing the dreams of Raytown's residents and students to life. Through Career and Entrepreneurial Coaching, Life Skills Training, and Collaborative Learning, East 63rd will serve as the gathering place for Raytowners to see their dreams fulfilled.

Your support helps us create a gathering place for the city, and training grounds for our students to unleash the dreams they have into the world. All at 10101 East 63rd St, in the heart of Raytown.

Here's how you can help:

Buy a bag of coffee.
- You can preorder our blend, Unleashed, now for 20 dollars. This specialty blend is bright, juicy, and a perfect representation of the gifts and potential of Raytown.
Become a founder.
- With a 20 dollar monthly donation, you can join our founders club. Your generosity goes to building East 63rd as a local gathering place for Raytown, and supports our coaching and community development programs. Show us your confirmation email at any of our local pop ups and we'll give you a free bag of Unleashed as a thank you.

We believe that everything Raytown needs is already here, it's up to us to bring the dreams of the city to the surface.
