At Principles GI Coffee Shop in Gowanus, owner Katie Bishop said while many customers find the lack of a tip screen “refreshing” she has had some pushback on her prices — $4 for a drip coffee and $7 for a cappuccino.
Katie Bishop, who owns Principles Coffee House, is a military veteran with a “compulsion to serve” — through coffee or other means. In her current career, she sees her service as paying her employees the highest possible wage: $25 an hour. Her cafe also offers “pay what you wish” coffee and espressos.
Katie Bishop is the owner of Principles GI Coffee House, which was inspired by the egalitarian, antiwar coffeehouses that sprung up around military bases during the Vietnam War.
Last month, as people from all over the world came to New York City to celebrate WorldPride, The New York Times asked readers to, in ten words or less, tell us who they are.
