Our Story
Hazelwood Cafe’s slogan, “Contributing to the Community One Cup of Coffee at a Time,” sums up the cafe’s goal: to give Hazelwood a coffee shop that supports the people who live here. Owner Dasawn Gray was born and raised in the heart of Hazelwood and understood firsthand the benefits of having community-based businesses in the neighborhood.
Dasawn was only 22 years old when he opened the cafe in 2022, after completing rigorous training in coffee entrepreneurship, where he learned about high-quality coffee grown in Africa, the motherland of coffee. He’s excited to showcase flavors from Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, and other African countries.
The cafe’s bright colors and patterned walls, inspired by African designs, reflect the community’s energy and provide a lively background for the many special events sponsored by the cafe. The vibe creates a welcoming environment to relax, work, gather with old friends, or make new friends.
Hazelwood Cafe’s long-term goal is to grow and help the community grow. Dasawn’s vision includes opening another location where he can start roasting coffee. But for now, come into the cafe for delicious coffee drinks, homemade chai, fresh, handcrafted goodies from various other small Pittsburgh businesses, lunch items, and free community events!
