Rochambo Coffee Employee Emergency Relief Fund

Due to the shutdowns across the globe because of COVID-19, all of us at Rochambo Coffeeshop & Teahouse have decided to shut our doors to take precautionary measures to ensure the safety of our employees and our patrons, people we consider to be family. 

It’s no secret that Rochambo has been a Milwaukee staple for years. We take pride in having cultivated a safe, comfortable, and cheerful space for every single person who has walked through our doors. We’re endlessly grateful for those who have helped to shape this space, bought a cup of coffee from us, shared laughs and stories, and beyond. 

By closing our doors, the business and most importantly, our staff will be hurting for a very long time because of this abrupt shut-down continuing for the foreseeable future. Like many bar tending and serving jobs, we all work for minimum wage, and most of us rely on our tips to pay our student loans, rent, groceries, etc. In order to stay afloat, we’re reaching out to YOU— our family, our community— for help. 

Think of this page as a virtual tip jar. For all the laughs, the stories shared, the good days... Please. It’s not easy to ask for help when so many others are struggling, but we really could use the help now more than ever.
