About Chris
Beth and Alan Woodrum are the proud parents of three boys - the youngest, Chris, has Down Syndrome. Chris was blessed with two older brothers that taught him he could accomplish anything he put his mind to and to set goals and never give up. Chris has so many wonderful gifts and talents. He loves life and always brings a smile to anyone who meets him. Beth (along with Chris's input!) developed Chris's Coffee & Custard as a way to help bridge the gap between the community and the people with intellectual and developmental disabilities who are integrating themselves in the workplace and everyday life - becoming more valued, accepted and included in our local community.
Come see us
Although we will offer a wide variety of hot and iced drinks and mouth watering custard, we also provide savory and sweet food options. So whether you're stopping for your morning coffee, lunch, or an afternoon snack, we've got you covered! Sunny days guarantee that our patio will be full of guests enjoying a drink or treat. On not-so-sunny days, we also offer comfortable seating inside our cafe with free wifi and plenty of outlets. Once you visit Chris's and experience the unique customer service experience, you will definitely become a customer for life! The hugs and high-fives are free. Share a dance and take a picture with one of our employees. I promise you will leave with a smile on your face and a happy heart!
