Our Mission
Ujamaa Café™, is a practice of community care and economics through supporting neighborhood revitalization at the intersection of health and food equity. Ujamaa, meaning “brotherhood” or “extended family” in Swahili and celebrated annually during Kwanzaa as the fourth principle committing practitioners to “cooperative economics" is the demonstration of community care.
About Ujamaa Cafe™
Ujamaa Cafe is a cashless, de-surveilled grab-and-go vending option with health forward premade breakfast, lunch, snack, and beverage options. Food options are stored in our refrigerators for patrons to view, select, and purchase. Our machines offer an innovative model for offering healthy meals to diverse patrons, sharing nutritional information, and supporting the local small business economy through strategic partnerships with food businesses and entrepreneurs.
All Ujamaa refrigerators are located within a community agency that provides open access to our Ujamaa.

How it Works
With our community Ujamaa the customer is able to touch a product before buying. Once the door is closed, the kiosk automatically knows what was taken. All that’s required is a single electrical outlet! Ujamaa Cafe placement team will ensure getting started is a breeze.
