📸☕ The Workmans decided to bring back their project, #100Coffees: 100 More, this year with a few adjustments. Check out who were the first 100, you might see some familiar faces. 😉 | The Workmans

  • Alex of The Workmans launched a project called #100Coffees for him to recharge his social battery after the world’s events of 2020, but mostly, it was his way to meet people in the community. He ended the year with 163 documented coffees.

  • Four years later, Chelsea will be joining Alex as they decided to bring back #100Coffees: 100 More. They believe that sharing conversations as a couple will bring even more perspective and open the door for more possibilities of connection and collaboration. 🤝


#100Coffees: 100 More | FAQs

  • What’s the catch? There isn’t one. They love coffee and meeting people. 💞

  • Not in Tallahassee but want to have coffee? They are frequently in Tampa, Gainesville, Jacksonville, and Washington, DC, but they’ll be around other places throughout the year.

  • I don’t like coffee. Can I still participate? You can substitute coffee for tea, juice, soda, water, whatever works for you!

  • I went to sign up and there are no dates/times available, can you add more? They have opened up times based on their availability. They will be adding more as the year goes on. Note from Team CityClips: We recently checked, and they are booked through March, so check often as they may open up more slots.
