Akoma is more than a place to pick up a book or order a cup of coffee. It is a place to settle in, exchange ideas and feel connected. The Lounge is where we share the people, conversations and experiences that give Akoma its spirit.
A Third Place Built With Purpose
Home is the first place. Work is the second. A third place is where community has room to breathe.
At Akoma Coffee & Books, that may look like meeting a friend over coffee, opening a new book, working between appointments or joining a conversation that stays with you long after you leave. We created this space for people who want culture, connection and a sense of belonging without having to perform for it.
Room to Settle In
Comfortable seating just outside Akoma gives friends, readers and neighbors another place to gather inside Priví.
Come for the Coffee. Stay for the Conversation.
Our coffee bar gives the day a natural starting point. Order something familiar, try one of our specialty drinks or ask us what we are enjoying. Then take a seat and let the moment unfold.
Some visits are quiet. Others become introductions, shared ideas and community conversations. That mix is part of what makes Akoma feel alive.
Books That Open the Room
Books sit at the center of Akoma because stories help us understand ourselves and one another. Our shelves celebrate Black life, history, imagination, wellness and possibility.
You might arrive looking for one title and leave with a recommendation, a new perspective or a conversation you did not expect. That is the kind of discovery we want Akoma to make possible.
Space to Pause, Work and Connect
Akoma is located inside Priví at Stonecrest, where the experience extends beyond our doors. Nearby seating, workstations with power and cultural spaces give visitors room to pause, meet, read or work. The surrounding art and amenities add another layer to the visit while Akoma remains the heart of the experience.
Art Across the Way
Culture and art are part of the experience surrounding Akoma inside Priví.
The Lounge Is Our Ongoing Conversation
The Lounge will feature reflections, community stories, books, coffee, culture and thoughtful perspectives from Akoma. It is a place to slow down and spend time with ideas that matter.
Visit Akoma, find your place and join the conversation.
