While his hands are busy fixing shoulders, his heart is with the homeless. Reuben Gobezie, MD, is a well-known orthopedic surgeon in the Cleveland area and around the world. As a founding physician in the new Lake Health Beachwood Medical Center, Dr. Gobezie also found a way to help the homeless in the new facility. He opened the Daily Dose Coffee Shop and will donate proceeds to help homeless families through The City Mission.
Daily Dose is located just inside the lobby and is open to the public as well as hospital patients and caregivers. The address is 25501 Chagrin Boulevard, Beachwood, Ohio 44122. Daily Dose serves high end craft coffees, espresso, mochas, lattes, teas and smoothies. A full menu is located at www.dailydosecoffeeshop.com. The shop is open Monday through Friday from 7:00 am to 3:00 pm.
The craft coffees served at Daily Dose are sourced from some of the highest specialty grade coffee beans grown in the world. The shop partnered with Crimson Cup to source their coffees, using only Class 1 Specialty Grade beans. The characteristics of these beans exhibit the most favorable cup qualities. This grade offers more consistently sized and shaped beans, which helps the coffee to roast evenly. Just one defect can taint the cup characteristics of an entire pound of coffee.
The coffee beans used all of their drinks have been carefully roasted daily by hand in small batches to bring out their unique flavor profiles. Most beans come from small coffee farms in remote, high-altitude growing regions all over the world including Ethiopia, Guatemala, Honduras, and Indonesia. All Daily Dose coffee beans are certified Kosher thru Ohio-K Kosher Supervision Services.
Through his independent practice, the Gobezie Shoulder Institute, Dr. Gobezie is one of the highest volume shoulder surgeons in the United States. But outside of his orthopedic work, Dr. Gobezie spends much of his time helping the homeless in Cleveland, Orlando and abroad in his native Ethiopia. The Daily Dose Coffee Shop enables him to align his love of fine Ethiopian coffee and of giving back to the community.
Serving “Coffee for a Cause,” Daily Dose plans to select an organization that is making a difference in the community, particularly in the area of homelessness. For 2019, the New Horizons Program at The City Mission will serve as beneficiary. The Gobezie family are active volunteers with this organization that provides housing for graduates of Laura’s Home Women’s Crisis Center. This program helps homeless women and their children to find employment and financial independence.
About The New Horizons Program
The New Horizons Program is a community project that truly brings a village together to help a family get back on their feet. The program works with area congregations or community groups to purchase and renovate a blighted home from the Cuyahoga Land Bank. This group will raise funds, secure donated materials and organize volunteers to rehabilitate the home.
The City Mission then identifies a family that has completed the Laura’s Home program and is searching for housing. The Laura’s Home program takes several months to complete and serves as a bridge from crisis to stability and self-sufficiency for women and their children. The selected family is then able to live in the renovated home and provided with continued assistance to work toward home ownership.
