"Kyle's Cool Beans has a rich and soothing taste, seeing Kyle's smile and grabbing an cup of Cool Beans coffee at One-Nineteen is the perfect combination to get my work day off to an amazing start!"

"Kyle's Cool Beans coffee cart is a welcomed addition to the One Nineteen campus.

I appreciate the careful considerations that were put into providing their customers with organic, specialty, high grade coffee, served in compostable, biodegradable cups. No corners were cut with this mobile coffee cart, (except for a few cornes while moving the cart from point A to point B in our large building!)

Kyle and his staff offer a welcoming place for people to gather while enjoying their cup of coffee. They have created fellowship and a feeling of community, everywhere the coffee cart can l found. A big thank you to Kyle and his staff!'

"From the moment I met Kyle, he has amazed me. He has taught me so much about connection and joy. It's easy for some of us to see people with challenges similar to Kyle's and just smile and move on. We think the only way to connect with people is by having a conversation, both parties actively speaking. Well let me tell you Kyle McGee has taught me much more about communication and connection than anyone I have ever encountered. He genuinely lights up and has this amazing infectious grin when he sees or hears people that he knows. He greets me like no other person in my life, the most sweetest and unique welcoming of expression.

I love to stand around and watch as he directs his powerchair towards his friends with his own way of speaking, waving and reaching out to connect with them....using all of his senses to truly connect, not the way we are used to with the sometimes impersonal "How are you? I'm fine" type of exchange. Kyle is a delight and is as personable and out-going as his mother, Veronica. They can't help themselves but to love loudly to all around!

So when I learned Kyle was opening his own coffee bar, I could not have been more excited! Kyle has always had jobs around Ascension but this time he is a true entrepreneur. What he has taught me about connection and inclusion he will now be able to share with all who are blessed enough to interact with him over the purchase of a cup of coffee. What I know about Kyle is that he will be sharing more than a gourmet cup of coffee (which by the way is amazing), he will be teaching people the true joy of connection and acceptance. This type of communication goes further than mere words can say, it's a heart connection which is what Kyle McGee is all about. I wished we all had the ability to light up like he does. Maybe we do, we just need to lean in and learn from Kyle. He has much more to share than just his tasty java!

By the way, Kyle's incredulous grin has been integrated into the Kyle's Cool Beans logo. Every time I see it, I can't help but feel the warmth of his presence.

Kudos to you Kyle, you are doing amazing things!!
