Summary
In South Portland, Maine, Cobblestone Coffee & Co. is brewing more than just coffee—they’re feeding hundreds of people daily. Owner Sai Guntaka, a lifelong food entrepreneur who started cooking at age eight, channels every profit after staff and rent into free, hot meals—often Indian-inspired curries—served outside a neighboring restaurant. What began as a pandemic-era holiday aid has become a daily mission, funded entirely by Guntaka’s own resources. Customers feel good knowing their latte supports this cause, and grateful patrons like Martin Gallant say it turns their brunch into something truly meaningful. It’s proof that one local business can spark powerful, daily change—one cup and one meal at a time. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
