Principles GI Coffee House in Brooklyn, NY, prioritizes community and ethical practices by not accepting tips and paying all employees a living wage of $25 per hour. The founder aims to create an inclusive environment where both customers and workers feel empowered to use the space and amenities, promoting genuine interactions and collaboration.

Offering a "pay what you want" model for foundational drinks, the coffee house ensures that everyone has access to quality beverages without the barrier of high prices. Simplifying the menu with single set sizes reduces decision fatigue, allowing for a more streamlined experience for both baristas and customers.
