JOin us for Coffee on the Porch
When was the last time you joined us for Coffee on the Porch at the Presbyterian House?
Can you smell the fresh coffee? Can you taste the mocha or lemonade?
Each weekday from 10 to 10:30 a.m. Coffee on the Porch
welcomes an average of 90 to 100 people for conversation, refreshment, and fellowship.
Donations by attendees are welcomed by not expected.
In 2025, we added bite-sized treats to enjoy alongside everyone’s beverage of choice. Imagine a warm blueberry puff bake or rich chocolate mousse melting in your mouth right now!
Coffee on the Porch is one beautiful example of the friendly, generous hospitality that fosters community and belonging for all who experience the Presbyterian Association of Chautauqua.
You are invited to join us for Coffee on the Porch any time, where you, too, will enjoy warm hospitality, congenial conversation, and lively fellowship.
