Brookes House

Brooke's House runs a coffee and chocolate shop on Maryland Avenue in Hagerstown, staffed entirely by women in recovery from substance abuse. The shop makes custom beverages and sells chocolates, and the women working there are trained as baristas or chocolatiers. Brooke's House is a transitional sober living home for adult women in the early stages of recovery, and the shop is part of its effort to help residents find steady work after recovery.

Customers can order online, buy gift cards, and ask about gift bags for corporate events or private parties. The shop also hosts private events and live music. Anyone visiting should check the current schedule, since the posted hours are not consistent.
