6 Reasons Archies is the Perfect Spot for Coffee and Self-Care

Jul 14, 2025

Self-care means taking time for yourself. It involves rituals centering your wellness, all while improving your physical and mental health. Many of us embrace a bit of caffeine for a daily boost. Not to mention, there are a number of health benefits that come with this brewed beverage.

Enjoying your coffee at home is surely a way to embrace self-care, but establishing a go-to cafe is a great way to mix up your routine. You can also be intentional about what best suits a given day when you have multiple options to explore. That’s where Archies comes in!

Our approach puts your health and wellness at the forefront. All the while, we’ve curated our coffee shop locations to provide solace for our customers. Whether you’re looking to knock out some work or simply need a break, Archies has you covered.

Here’s how Archies helps promote your daily coffee needs while keeping self-care at the forefront.

  1. You Can Start (or End) Your Day with a Comforting Coffee Ritual

At Archies, you can tailor your coffee order to your specific vibe for the day. From classics to more creative options, Archies has the goods.

Some days, you may find a simple black coffee is all you need to keep moving. Though you may find certain days demand a bit more! You might kick off your week with a Monday specialty coffee. Perhaps you need a mid-week treat on a Wednesday, or maybe you’re ready to welcome the weekend with a unique menu item you haven’t tried yet.

These Archies specialties are a good place to start: 

  • The Swanky: A hot or iced blend of mocha, hazelnut, and caramel with your choice of milk topped with caramel drizzle.
  • The Gold Digger: A cinnamon toast latte white chocolate and your choice of dairy) are just two of many options you can turn to.
  • Carajillo Cocktails: A Spanish classic mixing espresso and sweet liqueur, blending sweetness and spice with the smooth warmth of coffee and a subtle citrus tang

The comforting routine of an Archies coffee not only grounds your day but adds a touch of luxury along the way.

2. You Can Boost Your Well-Being with CBD-Infused Coffee and Drinks

CBD has taken the wellness world by storm. CBD, or cannabidiol, is a naturally occurring chemical found in cannabis and hemp. Unlike its well-known THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) counterpart, CBD is non-intoxicating and does not make you feel “high” after consumption. 

The 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp (plants with less than 0.3% THC) and its derivatives. In the years since, we’ve collectively witnessed the surging popularity of CBD products. CBD comes with many medicinal benefits, helping folks improve their well-being in a natural way. 

Pairing coffee and CBD can balance those more jittery caffeine effects without compromising its energetic benefits. At Archies, you can easily concoct a CBD-infused coffee or add CBD into one of our plant-based energy drinks. 

First time trying CBD? No problem. Our baristas will gladly be your guide and help you find an ideal dose that fits your preferences.

3. Our Relaxing Cafe is an Upscale Environment for Work, Study, and Community

Archies Coffee is a place for gathering. We offer a cozy and modern space for productivity, but Archies is also the perfect place to embrace community. Third places aren’t nearly as common as they once were, and our cafes aim to change that. If you’re meeting up with friends or ready to make some new connections at one of our events, Archies can be your home away from home. 

Our community focus isn’t just about vibes — it’s ingrained in our company ethos. Placing your order at Archies is never a simple transactional exchange: We aim to hire locally, truly embodying that neighborhood coffee shop approach. These are friendly faces you can trust, as our training ensures staff members are fully equipped to guide you through the menu, answer any questions, and provide tips to best support your wellness goals (and your taste buds). 

Of course, we have the essentials: free Wi-Fi, comfortable seating, and a welcoming atmosphere. You’ll also notice Archies exudes the vibrant spirit and creativity of Amsterdam coffee shops, centering local flavors and an open-minded attitude exploring what coffee shops can truly offer. Our CBD and Delta-9 enhancements allow you to customize your order while centering self-care. The coffee is a highlight, but Archies cements itself as a gathering place with various options like mocktails, cocktails, and plant-based energy drinks perfect for socializing.

Each location offers something distinct, but they’re all crafted to support your unique needs. From students, professionals, or creatives buckling down on work to neighbors seeking a cozy place to connect, Archies is the place to be.

4. We Have Classic and Specialty Coffee for Every Mood

Your self-care routines may shift depending on your specific mood for the day. Fortunately, the Archies coffee menu features an expansive array of options for whatever you’re after. 

You’ll find classic cafe fare, like the Cafe Latte and Cappuccino. These drinks are made with premium espresso and easily customizable to fit your tastes. Archies also offers unique concoctions you’ll only find with us, like the energizing Mr. Chagaccino (our most popular drink: a chaga mushroom drink with two espresso shots and choice of milk) or a more complex treat for your palate like The Whimsey (nitro cold brew with salted caramel, brown sugar, and creamy foam). 

If you’re after something bold, comforting, adventurous, or otherwise, Archies’ coffee menu is crafted to push your daily self-care ritual to the next level.

5. You Can Personalize Your Order with Wellness Enhancers

For many, coffee feels intrinsically linked to self-care. The energizing benefits of caffeine and the invitation to intentionally pause to enjoy your beverage feel married to the concept. Archies helps push these concepts even further, as our customers are invited to personalize their orders to promote their wellness goals with enhancers.

On the Archies menu, you’ll find add-ons such as immune boosters, allergen shots, and collagen peptides. Every visit to Archies can easily become a personalized self-care ritual, customizing your coffee order to center your personal health goals. 

6. You Can Easily Transition from Coffee to Mocktails or Plant-Based Energy Drinks

All of our locations open bright and early, with baristas ready to get your day moving with a morning coffee. But depending on when you make it in, Archies has a diverse array of options fit for any time of day. No matter your mood or the specific occasion, you’ll find a menu item that works for your needs.

You may find yourself in need of reprieve without the need for another helping of caffeine. Archies borrows from the Amsterdam coffee shop experience. We embrace this approach with a Southern twist, offering a number of CBD-infused mocktails ideal for any time of day. 

For those moments you still need energy but want to steer clear of coffee, our plant-based energy drinks are the way to go. These all-natural alternatives still contain caffeine, providing a similar boost without the coffee crash. They’re yet another option on the Archies menu to please your palate and support your specific self-care needs.
