A Week of Celebration and Giving Back
Clutch Coffee Bar has always been known for its community spirit and its mission to give back, and the Monroe opening is no exception. The soft opening on Thursday, March 13th, kicked off a week of celebrations.

It was a heartwarming reminder of the positive impact a cup of coffee can have on people’s days.
But that was just the beginning. For the grand opening on Saturday, March 15th, Clutch Coffee is offering FREE small drinks all day long, ensuring everyone in Monroe gets a taste of their signature brews. As if that wasn’t enough, the festivities don’t end there. Later this month, Clutch will also host a Proceeds Day for Monroe High School, giving back even more to the community.
