Our founder and owner, Mackenzie Edinger, has lived in the Lake Country area her entire life—she spends most of her day devoted to the coffee shop and its mission and when she’s at home she loves spending time with her sweet dog, Nash!

Mackenzie is a graduate of Kettle Moraine High School, received her undergrad in Early Childhood and Special Education from UW-Whitewater, and earned her Masters in Educational Leadership and Policy Analysis at UW-Madison in May 2022.

Mackenzie has long-cherished working with neurodiverse individuals and has always wanted to create a space where these individuals feel as equally valued and important—the success of Inclusion Coffee Company has allowed her to meet her goal of changing the lives of neurodiverse individuals and making the world a better place!

Mackenzie pairs a restaurant background with her experience working with neurodiverse individuals including volunteering with Best Buddies, job coaching, and special education studies and training—her knowledge and expertise coupled with a keen sense for business has helped Inclusion Coffee Company flourish in its first year.
