The Motley Coffeehouse, often referred to as the Motley, is a student-run coffeehouse at Scripps College, a private liberal arts women's college in Claremont, California. It serves as a center for social life at the school and aims to operate in a feminist and socially responsible manner.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
Note: finding non-trivial coverage of the Motley in the Claremont Courier would be helpful for establishing notability.

History
editSee https://themotleycoffeehouse.com/our-story.
The Motley Coffeehouse was founded in 1974, fulfilling a need for Scripps to have a central gathering place that had not previously been met.[8] It was originally housed in Balch Hall, but later moved to the basement of what is today Mallott Commons, becoming known as the Motley Underground.[8] In 2009, it moved again to Seal Court.[8]
The Motley closed during the COVID-19 pandemic, reopening in March 2022.[9]
Facility
editThe Motley is located off of Seal Courtyard, near the center of Scripps' campus. It has both indoor and outdoor seating, with the indoor seating in a brick-walled room adorned with various artworks.[10]
