Why the name Clyffe Cafe?

Our name, Arrowleaf, holds a lot of meaning in our community. The Arrowleaf plant is indigenous to Southern Illinois and the Shawnee National Forest region. Thriving in adverse conditions of sand and gravel, this plant is beautiful and resilient, just like the people we work with who overcome adversity and find ways to fulfill their potential despite the challenges they may face.

The Clyffe Cafe pays homage to the Ferne Clyffe State Park in Johnson County. Ferne Clyffe is home to several species of arrowleaf plants and is best known for its waterfall, abundance of ferns, and distinctive geological features. Our cafe is as unique as the park – both offer inspiring glimpses into what our community has to offer.

Late Bell: After-School & Friday Night Student Hours

Building on our mission of opportunity and inclusion, in October 2025, Arrowleaf expanded the Clyffe Cafe experience with Late Bell – a student-run, after-school and Friday-night cafe designed to promote youth well-being, mental health, and leadership in Southern Illinois.

Late Bell is operated by local high-school students who gain paid work experience in food service, customer relations, event planning, and social media management. The cafe transforms into a fun, safe, and creative space where students and community members can gather, connect, and relax. 

Late Bell Hours
Closed for major holidays and school breaks.

  • Tuesdays & Thursdays: 3 pm – 5:30 pm
  • Fridays: 3 pm – 11 pm

  • Themed Friday-night events like Game Night, PJ Night, and Bonfire Night

Supported by a Capacity Building Grant from Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois, Late Bell provides meaningful employment and mentoring that strengthen youth confidence, belonging, and purpose.

If you haven’t experienced Late Bell yet, come see it in action — a one-of-a-kind community space where good food, good people, and great music come together to help our youth thrive.
