Opening in late July, Barrio Café will be a welcoming community coffee shop that celebrates the rich cultures, creativity, and traditions of Latino and Indigenous communities while creating new opportunities for local youth and families.

More than just a place to grab a great cup of coffee, Barrio Café is designed to be a community gathering space where people can connect, collaborate, and build relationships. Whether you’re meeting with friends, studying, working remotely, or attending a community event, Barrio Café will offer a warm and inviting environment rooted in the values of community, culture, and belonging.

At the heart of the café is our commitment to youth development. Barrio Café will serve as a vocational training and workforce development program, providing paid, hands-on experience for system-impacted and marginalized youth.

Every purchase at Barrio Café will help support these opportunities, creating a space where community investment directly contributes to youth empowerment and economic mobility.

Barrio Café is a reflection of the innovation, resilience, and leadership that have always existed within our communities.

We can’t wait to welcome you through our doors in late July. Stay tuned for opening announcements, special events, and opportunities to support the next generation of community leaders.
