    Customized Caffeine: Celebrating Central Coast Coffee

EXCERPT:
“La Casita is a sleeper hit of a restaurant and bar with a cheerful logo and retro neon light. Steph’s mother, Ingrid Chavarria, and stepfather, Jose Luis Quinonez, own and operate the business. Situated along the sprawl of West Grand Avenue, it’s unassumingly located in the Oak Park Plaza, laden with corporate chain fast-food mainstays, a few empty storefronts and quiet banks. An alluring hand-drawn chalkboard sign appears out front each day, listing daily specials that tend to be a combination of Mexican, Guatemalan and Salvadoran.

“Guatemala is a small country between Mexico and El Salvador so a lot of the culture and food bleeds through,” says Steph, whose mother is Guatemalan and spent a lot of her career in Mexican restaurants.

Over the past few years, this Latina-owned small business has continued to refine its hospitality craft through warm service and its charming and colorful decor. A true mom-and-pop shop, the kitchen is run by Jose and Ingrid, who prepare bright, homestyle Mexican dishes. Lunch and dinner menus include specialties such as chicharrón and cheese pupusas served alongside classics like shrimp a la diabla, mole de pollo or steak ranchero.

    ☕️ In this Perspective piece, a young coffee shop ☕️ In this Perspective piece, a young coffee shop owner describes the challenges of running a business, and the joys of creating connection with customers and the community through coffee.

“My love for this work comes more from my love for people than beverages. In college, I was a Resident Assistant and I was an intern running a young adults group. I’ve been developing my people management skills over many years. I realized that working at a café is a perfect fit for my personality: I’m a people person. I get to talk to customers all day and make coffee. If I’m having a bad day, talking to one of our regulars can really lift me up. It’s very much a community here.”

    🫖 Tea in the United States may not be quite the st 🫖 Tea in the United States may not be quite the star that it is in many other countries such as China, England and India, but is still a delightful sip for any time of day. 

Add to that cuppa tea a miniature sandwich plus any of the seemingly endless tea accessories and teatime truly feels like a ceremonious occasion. 

Here, we topple the traditional towers of sweets and cucumber tea sandwiches in favor of complex, modern flavors that pair nicely with vibrant tea blends crafted by Spice of Life (@spiceoflifepr) in Paso Robles.

➡️ PRESENTATION TIPS
• Use tiered stands for scones and tartlets along with a touch of greenery like herbs to enhance visual appeal.
• Serve teas in decorative teapots with a variety of colorful teacups.
• Use small floral arrangements or fruits, like berries, to adorn tablescape.
• Have fun with it and be playful!

Let us know which recipe you try at home and share this with a friend!
