Our Cafe // Nuestr@ Cafe
Nuestr@ cafe is intentionally placed within the loving community of George Floyd Square and surrounding neighborhoods. We imagined it to be a shop where we can center the culture and practices of the Black, Brown, and Indigenous folx whose paisanos grow our coffee and teas. We practice joy and reflection in our shop through our vibrant colors, impeccable music curation, art, and menu selection to promote a feeling of connection. We believe our cafe will practice being an anti-displacement force with the communities we're a part of. If you haven't been, we hope to see you soon!

Host An Event @ Bichota
We welcome individuals and organizations to host an event at our space. Events can be both within our open hours or after! Bichota's Cafe has been used for artist popups, office team meetings, community engagement space, and restaurant pop-ups. Our space is muy linda and we're up for the creativity you have to share at Bichota. We're happy to have a barista available to serve drinks and food or just have the space open for the event. Send us an email and we'll plan something fun and great.

FAQ About the Cafe
Do you serve alternatives to cow milk?
Si! We also have oat milk regularly available for people that are lactose intolerant, gluten-free, or just prefer non-dairy milks. There's no up-charge for oat milk! You shouldn't have to pay more just because the ancestors didn't give you the right gut enzymes for leche de vaca.
Do you have food?
Right now we have pastries from Marissa's Bakery and other snacks such as yogurt, Baba's hummus and pita, and more light bites. In the near future we will be launching our bakery and we'll add more food. :)
Feel free to bring in food in the meantime, if you'd like. We have a microwave available for your use.
Do you have goods for sale?
Yes! We have our retail coffee for sale in the shop, but we also will have goods produced by some of our favorite small producers.
Right now we have mugs from Atode Ceramics and beautiful hats from ooakshell. Check them out!
Are there any discounts available to be used in shop?
Yes! We have a couple of different discounts that we have implemented. First, those who are subscribed to receive our coffee get 10% off in cafe. Also, if you work at a biz near Bichota we also offer 10% off to our neighbors. Lastly, we know that there are those who are not able to afford a cup of coffee for one reason or another, so we practice a suspended coffee program where we have drinks that have already been purchased for your use whenever with no questions asked. Just come in and ask for a coffee and we'll get you one, bought by your community!
Oh! Also, if you buy a bag of coffee in store then you get a free drip coffee as part of your purchase. :)
