Right before we got the keys to our restaurant we were guest chefs in Bangkok, so we took the chance to visit as many traditional breakfast places as we could. The atmosphere of those places is the key inspiration for us and the essence of feeding the working people in the neighborhood is what we do now.

We met through skateboarding in Vienna and had both been skating for more than twenty years. But we never really liked being labelled as skaters, and we certainly don’t see Fokus as a “skate café”. Still, skateboarding is part of our history and identity.

Ser parte de The World’s 100 Best Coffee Shops y alcanzar el lugar #35 a nivel mundial, además del #11 en Norteamérica, ha sido un momento muy importante para nosotros porque valida algo que creemos desde el inicio: que el café de Chiapas tiene un lugar en la conversación global.
