The initial, distinctive proposition that served as inspiration and continues to this day was the sale and playback of vinyl records, making them pioneers at the time in merging these two passions. There couldn't have been a better combination.

Often, customers return to share something they made from the last book they borrowed: cookies, a slice of cake, or even sourdough bread. It's deeply moving; when books come alive and create connections, our daily lives take on a little more meaning.

We wanted to turn this passion into something shared and to create a space dedicated to enjoying life, where specialty coffee becomes the perfect excuse for connection. A place to sit without rushing, to enjoy things well made, and to celebrate rigor without losing tenderness

From the very beginning, the intention was to create a community within a space that felt warm and welcoming. The idea was not simply to open a café, but to create a place where people could slow down, have unhurried conversations, and feel accompanied.

What we enjoy most is the interaction with the beautiful community that has formed. Sitting for a while and enjoying the warm lights of the bar when the sun goes down. Creating and experimenting with coffee to offer experiences to those who visit us.

Democratizing specialty coffee and removing that “untouchable” or pretentious label from it. We always say our mantra: “Specialty isn’t fancy, but it tastes like fancy.” We want people to lose their fear of trying something different.

From our origins, what made us different was hospitality. To be able to see the smile of our customers when they take their first sip of coffee, or the surprise when they take their first bite of a croissant, fills my heart and makes me feel alive.

Our proposal is different. Here, coffee takes center stage, without syrups or added flavors. It has been a challenge, but also a conviction. We have not wanted to change that, even if the path is slower.

Specialty coffee bars are born from a need to go deeper and to connect. We wanted to help foster an appreciation for specialty coffee, and we were part of the beginning of a boom of interest in higher-quality coffee and more careful preparation.

We are inspired by a love for coffee as a ritual. We come from a Lebanese background where coffee is a language of respect and generosity.Coffee was always the central element at any family or friends gathering. It represents an open-door way of living: offering coffee is saying, “I open my home and my heart to you.”

It's a place where quality coffee meets creativity and productivity. Since its opening, the mission has been to create a space that can be called a "creative hotspot," where you can come to drink coffee, work, find inspiration, and participate in artistic activities and workshops.

We are inspired by the local art scene; we believe that stronger and more impactful projects can be built together as a community. Artists like Hecho en Cancún, Alex Lechuga, and Elena Caltz, and places like the Lodoso pottery workshop and the Ki’Neek’ chocolate shop, are doing things particularly well.
