"A colorful third space celebrating Mexican culture through coffee, Café Calaveras is now open just east of downtown Seattle in Yesler Terrace. Bursting with flowers, plants and textural patterns in a space previously occupied by longstanding Seattle shop Tougo Coffee, the shop offers a wall of windows looking out to Yesler Terrace Park. Alternating green and patterned tiles line the front of a bar that's topped with a cool green La Marzocco Linea Classic S espresso machine."
""I wanted to create a space that felt warm, inviting and really celebrates our culture and identities," Café Calaveras Founder Clarissa Griego told Daily Coffee News. "I wanted to reflect and celebrate Latinx, BIPOC, female-identifying and LGBTQIA+ communities. I identify with these all significantly and hope to continue to nurture these communities both personally and professionally." Drinks served in the 1,200-square-foot cafe are all based on the same single-origin coffee grown in Mexico, roasted in a variety of styles by Seattle's Middle Fork Roasters."
Café Calaveras opened just east of downtown Seattle in Yesler Terrace, occupying a 1,200-square-foot space with a wall of windows overlooking Yesler Terrace Park. The interior features flowers, plants, alternating green and patterned tiles, a green La Marzocco Linea Classic S espresso machine, marigold and pink accent walls, wooden-beaded chandeliers, local artwork and calavera pillows. Founder Clarissa Griego designed the space to celebrate Latinx, BIPOC, female-identifying and LGBTQIA+ communities. Drinks use a single-origin coffee grown in Mexico and roasted by Middle Fork Roasters, including espresso drinks, whiskey-barrel-aged cold brew, cafe de olla, mazapan and horchata lattes. The shop retails beans and cafe de olla kits.
