"To me, LA is a mosaic of flavors, languages, and cultures that captures my own journey as a Salvadoran-American. Growing up in East Hollywood, I learned resilience and creativity from my community—qualities that I now infuse into every aspect of Cipota Coffee. Manufacturing here allows me to honor the Salvadoran flavors I grew up with, transforming them into coffee experiences that resonate with this city’s rich diversity. Los Angeles also empowers me to celebrate Salvadoran heritage while connecting with other POC-owned businesses in the area, creating an environment where our shared stories uplift one another. Ultimately, LA isn’t just where I make my coffee—it’s where Cipota Coffee finds its roots, heart, and home."
