☕ “Hearing people speak in both languages, it’s like ‘Oh my God.’'
After a whirlwind couple of months, Kristin Lacy and Vivi Lemus finally took a few moments to sit down on the secondhand furniture that fillsThe fledgling entrepreneurs soaked in the vibes of the community they’d cultivated: Patrons chatting around them under rows of string lights, drinking warm coffees and teas with a Guatemalan flair as Spanish-language music softly crooned in the background. Customers reading, working and conversing in Spanglish while munching on black beans and chips.
Both women, who met in the Denver nonprofit scene, longed to bring the concept of convivio — a Spanish word for gathering community around a table to share food, drinks, culture and conversation — to the city. Enter Convivio, and you can order café chocolatado, fresh-baked champurradas and tostadas con aguacate, among other Guatemalan eats and beverages.
“My wife and I miss home at times, and one of the things we miss the most is just sitting and having coffee and champurradas — the sweet cookies you eat with coffee,” Mora said. “That was like a family experience when we were growing up. Being able to do that here, and knowing that other people are sharing the same experience — it’s great to have a place for that as opposed to just us at home doing that by ourselves.
Convivio Café works with companies that roast their Guatemalan coffee beans in-country to better support the local farms, cutting out a slew of supply-chain middlemen, Lacy said.Convivio Café in Denver is pictured on Jan. 11, 2023.
