It all began with a family tradition of sampling coffees in Texas shops with her father. Corpus Christi-native and owner Brenda Rodriguez fondly recalls tasting coffees from origins such as Mexican Chiapas, El Salvador, and Costa Rica. Brenda quickly realized Latin inspired flavored brews were lacking in the market, even in South Texas. Thus, Cafe Latina was born from the desire to share her favorite pastime with Latin and Hispanic American flavors that can be found throughout the culture.
