Our Story
Coffee Artisan Friendship Exchange, CAFÉ, was created by The Children’s Center, Inc.
The Children’s Center, Inc. – Coffee Artisan Friendship Exchange – CAFÉ – Opalaca Coffee
Coffee Artisan Friendship Exchange, CAFÉ, was created by The Children’s Center, Inc. to provide coffee aficionados with delicious specialty coffee, to support coffee farmers and artisans who are engaged in its production and crafting and to support runaway and homeless youth in Texas and Honduras. Our coffee is sourced from small farms in Honduras and prepared in a micro roastery in Galveston, Texas to create its amazing taste.
Honduras is known for producing world class coffee from six coffee producing regions. It is now the largest coffee producer in Central America and one of the largest in the world.
