About the Business:
Cafe Emporos is a Latino-owned small business that blends the warmth of coffee with the emotional connection of greeting cards. Each personalized packet features a heartfelt message printed directly on ready-to-brew hand-drip coffee or tea. Created during a time of personal hardship, Cafe Emporos has grown from a simple act of creativity into a meaningful product that connects people in a unique way.

Founder Story:
Ruben Trujillo was a former barista and caregiver working multiple jobs when he hit rock bottom. Fueled by the desire to create something meaningful, he launched Cafe Emporos — a product born from resilience, resourcefulness, and heart. What started as a side hustle became a business that would later gain national attention through a viral TikTok campaign.
