Darla and Christian Torres are raising funds to open Tawney Coffee in Brighton Park. Their journey began with door-to-door coffee sales and farmers markets. Now, they aim to create a cozy cafe at 3055 W. Pope John Paul II Drive, hoping to open by December. They are currently fundraising through GoFundMe, seeking $4,500 for renovations, with $1,100 raised so far.
• Tawney Coffee started from their home, selling coffee and pastries.
• The cafe will offer unique drinks like horchata lattes and classic espresso.
• Inspired by their parents, they learned entrepreneurship and finance.
• Their social media presence helped grow their customer base significantly.
This cafe is more than just a business; it represents a community hub for Brighton Park. Darla envisions it as a place where neighbors can gather, support local businesses, and foster a sense of belonging. The opening of Tawney Coffee could enhance the local economy and encourage community connections.
