Puerto Rico After Hurricane Maria: Restaurants Overcome Hardships to Forge On | Eater

"A specialty coffee shop started by a couple who trained in Portland that opened in late 2017 after Hurricane Maria delayed its planned launch when the storm shattered floor-to-ceiling windows and caused roof leaks, resulting in $6,000–$8,000 in damages. The shop emphasizes a multi-roaster approach—sourcing beans from different roasters around the world while also featuring scarce Puerto Rican coffee—and is committed to educating locals “from seed to cup” to rebuild appreciation and demand for island-grown beans. Owners aim to elevate Puerto Rican baristas and producers, increase the visibility of local coffee, and grow recognition beyond the island." - Mariela Santos
