Bichota Coffee

"A new coffee shop opened in George Floyd Square on October 4. Bichota Coffee, from owner C. Anderson, offers rotating single-origin pours as well as mezclas (house blends); loose-leaf teas from Wesley Andrews; and conchas from Marissa’s Bakery, with plans to eventually launch an in-house bakery program, according to Racket. Anderson broke down the meaning behind the shop’s name for Racket: “What I take out of ‘bichota’ is this flirtatious confidence that you have being in a place not meant for you — a feeling of ‘this wasn’t meant for me, but I did it anyway,’” he said. “It’s just sort of recognizing that coffee is grown in these Black and Brown communities around the world, yet coffee shops rarely reflect those cultures.”" - Justine Jones
