Convivio Café

We are a women & immigrant owned, Guatemalan-inspired café built around the idea of convivio — a get together where all are invited.

Our goal is simple – to be good neighbors. We do that by serving up beyond fair trade, farmer-roasted coffee and tea, as well as Central American-inspired food, celebrating the multicultural fabric of our Denver community.

I was born in Guatemala, immersed in a culture that revolves around hospitality, café, and delicious food. I always loved to cook (and eat), with one of my earliest memories playing ‘restaurant’ with my twin sister in Guatemala – I made the food, the menus, set the table and served, while my sister was always the welcome guest. I am a self-taught cook, and since immigrating to Colorado I’ve aimed to recreate the same sense of a welcoming community around my own table, always finding any good excuse to cook, host, and feed people. I’ve been a cooking class instructor with Re:Vision, as well as with the kiddos at the Sun Valley Kitchen. I have always wanted to have a place where all can be welcome and to share that same spirit where I grew up, which so many other cultures also share. At Convivio, I want to share the recipes I was raised on and create the welcoming open space where guests can breathe and just be.
