Hi! I’m the teen behind Viva Café AZ, and I wanted to personally share how this home-based café came to life here in Laveen, Arizona.

​

Viva Café began as more than just a business idea  it was a spark inside me, a dream to create something that felt like me: bold, vibrant, full of life, and rooted in culture. I’ve always been drawn to coffee culture  not just the drinks, but the way it brings people together. That feeling of connection, warmth, and intention is what I wanted to share here at home.

​

As a young entrepreneur, I knew I had to do more than just talk about my dreams  I had to learn, plan, and pour everything I had into making them real. From experimenting with flavors, studying ingredients, learning about business, and designing the menu  this café was built cup by cup, with a lot of heart (and late nights).

​

Viva means “to live,” and that’s exactly what this café is about  living fully, savoring each moment, and celebrating every experience. Each order is more than a drink  it’s a piece of that dream, a reminder that anything is possible when you lead with love, culture, and community.

​

Running Viva Café as a teen has taught me so much: how to serve with care, think like a business owner, and create something meaningful for others to enjoy. I may be young, but I’m serious about quality, flavor, and creating a space (even as a pick-up spot) that makes people feel seen and appreciated.

​

So when you support Viva Café, you're not just supporting a local business  you're believing in a dream, uplifting youth entrepreneurship, and helping create something meaningful right here in our neighborhood.

​

Come try something bold, refreshing, and made with purpose. Let’s build something beautiful  one cup at a time.

​

Viva la vida. Viva el café. Viva YOU.
— With love and gratitude,
The teen behind Viva Café AZ
