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
