Our story

Alma means soul. Ours took eight years to brew.

Mara and Jun Santos grew up two streets from Maginhawa. Café Alma is the shop they kept promising each other.

  2. 2022A Sunday stallWeekend coffee at the Teachers Village market. The line reached the corner.
  3. 2027Our own yellow doorTwelve seats, a long bar and a window full of morning.
