18: Cuban Coffee Magic & Little Havana Cafe with Monica Mustelier

For those of you who know me, you know I am a big time lover of coffee – in that I both have a severe dependency on it, but I'm also fascinated by the process and art that goes into creating coffee. Needless to say, I am really excited to share this week's guest, Monica Mustelier! Together with her husband, Joshua, she owns Little Havana Cafe, which is a Cuban coffee trailer in Toronto, ON.

On the roots of their business, Joshua has said "we didn't want Little Havana Café to be just another food truck where you can get a regular cup of coffee. We made a very conscious choice to be as authentic as possible while sneaking in sustainable and organic ingredients where we can, right down the the build of the trailer and all of its repurposed materials."

In this episode, we talk all about Monica's early life along with some important cultural identities she connects with, and how that's shaped her passion and desire to run the café. We explore the roles that coffee has played for Cubans in Miami, break down what organic foods means to Cubans, and the ways in which she's brought the some of the magic from her summers in Miami up north to Toronto through her coffee. So curl up with a good cafecito and check out the episode here in the player above, or on any major listening platform of your choice!
