Torres’ coffee shop started in Puerto Rico, but the Torres had to move in 2017 after the devastating effects of hurricane Maria. She described the aftermath as hard and a long process, “we had a lot of faith that everything was going to come out the way we wanted it. We took it one step at a time.”
Now, Torres brings that same coffee and taste from Puerto Rico to Southeast Wisconsin and to our latin community. She says it’s an incredible feeling to see her customers enjoy her product, and feel proud of her hispanic heritage. “It’s very exciting to see their reaction. It’s like, wow. It’s like you see in their minds that they’re having a whole backflash of times, visiting when they went and got their coffee back there and got it here in their home. It’s so nice, it’s amazing…. For me to be latina it’s – it’s that power. Like, I feel proud of myself for how long i have been and all the things i have achieved in a little amount.”
You can find Aroma Café at the South Shore Farmers Market from 8 a.m. to noon every Saturday and Sunday at Greenfield Farmers Market from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. They’ll post on their Facebook and Instagram accounts whenever they’ll be at another community event.
