Wake up and smell the coffee!
I drove past Xela Cafe, on Paramount Blvd just south of Stewart and Gray Road, for months, intending to check it out. When I finally did, I was pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere is homey and the minute I walked through the door, I was greeted with a smile and a soft hello.
Oneyda and Oscar are the owners of Xela Cafe, a Guatamalan Coffee House named after a city in Guatemala. Xela (pronounced "Shay-la") means "city surrounded by mountains." Run by everyone in the family, the cafe is truly a family business. I sensed that no one is a stranger here, everyone is welcome. Once you walk through the door, you know you will be back again.
And Oneyda makes a mean latte!
