A cafe in Floral Park is
proving that they don't just serve your regular cup of coffee - the unique
beans are carefully grown at a family farm in Central America.
Abigail Rivera is the owner
of Rivers Cafe USA.
At Rivers Café USA, the coffee beans come from the family's farm
in El Salvador.
Pictures on the wall of the
cafe show the pride and hard work that go into bringing a taste of Latin
America to Long Island.
“It's
not just coffee, it's more about passion, sacrifice, time. All the families
that [are] working together at our plantations and farms to
bring the best quality to your cup,” says Rivera.
Aside from the delicious coffee, Rivera serves a unique assortment of
all-natural homemade juices like cashew, guava, and guanabana juice.
However, success wasn't easy
for Rivera, as an immigrant she invested everything she had into
her business and when she had her grand opening at the end of February she
never expected a pandemic would shut down her business two weeks later.
When she was finally able to reopen in July, Rivera was more determined than
ever before.
