COFFEE IS BLACK.

There is a special exchange of energy that happens over a cup of coffee...

The journey of coffee, much like other cash crops, is one of struggle. Coffee plants grow wild in Ethiopia, its place of origin. Yemen was the first country known to traditionalize drinking coffee in the 15th century. The first coffeehouses sprung up in the Ottoman empire and were gathering places across social class.

The majority of the world’s coffee is still grown in Black and Brown countries. For better or for worse, it has become one of the world’s most consumed beverages.

COFFEE IS INDIGENOUS.

Across the US there is a movement which aims to highlight the custom of drinking coffee as insight into our past, present and future.


Semilla Cafe + Studio aims to carve an accessible space for BIPOC and LGBTQIA folx in this industry in Hartford. Furthermore, the communities of Latin and Caribbean migrant workers that supported the local economy in the 20th century has contributed deeply to Hartford’s food, music, and culture.


Without them, we would not exist.
