Siblings Behind Tawney Coffee Need Your Help To Open Brighton Park Cafe

Chicago, ILLocal News

Tawney Coffee, founded by siblings Darla and Christian Torres, is seeking funds to open a permanent cafe in Brighton Park, with plans to launch by December. The pair began their journey selling coffee from home and transitioned to door-to-door sales and farmers markets, ultimately operating out of their car. They have raised approximately $1,100 through GoFundMe, with a target of $4,500 for renovations at their new location on Pope John Paul II Drive. The cafe will offer a range of specialty drinks and pastries, encouraging local engagement. Darla Torres credits their entrepreneurial spirit to their parents, who inspired them with lessons in finance and sales.

Social media played a crucial role in their growth, allowing them to connect with the community. The Torres siblings envision Tawney Coffee as a gathering spot that promotes local businesses and community spirit. They aim to attract a diverse clientele and create a vibrant atmosphere in Brighton Park.
