There is no shortage of coffee carts in Oregon, and Cafe Chula will soon be added to the list.
Xochil Valdovinos and her husband Oscar Morales are opening a local coffee cart called Cafe Chula in Salem. This will be the owners’ first coffee shop venture, showcasing their Guatemalan and Mexican cultures. The cart is coming to the Best Bite Food Park, 3282 Silverton Road NE, and it is set to open around the first or second week of December.
A menu will debut soon, but the two are paying homage to Morales’ Guatemalan roots, with coffee coming from the country. They want to make a space that delivers Central American coffee flavors and reminds them of home.
“Growing up in the mountains of Guatemala, she was surrounded by family, love and the smell of freshly roasted coffee,” said the recent Instagram post.
Originally, the two were going to open by Black Friday, but Valdovinos said that due to permitting it is looking more like early-to-mid-December. In another social media post, the inside was showcased which features a full kitchen, so pastries or sandwiches will likely be served.
Right now, the cart is closed but will soon debut to the community. Valdovinos said she will release more information on the opening in the coming weeks.
