For those of you who know me, you know I am a big time lover of coffee \\u2013 in that I both have a severe dependency on it, but I\\u2019m also fascinated by the process and art that goes into creating coffee. Needless to say, I am really excited to share this week\\u2019s guest, Monica Mustelier! Together with her husband, Joshua, she owns Little Havana Cafe, which is a Cuban coffee trailer in Toronto, ON.

On the roots of their business, Joshua has said "we didn\'t want Little Havana Caf\\xe9 to be just another food truck where you can get a regular cup of coffee.\\xa0We made a very conscious choice to be as authentic as possible while sneaking in sustainable and organic ingredients where we can,\\xa0right down the the build of the trailer and all of its repurposed materials."

\\xa0In this episode, we talk all about Monica\\u2019s early life along with some important cultural identities she connects with, and how that\\u2019s shaped her passion and desire to run the caf\\xe9. We explore the roles that coffee has played for Cubans in Miami, break down what organic foods means to Cubans, and the ways in which she\\u2019s brought the some of the magic from her summers in Miami up north to Toronto through her coffee. So curl up with a good cafecito and check out the episode here in the player above, or on any major listening platform of your choice!
