Our Story

The Llanes family came to Miami from Cuba during the Mariel boatlift in 1980. Jorge (“Papi”) Llanes opened Papi’s Cuban Cafe back in 2021 as one of his many successful business ventures- sharing his love for authentic Cuban food and coffee with his NC community. Unfortunately, his passion project was cut short when he lost his battle to Pancreatic cancer a few years later. Jorge’s middle son, Alex, started Llanes Coffee Co to continue sharing the family’s Cuban heritage and living out his father’s legacy.

Café Cubano is known for its strong, sweet flavor and is typically brewed with a stovetop espresso maker or Cafetera. Follow us on instagram @llanescoffeeco for brewing tips & tricks!
