| XOKOLATL CAFE STORY |
Xokolatl
Caf� is a first
of its kind caf� focusing on cacao-based chocolate drinks prepared
from ancestral recipes, family secrets and modern variations
derived from Aztec and Mayan cultures.
All profits go towards
the work of Semillas Community
Schools, a non-profit organization with an emphasis on
indigenous culture and tradition based in East L.A.
What does Xokolatl mean? Derived from a seed called cacao, or
cacahuatl in the native language Nahuatl from Mexico, "xocolatl" is
the Nahuatl word for chocolate.
In addition to cacao-based drinks,
Xokolatl
Caf� offers espressos,
organic teas, baked goods, fresh salads, healthy sandwiches, soups
and more.
