But it took more than two years to make this dream a reality.
When Jurado became sober in 2018, she turned to coffee instead of alcohol. “When I got sober, I realized I didn’t have a good way to connect with people; coffee became the way. My friends have a saying: ‘If the latte is right, Mari is there every night,’ because when people wanted to hang out, we’d go for coffee — that’s kind of how it started,” she recalls. She grew to enjoy coffee so much that in 2021, she became a part-time barista at Novo Coffee.
After connecting with Jurado and Merriex, plans began coming together for Migas. Originally, the team set a goal of opening in the fall of 2022, but because the building was zoned as a commercial office, issues with licensing and architect plans delayed that schedule. “Even just submitting requests to add a sink was a whole ordeal,” Jurado says. Although“It was a long year thinking we’ll open next month and next month,” Jurado recalls.
