Manage episode 434998551 series 3498334
On this episode, we speak with Jonathan Kinnard, co-founder of Coffee Del Mundo, a specialty coffee shop located in South Los Angeles. Originally from Tennessee, Jonathan transitioned from the insurance industry to coffee after studying roasting in Turkey. His café is dairy-free and supports Black and Latinx communities, promoting non-European coffee traditions and direct relationships with farmers. Jonathan’s vision is to foster social change through conscious consumerism and to bring people together by celebrating cultural diversity through coffee. Coffee Del Mundo is known for its high-quality, ethically sourced coffee and dedication to sustainability.
