Go show some love to this beautiful business! 🤎☕️ Tepito employs about nine people and includes an internship program with Homeboy Industries, Father Greg Boyle’s rehabilitation program that provides formerly incarcerated and gang-involved men and women with jobs as an alternative to gang life. Tepito is co-owned by Richard Cabral and Jose Arellano with Homeboy Industries & Mike de la Rocha, a musician and entrepreneur. Richard Cabral, who was born & raised in East Los Angeles, starred in “American Crime” in “Mayans M.C.” Arellano, who serves as vice president at Homeboy, sees their presence in Pasadena as a form of “reverse gentrification. Thank you Alejandra Molina with LA Times for sharing the story behind this business! 📍Tepito Coffee 695 E Colorado Blvd Pasadena, CA 91101 Open 8am-6pm #losangeles #coffee #losangelescoffee #pasadena #tepitocoffee #homeboyindustries #pasadenacoffee #smalbusiness #lacoffee #visitcalifornia #explorela #thingstodola
