la ventanita by lento brings authentic Cuban and Panamanian cafecitos to Charlotte, creating gathering spaces where the Spanish-speaking community can connect, slow down, and feel at home.
This isn't just coffee. Es comunidad. Es cultura. Es el futuro.
We collect used coffee grounds from local Charlotte cafés every weekend and transform them into enriched soil over 10-12 weeks.
Waste becomes life. Your plants get the best soil. The planet gets a break. Todo gana.
Popups around Charlotte serving cortaditos, coladas, and café con leche, plus teaching folks how to compost their coffee grounds. Find the next one on our bio site or Instagram.
