DENVER — Sergio Mendez comes from a family of entrepreneurs. As a child in Tijuana, he took inspiration from them, selling candies outside of his home to neighbors and others in the area. , a coffee and smoothie shop at 2936 E. Colfax Ave. in Denver. "It moves me a lot," Mendez said."I used to sell those in Mexico outside my house to my neighbors, and now put it on the menu and have a professional picture, and now sharing that with people, it’s like a full circle.

So he closed the California location and is now opening up the concept in Denver. "I was driving by this area, East Colfax, and I saw that this place was available for lease. I took a look through the window. I liked the space. I saw the potential. I also saw the potential in the area," Mendez said.
