Last week I attended the official grand opening of Con Azucar Cafe in downtown Gilroy along with Gilroy Council Member Tom Cline as well as representatives from Senator Cortese's and Supervisor Sylvia Arena's office. Inside the small cafe, it is lively with vibrant art works on the walls, hip, Latino pop music and colorful original decor with a giant depiction of famed Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. The menu consists of unique coffees, horchatas and chais blended with traditional Mexican ingredients. For eats they have their own special versions of Avocado Toast, Club Sandwich and what they are well known for, Pan Dulce. One of the cool things about this business is that it culturally represents much of Gilroy historically and currently. Visiting here is not just for great coffee and food, it's an immersive experience. When you go check it out, say hi to General Manager, Fernanda Gonzales!
