Welcome to the recently opened Two Plus One Café on Dorn Avenue (59 AVE), and you’ll meet the three owners, Carlos, Frances, Nelson.
The three have been friends for more than a decade in their native Venezuela. They decided to create an idea to revolutionize the coffee shop industry and open their very first business together.
Meet Carlos Feng, Frances Fung and Nelson SalvatierraAfter leaving Venezuela they came to this country and travelled the East Coast before finally settling in Florida. And they choose South Miami because it is a “growing and innovative area perfect as a pilot town for our new flavors and products,” says Carlos Feng.
Two Plus One Café enjoys a multicultural background bringing the customer the exotic flavors of Asia, the friendly quality service of South America and the wonderful taste of European Coffee. The whole idea came to them, “not to just sell you a product but to make you feel like family at home.”
And just perhaps you’re asking: why “Two Plus One?” Simple, according to Carlos: two ideas in addition to one solution became one dream. That’s why “We represent something more than just a
cup a coffee.”
