Support Den Chan Cafe!
Imagine a place where you walk through the doors and are transported to a world full of imagination based on the 3 bilingual books about Den Chan.
Project Den Chan Cafe comes from a dream to have a local cafe that truly supports local, all the while supporting language learning and the love for cats (all animals).
- Why You Should Care -
If you are taking the time to read this, you probably know a little bit about me. But for those who don't or would love to know more, please read on!
Since April of 2023, I quit my job in pursuit of something I have been passionate about creating for several years -- a business that truly values its employees and cares about the businesses it partners with.
It has meant the world to me that I can proudly support 5 local DFW businesses (including me) when printing my 3 bilingual Den Chan books. I am also very proud that I can always say, "Every product I offer at my pop-up supports local small businesses 100%"!
As someone who has worked at coffee shops since I was 18, both in Texas and Japan, I accomplished my lifelong dream of attending culinary school in 2021, further expanding my skills into the magical world of breads and chocolates.
What I Care About
Community
Being a small business who supports other small businesses has been my goal since the start.
Employees
What most businesses I've worked for in the past have missed is truly investing in their staff.
I already have a 401k with a max match set up for anyone who works for me.

I already have contacts with local animal shelters and animal rescue organizations and plan to host events to help their causes and at the same time promote Den Chan Cafe.

- The Why -
It All Started with a Book
On December 20, 2023 I was able to make my lifelong dream of publishing my 3 bilingual books come true.
- The How -
Den Chan Events
Since publishing my books in 2023, I have expanded my product line to offer more than 20 products surrounding the Den Chan brand. Most of them are exclusively sold at events or online in the Den Chan Store. To date, I have successfully participated in over 90 events all over Texas.
- Next Steps -
Cafe Location
After looking at over 15 locations in a span of two years, I finally found the purr-fect location to start Den Chan Cafe!! This is especially exciting since many plans I thought might work out did not pan out as I had hoped. I am beyond grateful for a wonderful group of people and supportive city to have Den Chan Cafe call its home.
- The Future -
Opening Den Chan Cafe
My dream doesn't just end with a book, it is so much more.
This house is located right in downtown Alvarado, where there is currently no cafe and a huge need for one!
