Guereca notes that the spiced chai latte, named after journalist and activist Gloria Steinem, is inspired by Steinem’s preferred beverage. “She enjoys tea with light milk, akin to a chai tea latte with cinnamon,” Guereca explained.

The creamy iced coffee draws inspiration from Kamala Harris, the first woman to hold the vice presidency in the United States. “She has been known for her iced coffee topped with foam,” Guereca remarked.

Not every beverage at Caféina is named after a person; some are dedicated to feminist ideals, like the Ally Brew. Guereca shared that her personal favorite is the Marching Matcha Latte: “It’s vibrant and delicious, yet not overly sweet. I’m ready to march with it!”
