Today, we’re finishing off our interview series speaking with some of New York’s leading boutique coffee businesses by catching up with Brandon Peña and Sam Sepulveda, Co-founders of 787 Coffee.

Founded in 2017, 787 Coffee is one of the fastest boutique coffee chains in New York. They now operate 17 sites in the city, 2 in El Paso Texas and 4 in their native  Puerto Rico where they also operate their own coffee farm.

In this conversation they discuss what it means to be a leader, their responsibility to their staff and community and the unexpected silver linings and new opportunities that come from surviving the impact of Hurricane Maria and the pandemic.
