Adore Coffee House has been open just over a month, but it's the culmination of a life-long dream for Maryna Goncharenko.
SAN DIEGO, Calif. — If you find yourself downtown on 5th and Cedar St., a new bright-colored business might catch your eye.
“I was so scared…because I have not very good English and building a business in another country…it’s hard,” said Maryna. Maryna and her husband moved to San Diego from Ukraine four years ago. But last year, he was suddenly diagnosed with stage IV cancer. The war in Ukraine began a few months later and the couple took in Maryna’s family who fled.“He pushed me and told me no, you need to do this. Because it’s your dream and you need to follow this dream,” she said, tearfully. “He was an amazing man.”“Adore coffee house is more than business…it’s helped me survive one year without him,” she said.
From incandescent lighting to freshly roasted organic beans to flowers from local farms, Adore Coffee House is cozy, chic, warm and inviting.You can even order a “Brave Latte” colored blue and yellow from natural turmeric and spirulina with a portion of the proceeds benefiting families in Ukraine. “I’m glad we created this place so people can feel safe, comfortable and they can try something new,” added Maryna.
