Beloved Cafe: A New Chapter Rooted in Community and Care

​

Founded in 2017 in the heart of San Francisco’s Mission District, Beloved Cafe has always been devoted to serving the community with love, care, and a deep commitment to wellness. Our purpose is to provide food and beverages that nourish the body, uplift the spirit, and enhance overall vitality. We are passionate about using the highest quality organic ingredients, preparing everything fresh in-house, and collaborating with local farmers and herbalists to bring you vibrant, healing meals and herbal elixirs. Beloved is more than just a cafe—it’s a space to connect, rejuvenate, and feel at home.

In 2024, a beautiful new chapter began as Jennifer, Evelyn, and Ana Yaquian—three sisters who migrated from Guatemala 17 years ago—became the new owners of Beloved Cafe. Their journey with the cafe began in 2017 when Jennifer joined the team, followed by Ana, and later Evelyn in 2019. Over the years, they took on roles across the cafe, from the kitchen to the front of house to administrative leadership. Through it all, they fell in love with the community, the mission, and the heart of Beloved.

 

After seven years, founders Amie and Kapiz offered the sisters the opportunity to take over the business they had helped nurture. With gratitude and excitement, the Yaquian sisters accepted—and on September 1st, they officially became the new owners.

With their deep roots in the cafe and in the Mission community, the Yaquian sisters are honored to carry forward Beloved Cafe’s mission: offering healing, nourishing, plant-based meals inspired by cultures around the world, and creating a loving space for all who walk through the doors.
