Family-run coffee business Talisman Coffee Co. opened a coffee bar Nov. 1 at La Holly, the East Sixth Street cocktail bar, co-founder Johanna Barker said.
The coffee bar is open 7:30 a.m.–2 p.m. daily, Barker said, serving coffee made with house-made syrups in many of its drinks.
In their own words
“Every cup represents five generations of coffee farmers before us: from the care taken in handpicking our coffee and the thought behind our fermentation and sustainable practices, to the intention behind every roast and the little details that make each drink special,” Barker said. “It’s truly a labor of love from our family to you.”
A family affair
Barker runs the business with her brother, Fernando Alvarado. Talisman partnered with Simon Madera, owner of La Holly and Taco Flats, because of shared Texas roots and family-run operations, Barker said.
