Beacon Cafe’s menu focuses on American-style comfort food with some Tex-Mex options. The cafe also features the Aviators Coffee and Espresso Bar, which Sinkhade said is a favorite with customers. In addition to coffee, the bar also serves tea, hot chocolate and fruit smoothies. Although she is not a big coffee drinker, Sinkhade said she loves the coco mint mocha.
“We eat here,” she said. “And we serve the same food to our customers.”
Before moving to the U.S. from Nepal in the 2000s, and prior to their going to work in the restaurant industry, Sinkhade and Karki worked in education. In Iowa, they worked at a gas station and a Walmart until some of their family members opened a new restaurant and brought Sinkhade and Karki on board.
“We didn’t have any other options... we were completely new,” Sinkhade said. “Later on, those family [members] decided to go to ... California. Me and my husband ended up running the place and then we continued [in Texas] till now.”
Sinkhade and Karki are the third owners of the Beacon Cafe, but Sinkhade said the menu has stayed the same. The pair has also built good relationships with their regular customers, she said.
“It’s running in the same way. It’s the same menu, same food,” she said. “We’re welcoming the customers in the same way. ... Business-wise, I hope we’re doing better.”
