Owners Karell Martinez and Nubia Gomez, both deeply connected to their Cuban heritage, aim to make Cortadito more than a coffee shop. They envision a community space where the flavors and culture of Cuba can be shared with KC locals and visitors alike. Martinez and Gomez saw an opportunity to create a space that honors their Cuban roots and, drawing on their real estate backgrounds, came across a building in one of KC’s beloved neighborhoods—a vibrant, predominantly Hispanic area. They purchased it and brought Cafe Cortadito to life, naming it after the iconic Cuban espresso drink made with half espresso and half milk. For Martinez, who moved from Cuba to the U.S. at age 16, this “half and half” concept reflects his life divided between his Cuban roots and his American journey

At Eb & Flo Bread Co., our team is small, mighty, and slightly covered in flour at all times. We're a family-powered bakery where every loaf is made with love—and usually with tiny hands helping along the way. From dough kneading to crumb tasting, each member of the crew brings their own special spark to the table (sometimes literally).
