COFFEE AND BEYOND

A place where the whole family feels at home!

As of today April 28, 2009 Coffee and Beyond is closing its doors. It has been a pleasure serving you and we look forward to the next chapter of our lives.

God bless,

Carolina


WHO WE ARE:

Coffee and Beyond is a place that has been brought about by the power of our almighty God through faith and obedience, where family and friends can gather and spend some quality time connecting with one another.

From the beginning we felt that God wanted us to provide people with a place where the whole family could feel at home. As people who found us at our previous location would tell you we started out as a very kid friendly coffee shop with a large play area and extremely limited adult seating.

We have since then expanded into a bigger location and in addition to having a play area for the little ones we now also have three "quiet rooms" for our childless patrons, a children's library, a classroom, a music room, a private gathering room, a large seating area in front (with ample adult seating) and even a trading closet! God is making Coffee and Beyond a place that can truly be enjoyed by people of all ages and we look forward to serving you and your family soon!

WHY WE ARE HERE:

To glorify God through our labor by serving others and providing testimony about the wonderful things that our family has experienced ever since we began to consciously allow God to work through us rather than inspite of us.

OUR STORY:

Coffee and Beyond was brought about and is evolving daily by a series of unseemingly unrelated events that each day fall into place much like a big puzzle. In April of 2008 through the grace of God (and responsible financial stewardship by my husband) we were able to pay off our home and decided it was time to start doing something. Instead of our usual prayer "God help us do this..." We asked God, "What would you like for us to do?" From that moment He took the lead and he revealed to us that there was a need in this area for a place where families could interact with one another in a relaxed setting and in a month's time we found ourselves as the proud new owners of "Coffee Talk" a cell phone dealership with a small coffee bar in the back. We took the phones out of "Coffee Talk" and exchanged them for a several kid sized tables and lots of toys. We changed the name to Juguemos Juntos which means Let's Play Together!
and by the week of June 18, 2008 we were ready for our Grand Opening Week.
From that time forth we have had the honor to witness first hand how God has transformed this place from what it was to what it is becoming. Each day brings with it so many undescribable experiences and miracles that if I were to write each one of them down I'd end up with a million books. God's faithfulness in providing not only what we need to run this place but every single one of our personal needs and wants (be it the $40,000 to buy the original coffee shop all the way down to a tiny pair of pink Crocs for Sofia's Christmas gift) has made us aware that even now, in the year 2009 in Allen, Texas... amidst what is being called the worst financial crisis ever... God is still and has always been in control and to him be the Glory!

WHERE HAVE I BEEN!!!!

The last month or so has been a hectic one for me and my family. As many of you know, my brother in-law Pedro Guerra passed away in El Paso on March 15, after being on life support for a week due to an anurism. Because of his unexpected passing there are a lot of things that my husband needs to take care of in El Paso which means that we will have to travel back and forth between here and there for a while until everything is worked out. There is no doubt in my mind that my first duty is to mini… Continue

a month and counting...

It is hard to believe that a month has already gone by since we reopened. Things are going well and everything seems to be falling back into place. This past month has been full of great things including our grand opening celebration and a special presentation by my all time favorite Christian Artist "JORGE MOREL". Our trading closet is off to a great start and thanks to the hard work of Veronica, Tawnee, Melissa and so many others it is looking better and better each day. If you have stopped by… Continue

Coffee and Beyond

If you have driven past our spot in the last couple of days you probably noticed that we are now open and that the sign above our space reads "Coffee and Beyond". Aside from our name, our vision and mission remain the same. I have to admit that there were many times in the last couple of months when I wondered if we would be able to open again or not, but like always God remains faithful and here we are. I thank all of you for your prayers and words of encouragement and I look forward to being h… Continue

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND UPDATE!

HELLO!!!

It seems like forever since the last time I talked to some of you and I hope all of you are doing well as you prepare to celebrate the Christmas Holidays with family and friends. I was hoping that if I waited long enough to post an update I would be able to provide you with a Juguemos Juntos Grand reopening date but as of today I don't yet have an exact date...but progress has indeed been made. Our fire alarm system is being installed by Interfase Hawk Securities and they tell me that… Continue

Hello and update!!!

Let me start off by saying that although I was not expecting for it to take this long to open back up the down time has been nice on many levels. I miss the coffee shop and all of you very much... but everything happens for a reason and all of this will resolve itself in God's perfect time.

So let me update you on what has been happening since the last time I wrote. The city classified us as an educational facility which means we have to meet higher standards to insure the safety of the childre… Continue
