Creating a space for creative expression as a way to give back to a city that has enriched his life, had always been a dream of Mamá Art Café owner, Paulo Cabezas. In the time it takes to finish your cup coffee and take in the cozy surroundings, it's not difficult to see that Paulo is living his dream.
But Mamá Art Café has become more than a coffee house. It's 
a cultural venue in the heart of the Excelsior that provides enrichment for the community through the expression of music, dance, art, spoken word - and of course, deliciously satisfying coffee, which is organic, fair-trade certified and roasted by Uncommon Grounds in Berkeley.
And here's my favorite part -- on Sunday, April 26, 2009, you can meet Paulo and part of his team at A Taste of Tamales by the Bay, at Fort Mason, San Francisco. Come and taste what so many already know - Mamá Art Cafe is one of the coolest places to sip some of the best coffee in San Francisco.
Visit Mamá Art Cafe and experience life in the Outer Mission community of Excelsior through the lens of Paulo Cabezas - it's a nice view.
!Buen Provecho!
