Holy Grounds Coffee & Tea

Coffee, Community and Culture

Our Mission:
"Coffee, Community and Culture"

Our History:
The original building was located on the road between the old Pueblo of Los Angeles and the San Gabriel Mission where many travelers would stop in for a rest and a drink in the shade by the fountain. One morning, Padre Jose' Francisco was drinking coffee and accidentally spilled some on his cassock. He attempted to rinse the garment in the fountain and was transfixed when he removed the cassock from the water. The image of a coffee cup was now imprinted on the cloth! It could only be described as a miracle! Everyone present fell to their knees and blessed themselves. They had witnessed what became known as “The Cup of Holy Joe" (after Padre Jose' Francisco). From then on, the rest stop along the road came to be known as "Holy Grounds".

Our Commitment to Social Change:
Every month we will partner with a designated charity or social cause and dedicate 10% of our profits towards a final monthly contribution. The ongoing tally will be posted so we can all participate in watching our contributions increase.

Where We're at Now:
We are still in the construction phase (which involves a myriad of permits and inspections) of our project. Pictures will be periodically posted on here as to keep us all abreast with progress. The space will sometimes be used for events that can accommodate the surroundings i.e. meetings, art classes, etc.
