Our Story

Sometimes a major life event propels you toward your dreams. For Amy Vasquez, losing her mother suddenly last June made her realize how unpredictable life can be. Amy and her daughter, Hanan, had talked about opening a bakery—maybe specializing in cupcakes. Then they formulated a concept of a gourmet café, where families could enjoy casual eclectic dining alongside others conducting business or meeting with friends.

As a co-owner of d’Vine Wine, Amy knew the commitment a restaurant required and, since Hanan is only 12 years old, she knew her daughter could provide little more than encouragement. But that was enough to inspire her to open Hanan’s Café.

“My mom had always dreamed of owning a tea room, and my daughter loves to bake and wants to be a chef one day,” Amy said. “So, Hanan’s Café is partly a tribute to my mother and a project my daughter and I had dreamed of. It’s a celebration of life through amazing food.”
