Paperback Coffee

hi my name is sophia! and i own a coffee cart in orlando fl! ⭐️ let me reintroduce myself!!!🩵
At the beginning of this year, I found myself in a job that was slowly taking the joy out of everything. I’d always had big dreams, but it never felt like the “right” time to chase them.

Until one small moment when I decided to take the risk and see what could happen.
That small moment changed my life.
When I was 16, I lost my mom to her battle with addiction. Losing her taught me how quickly life can change and how much the small moments really matter. The memories I hold closest aren’t the big ones. They’re her teaching me how to make a pot of coffee, long drives, and mundane days spent together.
Paperback was born from the idea of creating a space where people could make those kinds of memories with the people they love.
My dad agreed to build the cart while I dreamed up everything else. That alone meant more than I can explain. I almost lost him to similar circumstances, and for 10 years of my life we didn’t have a relationship. Getting to build this dream together has made Paperback’s story one of second chances, restoration, hope, and creating a life worth living.

Then I quit my job, we launched, and somehow… all of you showed up.

Weekend after weekend, you’ve come for coffee, brought your friends, made memories, and turned my little dream into something bigger than I ever imagined.

Paperback has never been about how many coffees we sell. It’s about the people. The friendships. The community that rallied behind a bigger dream.

Sometimes I can’t help but think my mom sent you all to me, her own little way of getting to be part of the community that Paperback has become.

There will never be adequate words for how thankful I am that you’ve chosen to be here for something that has become so, so much more than coffee.

I love you all!!!

Small moments really do matter. 🤍
