Cafe Zamora

Despite facing numerous challenges along the way, Hector Zamora was able to realize his dream of owning a coffee shop with the help of people who recognized his potential. Hector opened Cafe Zamora in Portland, Oregon in 2019, and is committed to establishing a socially orientated business model for profit.

For Hector, owning Café Zamora is not just about running a successful business, but also about creating a sense of community and bridging the gap between his two beloved countries and cultures, Guatemala and America. 

Hector credits his sister and brother as sources of inspiration for their hard work and perseverance. His plans for the future include increasing coffee importation from Guatemala and forging connections with other coffee shops in Portland.
