Warmth Without Softness. Independence Without Isolation.

Cafecito Libre is a show, a mindset, and a ritual. In Latin culture, cafecito isn't just coffee—it's conversation. It's the pause in the day where people gather, talk honestly, argue a little, laugh a lot, and reconnect. Cafecito Libre takes that tradition and pairs it with a distinctly American idea: freedom. Free thought. Free speech. The freedom to speak openly without apology.

Hosted by Mailyn Salabarria, a Cuban immigrant whose perspective is shaped by lived experience, not ideology, Cafecito Libre is about slowing down long enough to have real conversations about culture, politics, identity, and life between worlds. Mailyn understands what it means to grow up under communism and what it means to choose freedom. Her voice reflects the reality of leaving one system behind and building a life in another while holding onto cultural roots.

This isn't fast content. It's not performative outrage. It's experience, culture, and independence working together.

The Collection

This collection isn't merch for the sake of merch. It's an extension of the show. Every piece is designed to feel lived-in, intentional, and rooted in ritual. Things you use during slow mornings, long recording sessions, walks with headphones on, or quiet moments where ideas start to take shape.

• Apparel that celebrates café culture and free speech
• Drinkware for your morning cafecito ritual
• Notebooks & Totes for capturing ideas and carrying essentials
• Candles for creating intentional space

Cafecito Libre is about choosing your pace. Choosing your voice. Choosing freedom without losing culture.
