Alma Cafe & Bakehouse is filling a gap in South Irving as the first local coffee shop in the area. Marla Ojeda has been running the cafe with her family for three months now and has received immense support from a community that has long awaited an establishment like this.
“Locally, we’re the first in South Irving, so that’s a pretty big name to carry,” Ojeda says. “We’re so excited to come and open here because we saw the lack of local coffee shops in general, and the community agreed and supported; we’re so grateful we made the right decision. Honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a better first two months; it’s been incredible.”
It’s been five years since Ojeda and her family moved to South Irving from North Dallas, bringing their love for coffee and pastries with them. The only coffee available in the area was from the bigger chain coffee shops, and the nearest non-chain cafes are in Las Colinas, about a 15-minute drive for South Irving locals.
