It is a neighbourhood gathering place built around food, family,
meaningful service and the goodness found in everyday moments.
Our Beginning · 2007
Built with heart
As newlyweds, we took over a small neighbourhood spot previously
called The Buka Maranga Bean and Bagel Company, a name inspired by
Bucaramanga, a Colombian city known for its passion for coffee and
café culture.
We had no restaurant experience, but we had a lot of heart. We
stepped out in faith, raised our children alongside the café and
learned through seasons of uncertainty, resilience and growth.
We built the business while building our family, letting our children
grow up within the rhythms of the café: early mornings, shared meals
and a deepening love for serving others.
Buka Today
A place to belong
Over the years, we continued to transform. The menu and space
evolved, the community grew and so did the vision. Now known as
Buka Maranga Café and Catering, service has become the heartbeat
of our space.
What started as a café became a hive, a place to gather, reconnect
and be reminded of the goodness woven into ordinary moments.
Every corner, every detail and every cup is designed with intention
to bring warmth, beauty and presence back into everyday life.
As we enter a new chapter with dinner service and deeper
experiences, our heart remains the same: to create a place where
you matter, you are welcome and you belong.
