Full circle moments hit different ☕️✨ Years ago, when Chef Marcel owned the McAllen Culinary School, Michelle was a student in one of his cooking classes. She was already a skilled home cook, but lessons like proper knife technique and how to julienne a bell pepper became lifelong foundations—ones that would eventually shape Reserva’s food program. Fast forward to 2026, and now we get to share our coffee knowledge with his class. We recently hosted the UTRGV College of Hospitality & Tourism’s Beverage Appreciation students at Reserva Roastery, walking them through coffee from bean to cup and how to discern coffee preferences from guest to guest. Fun fact: students in this class get exclusive access to the Reserva’s Roastery 👀 Huge thank you to Chef Marcel and his students for the great energy, curiosity, and years of friendship along the cook’s way 🤍

2016 ✨ We left our corporate careers at General Electric—Michelle as a Senior Customer Fulfillment Leader & Six Sigma Master Black Belt, Danny as a Senior HR Manager—and dove headfirst into coffee. We learned all the technical, nerdy, behind-the-scenes details of the craft. Who knew a leap of faith 10 years ago would lead us here today ☕️
