Where Cultura Creates.

Rooted in stories. Driven by expression. A collective space for Latino artists, culture and creativity.

At a lunch table Angel Aviles and Pablo Papas had a conversation on the lack of Latino representation in traditional media. As new media emerged, the newly formed partners set out to create a digital platform to showcase Latino creativity. They first settled on a name of “Bullfighter’s Cafe”, suggesting the blight of a Latino artist is to face the charging bull.

Quickly, establishing a website, the partners began their quest by interviewing Latino artists, filmmakers and performers, while also developing their own videos, animations and artwork. At the heart of all the content they generated was to present the creative Latino experience.

After years of development, the partners shortened the name to “BF Cafe”.

Today as sole owner, Pablo Papas looks to carry on BF Cafe’s mission to exhibit animations, artwork and stories to explore and share culture from a personal perspective. Pablo hopes you will enjoy and support Day of the Dead and other cultural art work available through social media sites and in the cafe shop. Pablo aims to keep to the site’s original intention of creating a “cultural expression”, and together with your participation BF Cafe will be a success!

What We Are

BF Cafe is a Latino art collective built on culture, creativity and connection.

We don’t just create products - we create expressions of identity. Every piece carries a story. Every design carries a voice.

Culture is not static. It is Living.

Art is not decoration. It is Expression.

Identity is not hidden. It is shared.

Our Purpose

We exist to showcase Latino creativity in all its forms - through art, design, storytelling and collaboration.

From prints to stickers to wearable culture, everything we create is rooted in where we come from and shaped by where we’re going.

BF Cafe is not just what we make. It is what we carry forward!
