Flor Hermosa, a new coffee shop nestled amid the lush greenscape of Golden Gate Palms nursery in Richmond, is donating half of its earnings Saturday, June 14 to organizations serving immigrants and their families.
The coffee shop, which will be open Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and touts its offerings as “coffee, plants and flowers,” posted on Instagram that “This Saturday, 50 percent of all our earnings will be donated to organizations that help affected immigrants and their families.”
In a video showing the coffee shop—the name of which means “beautiful flower” in Spanish, baked goods, cool drinks and ample seating areas could also be spotted in the picturesque background.
The coffee shop’s day of donations comes amid planned nationwide “No Kings” protests in response to President Donald Trump’s military parade in Washington, D.C. Saturday at an anticipated cost of $45 million. The day coincides with Flag Day, the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army and his own 79th birthday, and follows recent protests in Los Angeles, where President Trump deployed the National Guard, and later the Marines, to quell response to his administration’s deportation of immigrants.
Flor Hermosa is located at 425 Cutting Blvd. in Richmond.
