Demian Estevez is the owner of Mojo Coffee House in New Orleans, LA. He worked part-time at a coffee shop while doing computer repair before Hurricane Katrina hit the area and after the storm hit he decided to pivot his career. He bought the coffee shop where he worked and the rest, as they say, is history. Demian didn't know a lot about coffee but he knew how to run a successful business. He gained more experience and knowledge over the years which allowed him to open the coffee roasting part of Mojo Coffee House. Now his business has three locations and continues to push for better coffee and customer service. Demian's goal is to have every customer leave with a smile on their face. 

Drop by one of their locations and try their spring favorite - Avery Island Iced Tea (ginger ale over ice, a squeeze of lemon and lime, and a double shot of espresso).
