We want to thank each and every one of you who have believed in us, for the love and support through the years and for those who became part of the Coffee Break Family. It has been our absolute pleasure serving the community and our loyal customers. We are extremely proud of all that we have accomplished since 2005. Coffee Break Cafe will be closing permanently due to the current financial state of our country and the uncertainty of the future. When a deal fell through last week, they made the difficult decision to close permanently at the end of business on Tuesday, June 29.ĭear Coffee Break Customers, Family and Friends,Īfter 16 years of business and much consideration, we have decided to close our doors for the last time on June 29, 2021. The Cardonas weathered a significant drop in business due to the pandemic - more than 70% by their account - and the temporary closure of Main Avenue bridge during 2020.īut when faced with food service supply and workforce shortages as well as an uncertain economy, the couple sought to sell the business rather than renew their lease for another five years. The Cardonas said they employed more than 60 workers between the two locations over the years. According to the Cardonas, Coffee Break was one of the last remaining coffee shops to serve Sacramento-based Java City Coffee. (It had been a Java City cafe dating back to 1985.)ĭescribed as a “casual friendly neighborhood place” on Yelp, the family-run eatery has earned praise for its breakfast options, Mayan mochas, and customer service. The couple opened the first Coffee Break Cafe location in Carmichael in 2005, then relocated to its current home in 2009. Everyone worked at the cafe at various points including Tamara Myles and Kiko Cardona, who are not pictured.

When the pair married six years later, Myles said they served packets of Cafe del Corazon roast on which Java City custom printed the Cardonas’ names and wedding date. “Java City was actually that whole complex.”
“…this cafe is where my step dad and my mom met (in 2000),” said Tamara Myles of Coffee Break, situated at the intersection of Del Paso Road and Northgate Boulevard. Frank worked in the company’s IT department. Prior to opening Coffee Break, Nuvia worked 15 years as a manager for Java City cafes throughout the Sacramento region. The couple live in the neighboring Robla community where Nuvia serves as a school board member for the Robla School District.
Husband-and-wife team Frank and Nuvia Cardona have owned and operated Coffee Break, which sits on the edge of Valley View Acres just outside of the city limits, since 2009. The Java City sign being replaced with the Coffee Break Cafe signage.
