⚡️ ☕️Ep 1: Cafecito Edition: Back of the Yards Coffee House ☕️  ⚡️

Sip back, relax, and tune in to the season 29 premiere of Wattz Up! : Cafecito Edition! This season, we’re focusing on different coffee shops around Chicago and the neighborhoods they call home. This week, the Wattz Up crew is heading to the South Side at Back of the Yards Coffee House @backoftheyardscoffeeco , and learning more about the rich history and community in the neighborhood. Drink some coffee as Chantal interviews public performer Nicolas Moreno, or maybe partake in a latte with Angel as he chats with Jesse Iñiguez; owner of BOTY Coffee House. Stephanie and Irma do a tag-team with Joy from Renaissance and Selva from Marimacha Monarca Press (@marimachamonarcapress)! Not only that, but Michelle is brewing up a caffeine-fueled conversation with DJ La Spacer (@laspacer), co-founder of (@trqpiteca). This jam-packed premiere sets the ingredients for what is going to be a hot season!

Turn on your coffee machine and radio to tune in with us!
