Support Bella's Dream: Bikes & Brews Café

Hi friends,

This all started with an accident that could have taken everything from me—but instead, it gave me purpose.

During my recovery, it was community that carried me through. The people who showed up, checked in, and reminded me that I wasn’t alone—that’s what inspired me to build something that gives that same feeling back.

That’s Bikes & Brews.

It’s not just about coffee (though the coffee will be damn good).

It’s about creating a space that doesn’t revolve around alcohol. A place where riders can park their bikes and stay awhile, and where students can plug in and breathe between classes. Somewhere to exist, talk, recharge, or say nothing at all. Whether you’re rolling in on two wheels or two feet, this is a place where you’re not expected to be anything but yourself.

Before we open the full café, I’m starting with a coffee cart. It’s mobile, flexible, and lets me bring Bikes & Brews to the streets, bike meets, schools, and pop-ups that built me back up when I needed it most.

Your support will help fund:

• A custom-built coffee cart

• Trailer and equipment

• Startup costs, permits, and product

• My chance to give back to the very people who helped me stand again

If you’ve ever believed in second chances, in the healing power of community, or in building something a little different—this is your invitation to be part of it.

This isn’t just my dream anymore. It’s ours.

Thank you for riding with me,

Gabriella Ledesma
