Caribbean Splash coffee is a start-up enterprise founded by Mr. Olivier Eugene and his partner, Elena, who came to America from Port-au-Prince, Haiti in 2023. Back in Haiti, the pair owned a successful shop which was growing in size and revenue until the president of Haiti, Jovenel Moise, was killed in 2021, throwing the country into shock and turmoil. Olivier and Elena fled to the neighboring Dominican Republic, where they waited patiently until being accepted as refugees to the United States.

When they arrived to Albuquerque in November of 2023, LFSRM helped them locate basic survival jobs in housekeeping and retail. However, Olivier and Elena always spoke of their lifelong passion and dream to operate a small business and bring joy to people’s mornings through the taste of coffee. They created their own unique brand and label and now sell bagged blends of Haitian and Colombian coffee to customers.

They hope to spread awareness of their brand so that they may one day renew their business as a true brick-and-mortar coffee shop. Caribbean Splash is now accepting orders and can be contacted by email at caribbeansplashcoffee@gmail.com or by phone at (505) 585-3899.
