Bacata

A Name Rooted in Colombian Heritage

The name “Bacata” comes from the indigenous Muisca and Chibcha communities, who named the land that is now Bogotá “Bacata,” meaning “campo de labranza” or field of cultivation. For us, Bacata symbolizes growth, resilience, and the nurturing of dreams. Our café in Ottawa is a field where tradition meets innovation, every cup of coffee celebrates our Colombian roots and the vibrant cultural tapestry of our homeland.
