Café Aria is owner operated by Lora, Nate & Aria. We also get help from our baristas: Katie, Amber, Dani and Blythe. We opened the doors of the coffee shop in June 2009.
As a biology instructor Lora is dedicated to environmentally conscientious business practices like composting our food wastes, compostable corn cups, biodegradable (pasta) stir sticks, recycling and encouraging customers to use reusable cups.
Nate has lived in the villages of Mt Hood for many years. When he is not at Cafe Aria or hanging out with his family, he enjoys fishing and playing cards with his friends.
Aria is the inspiration for Cafe Aria. She enjoys sampling the goodies that Jan from Busy Bee Bakery brings in. You may catch her at the cafe as the front door greeter or hanging out at the kids corner playing with toys.
