Genesis Hernandez was just 12 years old when she decided to start baking, a passion that has turned into a family business.

Suenos Coffee, Pastries and More opened about a month ago in Rio Rancho, a new family-owned business birthed from Genesis's dedication to baking during the pandemic.

“I got more into it and started looking into it more like making my own recipes or adjustments,” Genesis, now 14, told KOB. “So then after a while, people started wanting to like, what’s it called, buy them or ask how I made them, so figured why not just make a business out of it?”

Her dad developed the coffee side of the business, while her mother Norma helps out with the baking. Both parents handle the financial part of the business but credit their daughter for the inspiration.

“She’s definitely what started our whole business and really just made us realize I guess a passion we never knew,” Norma told KOB.

The business began out of a small food truck but has expanded to two food trucks, one location in Rio Rancho and another location planned for the metro area. “I see this growing to like you know, different states,” Genesis said.

Suenos Coffee, Pastries and More is also offering cooking classes. “We’re working to offer kids classes and even couples classes where they can decorate their cake together, where my husband can also offer a coffee workshop,” Norma said.
