Kansas City, KS — The Santafé Wanderers are proud to officially announce a new community-driven partnership with Cortadito Cuban Cafe, naming the beloved Kansas City, Kansas establishment as the club’s Official Coffee Partnerahead of the upcoming USL2 season.
Rooted in the heart of Kansas City, Kansas, both Santafé Wanderers and Cortadito Cuban Cafe share more than just geography — they share a deep commitment to culture, community, and the future of Hispanic youth across the region.
Cortadito Cuban Cafe, led by owners Karell and Nubia Martinez, has become a staple within the KCK community, known not only for its authentic Cuban coffee and cuisine, but for its welcoming atmosphere and dedication to bringing people together. That same spirit of unity and cultural pride is what drives the mission of the Santafé Wanderers.
“This partnership is about more than coffee — it’s about community,” said a Santafé Wanderers club representative. “Cortadito represents the heartbeat of Kansas City, Kansas. Their story, their roots, and their commitment to people align perfectly with what we are building through the Wanderers.”
As part of the partnership, Cortadito Cuban Cafe will be actively involved in matchday experiences, club events, and community initiatives focused on uplifting and empowering Hispanic youth throughout Kansas City. Together, both organizations aim to create meaningful opportunities that extend far beyond the pitch — from mentorship and cultural engagement to fostering pride in heritage and identity.
For Cortadito Cuban Cafe, the collaboration represents a natural extension of their mission.
“We’ve always believed in investing in our community,” said Karell Martinez. “Partnering with Santafé Wanderers allows us to be part of something bigger — supporting young people, celebrating our culture, and building something lasting here in Kansas City, Kansas.”
The Santafé Wanderers continue to position themselves as more than a football club — serving as a platform for cultural connection, opportunity, and growth within the Hispanic community. This partnership with Cortadito Cuban Cafe marks another important step in that journey.
As the Wanderers prepare for the season ahead, fans can expect to see the presence of Cortadito Cuban Cafe both on matchdays and throughout the community — a symbol of what can be achieved when local institutions come together with a shared purpose.
