After 11 years of service work, Carolina Hernandez, a Guatemalan immigrant, has opened Tikal Café on the corner of Decatur and Knickerbocker.
On the morning of May 15, a sunny Saturday, I walked up to a small gathering of people celebrating the opening of Tikal Café, a new coffee and brunch spot on the corner of Decatur Street and Knickerbocker Avenue in Bushwick. There to greet me was Carolina Hernandez, the owner of the cafe, wearing a traditional Guatemalan dress, covered in bright, eye-catching floral designs.
