Monika Vera | Black & White

Black & White was born from a dream…

and from a reinvention.

I’m Monika Vera, and together with my husband Robinson, we started this adventure several years ago. We come from the hospitality world: my parents worked in it their whole lives and taught me from a young age the value of doing things well and treating people with kindness and care.

Before the pandemic, we managed the Black & White restaurant, and I also ran an events and decoration company with a friend. Until one day, life changed our plans… and with them, our entire vision.

A family café in El Puerto

A new beginning with the same essence

That’s when we decided to give the project a new direction. I felt my city needed a special place:
not just to grab a quick coffee or breakfast, but to stay, to enjoy slowly.

A beautiful, cozy place where every detail speaks for itself. That’s how the new version of Black & White was born: a café with soul.

Will you join us on this journey?

Here, every detail matters

At Black & White, everything is thought out with love.

The décor, the charming corners, the soft music, the homemade pastries I prepare with my own hands, the breakfasts, the carefully decorated events…
Everything is part of an experience we want you to feel from the very first moment.

Because to us, details truly matter. And that’s our secret ingredient.

More than coffee and cakes: this is where memories are made

More than a café, a little haven

Black & White is much more than a café.
It’s a little haven where you can enjoy life’s small pleasures, share a conversation, celebrate something special, or simply take a break.

We want you to feel special.
But also, right at home.

Monika Vera: the heart and soul of Black & White

And who am I, beyond the apron?

Besides being the pastry heart of this project, I’m passionate about design, aesthetics, and the art of creating spaces that are felt.

I love caring for the invisible: what doesn’t show in a photo but is sensed the moment you walk in.
That feeling that everything was made with love and intention.

I’m one of those who believes a well-set table can change your day.
That a beautiful breakfast can be a way of saying “I love you.”
And that spaces, when created with care, can become home.

What they say about us...

So many have already trusted us

Nothing makes us happier than seeing our customers enjoy themselves.

Every message, every review, every smile reminds us why we do what we do:
to create moments that are beautiful, delicious, and full of love.
