more than
your morning
coffee.
Cholita brings the clarity of a gallery and the warmth of a neighborhood café into one small, intentional space.
Come for coffee. Stay for the work on the walls, a conversation, a book release or the feeling of seeing Latin American stories held with care in the middle of Queens.

the gallery
is part of
the order.
Cholita's feed reads like a neighborhood bulletin board: documentary photography, print culture, books, music and collective action. The gallery makes those cultural exchanges part of the everyday café experience.
