An avid bicycle rider, Trujillo named the café Hub for two reasons: as a nod to his bicycle riding but also to create a community hub that will bring coffee aficionados together.
Hub Coffee was born at 32 Cheney Street, in Reno’s Midtown District, within a 400 square foot café and only a few seats with limited parking. What it featured was delicious coffee and talented baristas wanting to create superb, hand-crafted coffees.

The bike ride begins at 8:30 a.m. and more anniversary information is available on Hub’s website.
