Alyza Bohbot ’08 (below), owner of Alakef Coffee Roasters and creator of City Girl Coffee brand, was featured on 3rd Hour of TODAY. Alyza shares that, shortly after she took over her family’s coffee business, Alakef, she realized the company would need a differentiator to thrive in the marketplace. She began to see the challenges faced by female coffee growers and soon launched a sister company, City Girl, which raises awareness and sources its brew exclusively from female growers. City Girl Coffee will be featured at this year’s Syracuse Samplings event at Whitman on September 30 during Orange Central 2022.
