Sueños Coffee Co was born from the desire to bring the high-quality local coffee shop experience straight into our community. Sueños Coffee Co was inspired by our 12 year old daughter in 2020 who in the middle of a pandemic dove into her love of baking and launched Sugar N Glitz. It started as a home-based baking business but quickly turned into New Mexico’s first Desserts & Coffee Food Truck to hit the streets of New Mexico and serve our community the best of both worlds. Our barista dad then began to build our first walk-in mobile coffee shop. Sueños Coffee Co. is what happens when a coffee & pastry loving family put faith over fear and work together to share their God given talents with our community. We pride ourselves in serving you the best quality products all made to order and along with the best customer service possible

As the technology-transfer and economic-development organization for the University of New Mexico (fka STC.UNM), UNM Rainforest Innovations protects and commercializes technologies developed at UNM by filing patents and copyrights and transferring them to the marketplace.

UNM Rainforest Innovations’s vision is to play a vital role in New Mexico’s economic development and to be a leader in technology commercialization.
