PERSON: Jackie Nguyen

Owner

Cafe Cà Phê

My name is Jackie Nguyen! I am a first generation, Vietnamese American, daughter of a refugee. I was born and raised in sunny San Diego, California. After graduating California State University, Fullerton with a BFA in Musical Theatre, I moved to New York City to pursue a career on Broadway. Some of my favorite jobs were performing on stage with Reba McIntyre, Ashlee Simpson, many holiday seasons with How The Grinch Stole Christmas the Musical and most recently traveling the country with the Broadway Revival Tour of Miss Saigon.<br> <br> After ten years of being a New Yorker, ten International and National Broadway tours, I’ve decided to take a career pivot, relocate to KCMO and pour my heart into Cafe Cà Phê. Spending 8 years of being a barista, coffee has always been a very big part of my life. Then, a trip to Vietnam last year sprung as the big catalyst for my career change. With the yearning for entrepreneurship, the idea of a traveling Vietnamese coffeeshop was born.<br> <br> >> Cafecaphe.com
