ABOUT BIKINI & BEAN
Brewed for Paradise — est. 2025
Founded by Elia (Solis) and Paul Wright, Bikini & Bean Co. is a boutique beachfront coffee shop rooted in love for Belizean culture, community, and coffee. Elia, a proud Belizean from Caledonia and a retired U.S. Army veteran, and Paul, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and now a Belizean citizen, reside in Corozal and share a deep commitment to preserving the vibrant customs, traditions, and spirit of Belize. As veterans, their passion for service extends beyond uniform—they created Bikini & Bean Co. to give back to their community in a meaningful way.
Located in San Pedro, our café is the first of its kind to serve only 100% Belizean-grown coffee and locally produced pastries, crafted by Belizean hands. All of our staff are Belizean and earn U.S.-level salaries, not hourly wages, helping ensure a livable income and setting a new benchmark for fair employment in the region. Bikini & Bean Co. is more than a coffee shop—it’s a space to relax, connect, and refuel while celebrating everything that makes Belize beautifully unique.
As we grow, we hope to bring this same passion and purpose to additional locations on the mainland, continuing our mission to uplift local communities and keep the true Belizean vibe alive
Our Mission
At Bikini & Bean Co., our mission is to celebrate and preserve the heart of Belize by serving premium locally grown coffee and handcrafted Belizean pastries in a space that embodies island warmth, community, and culture. We are committed to empowering our staff with U.S.-level salaries, supporting sustainable livelihoods, and setting a new standard for fair and ethical business in Belize. As veterans and proud members of the Corozal community, we aim to grow with purpose—expanding to the mainland while keeping the true Belizean spirit alive in every cup we serve
