MADE WITH CULTURE, SHARED WITH LOVE
At Little Cocoa Bean, we believe mealtimes are more than food. We create fresh, flavorful dishes inspired by global traditions — designed for children and caregivers alike — to support busy grown-ups and celebrate every kind of family.
WE BELiEVE
…that food is more than fuel—it’s culture, community, and care. It’s how we pass down heritage and build up health.
WE DESiGN
…our spaces and services with parents and children in mind—thoughtfully creating environments that are joyful, inclusive, and low-stress
WE SERVE
…families with a spirit of joy, because being part of the village that raises a child is both a joyful (sometimes chaotic) and beautiful experience.
WE WELCOME
…all families, cultures, and backgrounds into our space. Our café is a place where everyone is invited, valued, and free to just be.
WE CARE
…for every child like our own and support caregivers with warmth, respect, and trust, because healthy beginnings lead to lifelong wellbeing.
WE iNSPiRE
……families to celebrate the everyday moments, connect across cultures, and nurture little ones with joy and confidence.
OUR STORY
When Tracy Skelly had her first child in 2018, she welcomed the break from her demanding career. She cherished her time at home but, like many working moms, prepared to head back to work within a few short months of meeting her baby.
During her return-to-work prep, she found that she was unable to find baby foods with the culturally diverse flavors and nutrient content that she sought for her daughter. First foods, those that are introduced to babies in the first few months of life are ‘heritage foods’ (which) connect cultural beliefs, traditions, and what is available locally. For Tracy, that meant the inclusion of foods in the tradition of the African Diaspora, containing ingredients such as collards, chayote, papaya and tamarind. Despite being a busy working mom, Tracy took matters into her own hands and began to experiment with making her own baby food. She found that by incorporating the diverse, fresh veggies, fruits and spices she was able to create baby food products that were superior in terms of nutritional content and more culturally relevant.
The combined success of her food experimentation and desire to do more to promote child health in her community, led to the founding of the Little Cocoa Bean Co. in 2019.
