Our Story:
The Heart of Trópico

A Family's Passion, A Culture's Celebration in Minnesota

Who We Are

Trópico is more than just a sweet and bar; it’s a dream realized by a Colombian family dedicated to sharing their heritage, one vibrant flavor at a time.

From Colombia to Minnesota: Our Tropical Journey

Trópico is a tropical escape in the heart of Minnesota, inspired by the authentic sweet recipes of Colombian culture and vibrant cocktails full of flavor. We were born from the desire to offer fresh, colorful alternatives that reflect the joy, flavors, and colors of our homeland: Colombia! We celebrate the beauty of Latin culture and love sharing it with those discovering it for the first time… or those who try it and fall in love forever. In the midst of Minnesota’s beautiful cold, Trópico is a place where you can feel the warmth, the music, the energy, and the taste of a truly tropical vibe. That’s why Trópico was born. And here, you’re always welcome to feel right at home!

Meet the Heart Behind Trópico

We are a proud Colombian family passionate about sharing the colors, flavors, and joy of our culture. Trópico was born from a dream—and today, it’s a vibrant reality that has transformed our lives in unexpected and beautiful ways. This journey has taught us not only to persevere, but to embrace who we are: authentic, imperfect, resilient, and full of flavor—just like our cocktails. Through challenges and triumphs, Trópico reminds us every day of the power of community, creativity, and courage. Each one of us brings a different spark to the mix—whether it’s in the kitchen, behind the bar, or dreaming up the next big idea. Together, we’re an explosive blend of talents, optimism, and endless tropical energy. We believe in fresh starts, bold moves, and dancing through the chaos. Welcome to our world. Welcome to Trópico.
