“I want to honor Juan Agredano, his family, and their restaurant, C & J Cafe in Delta, Colorado. They have worked hard and served their community for decades.”
“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Juan Agredano and his family, owners of C & J Cafe in Delta, Colorado, a community institution that has served Western Slope families since the 1980s. When I visited last month, I was welcomed the same way every customer is: like family. This is no accident. It is the culture that Juan; his wife, Robin; and their daughter, Jennifer, have built through decades of showing up for their community day after day. C & J Cafe is the kind of place that doesn’t just feed people. It brings them together. Whether it is the legendary cinnamon rolls, said to be the largest in Delta County, or simply the warmth at the door, the Agredanos have made their restaurant a cornerstone of community life. When the challenges of COVID threatened restaurants across the country, Juan and Jennifer kept showing up. They kept serving their neighbors, and their neighbors never forgot it. I am proud to represent a district with families like the Agredanos whose hard work, generosity, and commitment strengthen the communities they call home.”
