Team
Jula Jane
CEO | Visionary
A natural born entrepreneur, Jula first got into business at the early age of six when she opened a thriving lemonade stand. Fast forward a few decades and many successful ventures later and the formula for her success remains the same today: killer location, high-quality ingredients, and over-the-top service that keeps you coming back for more.

The raw office space that is now Café 44, was made possible through her talents as a real estate broker, interior designer, and skilled negotiator. From conceptualization to launch, she’s had a hand in every aspect of Café 44, and continues to make an impact. Having traveled the world and dined on everything from street food in the Middle East to Michelin-rated in London, she brings an in-depth knowledge of cuisine and culture to the table.
Joe Quintero
GM | Beverage Director
Joe has a rare gift for remembering your name and ‘go-to’ order, but what stands out the most is his welcoming smile and ability to make you feel special. When you walk in the door and he nods your way, you know he’s got you covered.

Joe has a few select passions in life: crafting elaborate beverages, indulging in Cuban cuisine, and styling his iconic facial hair. The term “hipster” has been thrown around, but we’re not here to judge.

Humberto ‘Tico’ Trejo
Executive Chef
Shanice Williamson
Sous Chef
Though she generally prefers to steer clear of the public eye, her talents cannot go unpraised! Just because Shanice is quiet doesn’t mean she’s to be underestimated. Some would describe her as the calm in the chaos. Like all ninjas, Shanice has been trained to flourish under pressure. Her hands and ladle are always steady, even during the lunch rush—no small feat if you’ve ever visited the café during Taco Tuesday.

She also makes some of the best soups you’ll ever taste. Her secret: each recipe is unique, like composing a song. When you eat the soup, it’s almost like hearing a sonata for the first time. We would apologize for bragging about her culinary skills if it wasn’t true. Above all, Shanice is the go-to person in times when the rest of the team needs someone to listen or a good laugh. Be sure to peek through the kitchen window and wave to her the next time you stop by!
