the founder

Ate Maye founded Babaylan Brews as a Las Vegas coffee cart in January of 2025, but her journey started long before that.

During the pandemic, she fell in love with baking bread and brewing beer. In her small New Mexican kitchen, she brewed and bottled the first edition of Babaylan Brews beers. Later, her passion extended to other types of brews — cocktails, juices, and now, coffee and matcha. While Babaylan Brews has yet to return to our beer-brewing roots, Ate Maye is enjoying the ever-evolving craft of building and perfecting our unique menu.

This cart is a physical manifestation of her passion and joy, a reminder to moms everywhere that anything is possible when you believe in yourself.

During what was supposed to be a singular “gap year,” Achi Oia found herself whisked into ate Maye’s beverage dreams.

What began as an excuse to put off studying for the LSAT, Oia riffed off of Ate Maye’s logo design and built the Babaylan Brews brand, the visual identity you see today. Contrary to popular belief, her background in film production and critical theory essay writing (thank you, small liberal arts school) actually did not prepare her for a year of graphic design, social media, and barista-ing. What it did prepare her for, was being unafraid to lead with intentionality and transparency.

Achi Oia now enjoys crafting her own original drinks and feels incredibly blessed to work alongside and constantly learn from the coolest mom in the world.

Following in Achi’s footsteps, Titoi has recently moved to Vegas for his own “gap year.”

Currently, Titoi can’t even turn on the espresso machine at home, but what he can contribute is a whole lot of heart, empathy, and actual graphic design experience. A recent college grad now home from the great city of Boston, he looks forward to resetting his white people palette with the diverse cuisines found in Vegas. A big foodie, we look forward to the flavors he’ll bring to Babaylan.

Outside of helping his mom and sister, Titoi’s favorite thing in the world is basketball. Ask him about his favorite teams or literally anything about 2k.
