Osechas said she and Godoy have been friends for a long time and they've always wanted to open a coffee shop together. The friends originally lived in Venezuela, later spent two years in Orlando and have now lived in Topeka for the past two years. "When we got to Topeka, people called us 'The Chamas,' and that's how we decided the name," said Godoy. In Venezuela, "chama" is a common slang term meaning "girl" or "friend."
