Meet the Silvas

Jeff and Angela Silva didn’t simply buy a coffee shop—they purchased their favorite one. As longtime regulars and friends of the original Hotwire crew, they eagerly took over when the shop went up for sale in 2016. Best decision ever? We think so.

Jeff, a Rochester, MA native, moved to Seattle in 1992 and never looked back. He has built a life rooted in music, family, and smart investments—including a growing coffee-and-baked goods business known as Hotwire Coffeehouse. Jeff also serves as Treasurer of the West Seattle Junction Association and is pursuing a master’s degree in education with a mathematics endorsement.

Angela is a lifelong West Seattleite, from Schmitz Park Elementary and Madison Middle School to West Seattle High School and the UW Foster School of Business. Before joining Hotwire, she was a founding team member at a scrappy real estate startup called Redfin.

They’re proud parents of August and Samantha, who currently works as one of Hotwire’s friendly baristas.
