Nice place but I hate when the sell you pastries few days old at full price. I think CA needs a law to mark pastries and bread that is few days old to protect customers. Sell it at least at discount or let the customer know.

Reminds me of the good ole times when you can come in grab a coffee and chill. No hustle, no bustle, just hang and read the paper kinda vibes. Coffee selections are good. Barista is cool.

Great coffee shop but today’s creme brûlée deserves no stars at all. I tried to cut a piece and it bounced off my plate. The taste is terrible. Not what I came here for.

The coffee tasted burnt, the flavors were muddled and the girl behind the counter couldn’t bother to look up at me once from the moment I walked in to the moment I walked out, waste of my time and energy to drive out here.

I've been to a lot of coffee shops in a lot of places and this is by far the best coffee I've ever had, and the ambiance is immaculate, I don't usually review places, but I feel the need to give back somehow for this phenomenal experience.

Just a lovely little coffee house! Came here with a friend and the menu has the usual favorites plus unique offerings. I had the London Fog and it was delicious. Wonderful staff, Kyle was so friendly and helpful. Will definitely be coming back!

I walked up to the counter, decided to be adventurous, and asked the bartender to surprise me. They whipped up a “cinnamon honey rose latte” for me and OH MY GOD. I don’t even like coffee but I like The Coffee Tale’s coffee.

Came here on a whim and enjoyed my time here. It was a pleasant shop with a good atmosphere in the nice village.

I ordered a Turkish coffee, which surprised me since it was strong but not too dark and was nice to drink. The person I was with got a mocha latte, which was also good and had a sweet hot chocolate taste.

SPOIL YOUR TASTEBUDS ! We discovered this cafe for lunch one Sunday a few weeks ago after a walk around the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve. I guess you would call their menu Turkish fusion...the Spinach Borek and Feta Cheese Borek tasted excellent. Definitely an unpretentious cafe which lets it's food, coffee & service do the talking. We were impressed ! On Sunday we headed over here for lunch...a much better option than most of the cafes around our way. After parking our wheels in the public parking lot we wandered around inside the quaint Old World Village shops until we found The Coffee Tale. It was around 12.45pm when we walked inside....many of the tables were occupied. LOVELY ! The moment we stepped inside the door we heard a "Welcome what can we help you with" from a cheerful guy named Kanan behind the counter. A buzzing cashier / barista named Kylie took our lunch order for 1 x Turkish Spinach Borek, 1 x Turkish Feta Cheese Borek, 2 x Flat Whites with 2% milk & Monin Hazelnut syrup, 1 x New York Cheesecake and 1 x Boston Cream Pie. NICE VIBE ! You always know if a place you're dining in feels right...this place does. Before we knew it our dessert cake slices were adorned and ready.....gee they looked nice ! Next up our Flat Whites were ready to pick up at the counter. NICE JOB ! Our flat whites tasted rich creamy and very satisfying...good job cashier / barista Kylie ! Now they heat up the Boreks naturally in an oven not a darn microwave which would ruin them. EVENTUALLY ! Kylie brought out our 2 Boreks to our lounge table....we had a lovely comfy spot on the sofa. TRUST ME ! We split them in half and shared. Either one was very delicious....the flaky pastry made them even better. We first tried Borek at a Turkish restaurant in Manhattan, NY about 3 years ago. It was quite different to the variety sold here but I'm sure there are multiple variations all over the world. DESSERT ! It was really hard eating our scrumptious Boreks while staring at our sensational looking New York Cheese Cake and Boston Cream Pie right in front of us. YEAH BABY ! My New York Cheese Cake with caramel drizzle tasted very good...very rich and filling ! My wife enjoyed her Boston Cream Pie with chocolate drizzle...there are variations of Boston Cream Pies too. All in all it was a fabulous lunch. NOT ALL CAFES ARE CREATED EQUAL !
