I originally wanted to go to the bar in Vroman’s Bookstore, but it had an age restriction. So, my daughter and I decided to check this place out. At first, I was hesitant, but I thought we give it a go. I’m glad we did! I got an Iced Adelina Latte and my daughter had an iced hot chocolate. I could taste the cinnamon and other subtle spices in my drink, and my daughter was pleased with hers. I was surprised it was on the expensive side. But, unlike at other coffee shops like Starbucks, the cup size was big for regular.

Update: Our second visit was a little disappointing. My daughter and I ordered the same things. Only this time, we ordered them hot. Mine tasted okay, but my daughter told me her hot chocolate tasted too much like milk. So, I guess the ratio of cocoa powder to milk was not well-proportioned. It seems like the taste of beverages vary depending on who makes them. This is not good in my book.

Finally made it here...and was not disappointed. Thank you for supporting the kind of community I grew up with. Continue doing what you all do. Cafe de Olla and Horchata iced latte was amazing. Can't wait to go back.

Great customer service. Welcome me and my family when we walked in. Their coffee and pastries are so delicious. My opinion way better than Starbucks. Thank you for everything. Will come back again

Nice vibe w indoor and outdoor seating, complimentary water and great breakfast burrito. This shop participates in a rehab program for people who need a fresh start and I love that. I would come frequently if I lived close just to support that effort . Burrito was not over potato which is always the problem w breakfast burritos IMHO …had flavor without being over spiced..coffee custom and delish.. clean and nice spot Thank you

The vibe is super warm and welcoming, and the staff make you feel right at home. The coffee is incredible — I’m a blonde roast fan, but the Café de Olla and horchata latte totally blew me away. The pastries hit the spot too. Love that it shares space with a bookstore — it’s the perfect place to chill. My kids loved it!

I love this unapologetically Latin coffee shop. The staff are super friendly. It is an excellent addition to the bookstore ecosystem that they share their space with.

Cute store but 19 bucks for 2 drinks. The wait for a cuffee shouldn't take 20 minutes.

There is always exceptional customer service here. My favorite drink is the “Adelita” coffee. It’s delicious hot or over ice! They also have a nice selection of T-shirts ( I’ve got almost all of them except for one light blue Father Boyle shirt which was sold out). Joined the Tepito club to earn points and be aware of their products and community events. Will be returning anytime I’m at Vroman’s.

We always always always stop in when we're at Vromans and I've never had a bad drink or snack or experience. Perfect addition to the bookstore and an afternoon out

In summary: don't go here.
How long can a matcha latte and chai latte take? 25 minutes, that's how long. And they're not even that busy. They just didn't manage their time well. And the drinks are just ok.
Given this, they're super nice!
And they were out of pour over. And out of cold brew. They had ice coffee but it was still brewing but I didn't want it.
The atmosphere is hectic but in an uncomfortable way. Couldn't work or chat here. The street seating is nice but there was a heavy smell so...
Yeah, go elsewhere unless they're not busy at all.
