Dissapointment. Mexican mocha was ok, however the major let down the the crepes, WORST crepes i have ever had. They were cold, dry, super dense and plain. If a good crepe cant be made not sure i would come back to try the food.

Used to love that place. Chilaquiles were served cold (salsa was cold) so had to ask the lady to reheat them. They did, but it was obvious that they were not happy to do so. Portions are considerably smaller than before, and service was just not friendly today. Wouldn’t complain but the place is not cheap, so my expectations were higher.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Palo Santo Cafe in Riverbank, California, and the experience was absolutely amazing! The food was a true revelation. I can confidently say I have never had better Mole Sauce anywhere—the owner shared that it's made with 40 different spices, and you can taste the complexity and passion in every bite. Exceptional Service and Personal Touch What truly set this visit apart was the service. The owner personally came out to serve and speak with us, sharing wonderful details about their kitchen. She described how her husband had just made the very first batch of gelato and even walked us through the intricate process they use to create both the famous mole and the delicious cheesecake. I have never been treated so great by any other host or owner—it felt incredibly welcoming and special. Beyond the main meal, the dessert selection was equally impressive. I absolutely love the gelato, and the variety offered was fantastic. But the showstopper was the cheesecake; it was so incredible that I just had to take two slices home! If you're in the area, Palo Santo Cafe is a must-visit for top-notch food, phenomenal desserts, and truly heartfelt, personal service. Highly, highly recommend!

Went in this morning to try the pastries and noticed there was a fly all over the cookies I told the lady behind the counter and there was no sense of urgency to get it out so I passed on that and then I asked her if they have pozole verde all the time and she said she didn't know so i had to ask someone else . I got the abuelita hot chocolate and it taste like a regular hot chocolate not worth the price $7 i can make it better sorry not sorry. I hate to leave a bad review, Customer service is not that great either

First time here and the atmosphere was so nice, especially for a Wednesday! The staff was nice and welcoming. I ordered a pumpkin spice horchata cold brew and it was DELICIOUS! When I was picking up my drink I got a chance to see the food and I can’t wait to come back to try it 💕 drink was $7+

I absolutely love this place. I've brought my friends, siblings, husband and parents to their food because of how great it tastes. I stop by for some coffee and treats every now and then as well. Their tres leches is delicious paired with an iced abuelita mocha. The service is great as well!

Got a berry banana Nutella crepe and a cheese and turkey crepe with two special coffees. Crepes were filled pretty well and coffee was good. Just not a lot of places to sit and it gets pretty busy sometimes. Went at like 11 on a Saturday and immediately after it got busy so we were lucky to grab a seat. Would have been 5 stars but the total was around 50 so it's on the pricey side
Food was OKAY, customer service was mediocre , the girls working looked stressed and they have terrible attitude.

First time visiting, I ordered a crêpe and the vegan horchata (which was delicious). After waiting 45 minutes, I found out they never had my order. The same thing happened to the table next to me, but they were refunded while I wasn’t. Very unprofessional and disappointing service.

arrived to get a matcha and the 3 girls working looked like lost puppies, trash service. They need more training or more staff.

I came here to order two raspberry cheesecakes, they didn’t have any ; they only have lime and strawberry, which is OK that’s what I ended up getting one lime and one strawberry I also order one elote pie to go when I left when I left I tried to eat my pie only to find out that it was no pie on my bag so I came back. I told them that they forgot to include the pie. The lady was not nice. She took forever to give me the pie. She just threw it on me with no bag. I also asked for three spoons. She only gave me two, so do I suppose to share my spoon with my coworkers? anyways I left the pie has a good flavor the cheesecake too, but I hate the service that I got. I only had 30 min lunch and I took me 45 min to get my order

I had ordered a dish that a person after me also ordered. When the waitress served them first then the rest of my family’s food came out and she served our table, I was the only one not eating. When I brought it to my attention she was cold and said,”we have another coming out.” Not even an apology or understanding that she made the mistake. Food was great, atmosphere wonderful, attitudes from some of the staff, genuinely rude.
