What a cute gem and great location! Stopped by for a Spanish latte (oat milk with some cinnamon), tamale and muffin. Thoroughly enjoyed the Spanish latte. The tamale and muffin were reasonable. I would return to try a few more of their food items. The park is right across the street with a wonderful playground. It was nice to be deliciously caffeinated for the playground.

I really like this place. I love the assortment of rosaries and religious products they sell and it's such an sweet space. I would say the coffee was average but not bad got a chai honestly not sure I would get it again . Very nice staff and clean!!!

What what?! A Urth Cafe products at Church?!? Deal for 2 tamales! Chicken or cheese. What a deal!Easy metered parking out front or free parking at the Church.

Loved this coffee experience and what a brilliant way for the church to make both some revenue as well as community gathering. The coffee (particularly the frappe) was delicious and the place seems to be a lovely place to spend some time and get some work done as well.

Woman locked the door two hours before they closed right as I was walking up to the door.

Excellent coffee. Almond croissants are to die for as are the strawberry banana smoothies.Lots of rosaries and good Catholic books to choose from.The staff are great people

Cozy little coffee shop with Catholic themes, which makes perfect sense given the name, location, and their mission. Love that it’s a coffee stop that gives back to the community.I came in on a Sunday morning and there were a few people in there enjoying their breakfast. I got a warm ham and cheese croissant, a chocolate espresso scone, and a pumpkin spice latte! Perfect way to kick off the fall season. The croissant was pretty oily-probably butter, but delicious nonetheless. The scone wasn’t too sweet, but a perfect match to the sweeter spiced latte.They have indoor seating, I saw one man sit a table with his lap dog.

The cafe is adorable, as are the many locals who frequent here. Today my friend and I got to hear the story of the cafe’s purpose: to provide employment and mentorship to youth who were formerly incarcerated or from the foster care system. It is a privilege to enjoy such delicious beverages and treats and contribute to this cause and community.

I really like this place. At first the name threw me off. But I've been here twice. The best thing, their tamales. I know. Who would have thought. Their tamales are literally one of the best I've ever had. I also always get their Spanish iced latte which I enjoy.

Just moved to the neighborhood and already love this spot! Small, friendly, local, and great matcha lattes that are cheaper than other nearby joints. Can’t wait to come back!
