I finally had a chill morning and decided to stop by this privately owned coffee shop, El Jardín. This isn’t my first time here, but I can honestly say I think I’ve found the coffee spot I’ve been looking for. The atmosphere is friendly, relaxing, and welcoming. It has that neighborhood vibe where it doesn’t feel like everyone is strangers—it feels more like we’re all just surviving the same world together, helped along by a good cup of caffeine. Their coffee beans are a perfect blend of flavor—rich and delightful without any harsh aftertaste. Even better, it doesn’t leave you with that horrible acid reflux feeling that sometimes comes with strong coffee. I ordered the horchata iced latte and specifically asked for it not to be too sweet. They nailed it. It was perfectly balanced—not overpowered by creamer, not too strong on the caffeine, just smooth and refreshing. I also ordered the chicken pesto, and let me tell you: if you’re a pesto lover, this is what you want. The chicken tasted fresh, not frozen. The tomatoes were bright and flavorful, the arugula was crisp, and the pesto—with its well-blended nuts—brought everything together beautifully. The olive oil was light and balanced, making it satisfying without feeling heavy. I’ve seen some mixed reviews about this place, but honestly, I think some people just need to travel a little farther to experience the difference between exquisite and mediocre—because this place is exquisite. If you’re looking for a smooth, relaxing, uplifting cup of coffee and a light lunch made with fresh ingredients, I highly recommend stopping by. There were three girls working behind the counter, and all of them were kind and welcoming. I’m honestly looking forward to the day they start selling their beans so I can mail them to my family all over the U.S. That’s how good this place is!

Food was mediocre. I ordered the egg sandwich and got scrambled eggs in the sandwich that were a tad on the oily side almost as if they don’t clean the grill on which they are cooking them. I also got the iced horchata latte with 70% ice and 30% latte. The largest size coffee they got is actually a medium. For the price you’re paying you’d think the coffee would be great. You’re paying for the location not the food on this one.

First time trying this place and I ordered the Matcha Clasico. It was $8.76. Sorry but that's overpriced and taste was just OK. I'm all for supporting small businesses but not for this price.

Very cute religious spot! I tried their fresas con crema matcha drink and it was good. Id say even when busy or maybe when seeing someone who is clearly new, offer a welcoming greeting or maybe friendly.. other than that cool spot. May return to try their food.

Chicken pesto sandwich was delicious. I ordered a horchata matcha for myself and the fresas con crema matcha fit my daughter. The were both delicious! Also the banana muffin was perfection!
Big long hair in my breakfast burrito. I'm bald, I have no hair. It's so big I don't know how they didn't see it while they were cooking! Food in general isn't bad, tastes good. Drinks I will say are a bit high priced.

Their summer beverages are made only by syrup and ice. They taste artificial. 🙁 Very disappointing.

Went here before heading back to the bay area. I like trying small business owned businesses, especially coffee shops. Parking is a bit hard to find, but we found one in front if the shop in less than ten min. I went around 10am and it was not busy. We were in and out within ten minutes. The staff was friendly and outgoing, which made my morning even better. I liked that they had on the door that they were out of matcha. There are some coffee shops that wait till you are in line and then let you know that they are out of something. The mazapan coffee 1st tasted like burned coffee, but after awhile it had some great mazapan flavor. The churro latte surprised me because I did not expect it to taste so much like a churro. Some places say it's a churro latte and it just has some cinnamon, but here it felt like I was eating an actual churro. I will definitely be back when I am in town.
