Great little cafe tucked into a cute independent book store (so rare nowadays!) Mike the barista is friendly and knowledgeable. Espresso shots are pulled with care and latte drinks are steamed and poured beautifully. Support your local independent businesses!

Nice relaxing bookstore. They have new and used books. There is a nice big window in the front with a few barstools or chairs, where you can people watch or sit and enjoy a book. There's also a small chess set, I had my two younger kids and they love playing chess, so this was a nice distraction while I waited for my coffee. The coffee was delicious. I had the ube latte. The barista was very kind to answer all of my questions, as I have never been here before. I would definitely recommend and I love the area. It was situated right on the corner, so it was easy to find as well.

Drinks: Honey Cardamom Latte (4.5/5) - I really enjoy the cardamom taste and I think the honey made a good balance. Space: There's some bar seatings & 2 tables outside. There's two spots for chess players and then a whole children's section at the back. Parking: Old Town Tustin parking. Overall: 5.5/5!! This is the coffee station inside Arvida Book Co. The place is such a vibe and there's a special spot for Harry Potter fans (I don't want to spoil it for you). The staff were really nice and brought my drink over while I was walking around the store (thank you!)

Tolima Coffee is located in Arvida Book Store. That's right - my 2 loves (books & coffee) in 1 spot!!!! The people that work at Arvida are really cool peeps. They are super helpful and have good vibes! I got to enjoy my spanish latte while looking through the book aisles. I loved that their was a local who passed by and offered the barista homemade cake. Lot that close knit community feeling that I get when I come here.

This place is very charming. Imagine if the foyer in your house was 30 ft wider, ornamented with beautiful rugs and books and a boss barista was there, waiting beside a gorgeous Vespa-white espresso machine. Perfect espresso pull, foamed pistachio milk Capp for me. Took my drink past the beautiful books, nooks, and art to the back patio. Amazing
Love this place soo much! The coffee is delicious, the service is wonderful, and the book store is such a great vibe. Highly recommend :)

I drove here from Irvine because I wanted to try something new, I was hungry and wanted a nice coffee drink. I had a little trouble finding it because there is a large sign that reads that it's a Arvida Book Company, so I passed it, determined to find it, eventually I got there. Tolima Coffee is located inside Arvida Book Company. The service was good, so was the latte I ordered, the only food they had were gluten free chocolate chip cookies. The bookstore itself was interesting, could be a cool place to hangout and read. The best part of my visit was watching a young boy get super excited about a hard cover book he wanted his mom to buy for him. If your in the area, and want an interesting place to stop for a good cup of coffee or tea, definitely give it try.
