The café de olla was very (cinnamon) strong and too sweet.

We tried the iced chocolate abuelita latte and it was perfect. Such a cute coffee shop with friendly staff.

the horchata latte was so gritty and sour &the deluxe bagel just had deli meat & a few pieces of lettuce. do not recommend
Hands down the best concha I’ve had in my entire life. The service was friendly, welcoming and genuine from the moment I walked in. Great coffee, great people and a place I’ll definitely be coming back to.

Had 3 different iced lattes with almond milk (usually do oatmilk but they ran out) and they were amazing! Staff were super nice! Can’t go wrong with anything in their menu. But must go early cause they sell out early throughout the day.

Super kind staff! Loved my vanilla ice latte with almond milk. Homemade syrups were delicious. The cherry on top was the impressive homemade bagels. I’m vegan so ordered a homemade bagel with avocado spread- so delicious. I wish the spot was a little bigger but we were able to grab a table and enjoy. Super delicious- definitely coming back!

Coffee is not worth waiting half an hour.
Great bagel and specialty coffee drinks. A little sweet for my liking but reduced sugar options make it great

Their house specials are spot on! Horchata latte is not too sweet and very good, would recommend. Their brown sugar shaken espresso is my go to. But snuck a sip of my father-in-law’s latte, which was the Horchata latte and highly recommend next time I’m getting that. We tried their muffins and a concha. Concha was good (nice and warm) but muffins were phenomenal. Next time I stop in I’m definitely getting a bagel. I’ve gone during the week when it’s a little slower and on a Sunday morning, where it was busy you was where we were at a nightclub. Sure there was a wait, but I think their lattes are so good. It justifies the wait.
Picture below we tried all of their house specials. I would say top two are Horchata latte and brown sugar, shaken espresso. Will be going back and I live nowhere close.

The employees were super welcoming, and Camil recommended her favorite drink. I tried the Horchata Latte and it was delicious!
Such a cute little spot to relax and enjoy some coffee. Will definitely come back again soon

When I tell you the cheddar jalapeno bagel is the move! It’s SO good and fluffy and idk just the ideal bagel texture (personal preference possibly) we got that and a ham Sammie that was made on a bagel bc they were out of bread and it ended up being so good too! I got a banana latte + my husband got the brown sugar. I couldn’t taste any banana at all, it was pretty bland and I didn’t end up finishing it bc of that. I drank husbands latte which was pretty good! I did get a lot of coarse sugar when I took sips but I didn’t mind that - some people do! Overall I do think there’s potential so I’ll be trying again :)

A beautiful Mexican café with stunning murals and a welcoming atmosphere. The staff is very friendly. My only suggestion would be to speed up the service a bit, since many customers are on their way to work or daily activities and every minute matters. Other than that, the place is excellent.

Their brown sugar shaken espresso was to die for! Not as many outlets as I’d hoped but seating was very comfortable, accessible and super cute!
