Food was good. Service was great and the drinks were so cute. It’s a small cafe but it’s nice that the workers make it welcoming. Our server was very talkative and attentive. We even stayed longer than we intended too🤗😅We will definitely be back!

Ordered a ube latte with almond milk with 3 shots of espresso and it was so bad. I didn’t taste the coffee at all it was more like ice cold milk. So upsetting!

Visited for the first time and was not dissapointed. Great food and service! Waitress was friendly and helfpul. Had the red posole with flautas on side and a cafe de olla iced coffee with caramel cold foam. Give it a try!

visited with a friend and was very disappointed with quality of the drinks. coffee tasted bitter/cheap and horchata was a weird texture with no authentic flavor. quesadilla was overcooked and the salsa/sour cream was genuinely disgusting. would not recommend, take your money somewhere better and more authentic <3

Mi Corazon Cafe is a Complete Scam — Don’t Walk, RUN Away from This Place

Let me save you the time, money, and sanity — Mi Corazon Cafe is hands down the worst excuse for a restaurant I’ve ever had the misfortune of stepping into. The food was downright disgusting — soggy, flavorless slop that tasted like it had been reheated from last week’s trash. Nothing was fresh, nothing had any seasoning, and honestly, I’ve had better meals from a vending machine. Every plate was a sad, overpriced joke — small portions thrown together without a shred of care or effort.

And speaking of overpriced, the audacity of this place is unreal. They charge fine dining prices for food that wouldn’t even pass at a sketchy food truck. You’ll drop a ridiculous amount of money just to leave hungry, pissed off, and wondering why you didn’t just eat at home.

But the cherry on top? The service — or should I say the complete lack of it. The server wasn’t rude, but they may as well have not existed. We sat there waiting forever just for water, couldn’t get refills if our lives depended on it, and it was like pulling teeth to get anyone’s attention. We were basically invisible. And when the food finally showed up — surprise — it was wrong, and nobody cared enough to fix it.

And here’s where this place officially lost every shred of respect: THEY ADDED A TIP TO THE CHECK WITHOUT ASKING. No heads-up, no mention of it — just sneakily tacked on a fat gratuity like we owed them for the privilege of being ignored and served garbage. Are you kidding me? You screw up the food, vanish for the whole meal, and then force a tip on top of your robbery? Absolutely unacceptable.

Mi Corazon Cafe is a scam operation. Period. Trash food, nonexistent service, and shady business practices. I will NEVER set foot in that place again and I’m telling everyone I know to avoid it like the plague. Do yourself a favor — stay far away from this place unless you enjoy wasting money and being disrespected.

Mexican inspired food and design from their Abuelita. Food was delicious and definitely coming back to try more of what’s on the menu. I ordered an horchata matcha, Mexican Mocha and a breakfast Panini! Highly recommend this location for any time of the day. They also had great service. Spoke with the owner and she was answering any questions I had. Love love love! 🫶🏼

CASH ONLY

Got influenced by tiktok and once again disappointed. The drinks do not look anything like what they promote. The coffee was okay, I ordered a mazapan latte and I could rarely taste the mazapan. I ordered chilaquiles divorciados, they were really dry no sauce. Honestly, the hype isn't worth it. Fyi it’s cash only and be patient for the wait times on your food.

Saw mixed reviews but to be honest this place has a cozy, cute atmosphere. The drinks were amazing, recommend the horchata latte. The food was tasty no complaints. It’s small but definitely worth a visit!

Brought my wife here, we’ve been wanting to come to eat here for a while… restaurant was nearly empty, our food took an hour to get here, we ordered a steak and chicken panini, and got served 2 tortas lol, check came out to $60 with our drinks included… owner apologized offered a free dessert, we said no, so she took $10 off our check, some sort of integrity I guess. In the end I felt very disappointed disrespected and felt robbed. DO NOT COME HERE

Went for brunch with my bestie. Great food and coffee, reasonable prices, and colorful atmosphere. Will be coming back.

Good pozole rojo and tortas and great variety of unique drinks. CASH ONLY and that's the biggest issue with this place (horchata latte, strawberry smoothie, Thai tea horchata mazapan topping

The place was incredibly overhyped and failed to live up to expectations. What was supposed to be impressive ended up feeling underwhelming and ordinary.

Most delicious breakfast spot I’ve been to in a while. Authentic Mexican food ❤️
