They are not welcoming to all!! I worked there for 5 months and was treated unfairly and denied my paystubs and was not paid on time till my 4th month there. I'm on disability and have to show Social security, my paystubs they knew this from the beginning.

A Sanctuary of Warmth and Community – Café Quetzal
There are places in the world that remind you what it means to belong. Café Quetzal is one of them. Step inside, and the chaos of the outside world fades into the background—replaced by the rich aroma of fresh coffee, the hum of friendly conversation, and the warmth of a space built on inclusivity and connection.
The first thing you notice is the sense of welcome. A pride flag waves gently in the window, a symbol of the café’s unwavering commitment to community, acceptance, and love. It’s a space where all are embraced, where laughter spills across tables, and where a simple cup of coffee feels like an act of kindness.
Outside, the world is unpredictable—sometimes overwhelming, sometimes absurd, like the shadow of a dinosaur stretching across the pavement. But inside, there is sanctuary. Here, you are met with smiling faces, vibrant art, and the kind of small but significant comforts that make you feel at home. Whether you’re here for a quiet moment of reflection, deep conversation, or just a really good cup of coffee, Café Quetzal delivers on every level.
It’s more than a coffee shop. It’s a refuge. A place where warmth, love, and hope are always on the menu.
Always consistently good, service, food, coffee, atmosphere! Great place to take a breath & center yourself any time of the day!

I usually tip at places, even if I'm ordering at a counter like this, so it's not that I am anti-tipping. However, when I paid for my quiche the machine went straight to ask me how I would like my receipt and did not ask if I would like to tip. I thought at the time it was a little odd but didn't think too much of it. However, later after I left I looked at my receipt and was surprised to see a tip had been added on without my authorization. It wouldn't have been so bad if it was a standard 15% tip, but this was 30%! My order was only $4.20 so it's not like it was a lot of money, but it's the principal of being charged a 30% tip that I didn't authorize. On top of that, this was the saddest piece of quiche I've ever seen. It was so thin, less than a quarter of an inch thick. I get that eggs are expensive right now but I had to examine it to see if there were even eggs in it. I won't be back.
