What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"Muy rico! I ordered the Mocha and then the Cortadita. The latter was so good! Mocha was great too. Highly recommend."
"Had their horchata latte and ham sandwich, and it was amazing! And for a great price too. Highly recommend."
"Always be open minded to new things or in this case old classics. Simple Cafe de Olla and a Go bananas crepe make the best snack for a tired mind and body in search of extra vitality for the extra shift at work. Cafe de Olla served perfectly in a clay cup. The aroma is strong but the taste does not disappoint. Every note and hint of cinnamon is a rather wonderful delight coming as you take in your first sip and notice the complex taste of harmony between cinnamon and coffee, not too sweet, not too bitter. Just perfect. The Crepe called Go Bananas, borrows from many flavors to deliver a very sweet dessert were it not accompanied with the coffee it would have been overwhelming by the fourth bite. This the importance of pairing the right food with the right drink. Very clean and nice little coffee shop. I believe the owner was serving that night, he was very helpful explaining with detail the differences in the menu and was also very accommodating since it was almost closing time."
"The Cafe de la olla was super smooth and delicious! Everything is fresh and very tempting. Plus, they make home made ice cream! Check out my posted video of Mom and Pop of the owners freezing the cream into ice cream by hand!"
"I saw and read the reviews before I went. I was not disappointed. The strawberry cream crepe was delicious. The tres Leche latte was perfect; not too sweet. Next time I'm in Maywood, I'm returning to El Cafecito."
"I had an early errand in Maywood and happen to pass by this small coffee shop! Decided to stop by and order the horchata Iced Latte and was definitely worth..."
