"Malpa is a lovely neighborhood cafe with an amazing selection of coffee, teas, sandwiches, and pastries. My husband and I live in the area and we happened to see a social media post about the business, so we walked over to try it. The owner was very welcoming and we had a great experience. We will definitely be coming back!"
"Such a lovely cafe with great vibes and beautiful artwork. The lady at the counter recommended the porchetta sandwich when I asked for help and it was absolutely delicious! The drinks, food, and atmosphere were excellent, and the staff was super friendly. Highly recommend!"
"Tried this place for the first time following some good online reviews and couldn't agree more. Hoping for decaf but they happened to have run out this time. I got the iced strawberry matcha latte instead with almond milk. They use real fruit puree that gives just a hint of sweetness which I prefer & enjoyed very much. I also tried the mini sfogliatelle, which was one of the best I've had. The pastry layers were perfectly crunchy & the sweet ricotta cheese filling has the perfect level of sweetness to balance the buttery pastry flakes. They also have sandwiches for lunch, teas & a good selection of coffee beans from different regions with various flavor notes. Service is very warm but still a tad slow (seems to me that they're still figuring out the right pacing between taking orders & making the drinks). The inside decor & lighting offer a very cozy but airy feel. This place has a great promise to be a charming place to chill, connect & a highly welcome new addition to the neighborhood. I sincerely hope this place thrives. I, for one, am looking forward to returning."
