"wonderful warm, cozy, semi-mid-century-modern interior decor with lots of plants and art on the walls + comfortable seating. great for catching up with friends or for settling down to read or do work. i ordered a cortado and the espresso was creamy, rich, and smooth, as well as not too acidic, which is how i prefer my espresso. learned about the quality espresso machine (gaggia milano) as well as where the owner Jerry sources many of his products. had a great time chatting with him and another regular, and am excited to return!"

"Contrary to the name, it's a great place to sit. Jerry has done a great job with the space he has. The coffee price is great too. It's about half what other coffee shops charge, but I'd argue a fair price. 50mb download not super fast but fast enough to work I'd say. Great parking outside and they had a table set up outside."

"El Cafe is a hidden gem that every coffee lover should visit! From the moment you walk in, the inviting aroma of freshly brewed coffee welcomes you. The owner Jerry is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about their craft, always ready to recommend something special."

"we loved it here!! the staff were all super friendly and the coffee gave me a great buzz! we had the avocado toast which was filling and tasty. would recommend to anyone looking for a homey, welcoming, and locally owned coffee shop! the paintings all around the shop were fabulous too"

"El Café is a touch of magic in the heart of Olmos Park. The coffee tastes magnificent and the atmosphere (mid-century modern Mexico with featured local artists) cant be beat!"
