What People Are Saying
from Google"Get here early! They get packed during the weekends. This cafe is very creative. They have some local history posted on the walls as well as intentional decorations. You can tell the owners care a lot about how their business space makes you feel as you come in. My fiancé and I ordered the chilaquiles and they were very delicious!! The green sauce was the perfect amount of spiciness. I have to admit the drinks are my favorite. The seasonal drink menu is where it’s at!! I got the Dulce Otoño and it’s now my favorite drink. Thank you 1997."
"I had planned to try this place when I saw it posted on my friends story. Nice little shop with a local feel. Tried multiple food items and coffees as well. Matcha with the strawberry foam, caramel mocha, both iced. Both good, matcha with the strawberry foam was different but good. Nice little mix. Started with the fench toast concha and the breakfast bagel. Both so good! Bagel had the jalapeño sour cream with eggs, cheese, and we got it with bacon. You forgot how something so simple can taste so good. The French toast concha was delicious too. Sweet, light toasted with the fresh fruit and light whip cream. We actually ended up trying the chilaquiles. Figured we were there already and they were the most popular item. Based on the other reviews and from the hostess told us they normally run out. Must have been my lucky day because she brought out to bowls of them (I had asked for one) wasn't even mad though. Cleaned my, and my wife's, plate. It is a small spot with limited seating but it was cleared when I went with the occasional coffee orders and some called in orders too."
"The cutest, love their spin on latino & mainstream drinks. Love the esthetic inside and the food is simple and yummy. Arrive early cuz they get busy."
"Customer service always great drink items and food are very good. Must try Chilaquiles verdes and everything on the menu is great. The owners are very nice"
"Great coffee and great food. I’ve had 2 really good experiences and 1 not so positive. In the drive thru, I feel it’s super unprofessional to have a 5 minute personal conversation with your friends after the order has been completed. Especially considering other customers are queued up behind them. I’m going to keep supporting this establishment as I like it and want it to succeed. But I won’t be going back on Saturdays. Other days have more professional staff on duty and that are great representatives of the establishment."
