Lemon gals,

2450 Road 20, San Pablo, CA 94806

"Randomly stumbled across this place while in the area and looking for coffee. They're inside the community center which is a little confusing but only took a moment to realize. The coffee was excellent, I got the traditional olle with some pumpkin foam on top and both elements were ABSOLUTELY on point. This is basically what a horchata latte from any other place is striving to be but will never reach. The barista even explained the traditional vs non traditional prep for olle which I never knew about. The lemonades are excellent too, and remind me a lot of those little Italian ice frozen cups in flavor Their breakfast food items are good too, although I do wish they had a little extra spice variety like possibly cilantro thrown in Tried the cinnamon rolls and a banana cream cheesecake, both great. The icing on the cinnamon roll is quite creme cheese forward but super fluffy in texture I don't know when I'll be in San Pablo next but I got this place bookmark"

"So glad I found this spot. I love lemonade but often times cafes don't make them in house or use heavy sugar if they do. Here you can find delicious lemonade that isn't ridiculously sweet, yet still tasty! They also have pastries they make and so far I've only tried the vanilla tres leches cupcake, but it was the bombbb. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the Richmond/San Pablo area."

"This place is incredible! Inside a community center, but they have the best food and desserts! The concha was fantastic, and the Gordita was TO DIE FOR. It was so soft and savory and a little spicy - perfection for $3.50. Great Latinx-themed coffee beverages but a little sweet for my tastes. It’s the food and desserts for me that shine here!"

"Reward yourself and try the birria nachos (Fridays only) which are topped shredded beef. It is flavorful, brothy, spicy, crunchy, cheesy, and flawless. I had it with everything. Just spicy enough to leave your mouth with a slow burn. I had to use a fork and eat it fast before the textures got lost with time. Don't think about sharing one order. You won't want to. I also ordered the Olla latte with 2% milk, even though I'm not a latte drinker. Not too sweet. Chocolatey goodness with a cinnamon kick. Rich and indulgent. Lastly, i got a set of pastries. The standout was the smores brownie which was dense, chewy and crunchy, a textural delight. This is the best Friday! A hidden gem, run by two nice women, inside the community center with easy parking. A quiet oasis and a hidden gem...for now."

"What an unexpected gem! The desserts looked tempting, but I had just had some candy on the way there to meet a friend for tea. This place also serves up gorditas M-H and have birria nachos on Fridays. I had a ginger berry tea which was delicious! But I’m fixin’ to come back here and try each dessert, starting with those tres leches cupcakes! We sat outside on a sunny day on tables near the yard. You never would have known we were in the middle of San Pablo. What a wonderful quiet respite in the middle of this busy town! Inside a middle school no less!"
