"coffee is a solid 10 ! the atmosphere feels really chill & just very welcoming ! The aesthetic is beautiful & just a feel of home tbh! I got the cafe de olla! Loved! it is not too sweet & not too strong."

"I stopped by Sunday morning with my family for some coffee and snacks. We got there around 11am and the parking lot was pretty empty. There was one person on his laptop, one couple ahead of us and our group. It looks like there was only one person working at first but I think a second came to help after. We were patient as it's my understanding that they are still fairly new. We wanted to come support a local business instead of the bigger well known coffee chain. I will say, it took a while to place our order but the cashier/barista was so incredibly kind. There's lots of seating inside and outside as well. I also want to point out that it's all very reasonably priced. My kids and I really enjoyed the pizza bagels and I thought my iced vanilla latte was perfect. Not too sweet. Made just right. My husband's eggnog latte was definitely really sweet, maybe even overly sweet but the vanilla latte was perfect. I highly recommend that one. It's a really cute vibe inside. It feels homey with some cool decor. Lots to look at and a great playlist. It took about half an hour for our drinks and food order and we weren't in a rush but I would definitely come here if you're looking for a relaxed and laid back vibe."

"Today I learned that the old tamaleria was replaced by a new coffee shop. The tamaleria was always hit or miss but I’m so glad to have found a new coffee shop in our community that’s Latino owned ! Pastries are from Homeboy Industries and also bomb af. Today Kate was helping me out and let her choose a drink for me. She gave me a refreshing hazelnut latte with vanilla cold foam and cinnamon powder on top. The drink was perfect for a hot day and that afternoon pick me up. Kate answered all my questions and was really cool to talk to. Overall, 5/5. I’ll miss the tamales that used to be sold here but I’m glad we have another Latino owned business taking their place"
