“Cute little spot serving a mix of American and Mexican food.”
Cute little spot serving a mix of American and Mexican food. They have tamales and tortas along with sandwiches. I grabbed a chicken tamale and an iced coffee and they both tasted great. Limited seating inside but it is quite cozy.

Grabbed an iced coffee before my kids’ piano lesson, $5 after tip. Love these mom and pop places with their multi functionality and decor. Always a plus that they offer affogato.

“Lovely, colorful cafe.”
Lovely, colorful cafe! Hot chocolate and muffin were delicious and very affordable. There are neighborhood flyers and unique goods for sale. It feels like you’re part of the neighborhood while you’re there. Very welcoming staff. There was someone studying while I was there; great spot for getting work done or catching up with friends. Even got a cute note on my drink sleeve! Will definitely be recommending and returning.

“Great breakfast sandwhich, good coffee, good tamales.”
Great breakfast sandwhich, good coffee, good tamales. I'm looking forward to returning. Fun mexican novelties for sale, too. It's still a great place and value. Two coffees and two breakfast sandwiches were under $20, while other independent coffee shops in the area were more like $30 Service is always great with a clean environment.

“These drinks (in pictures) are SO GOOD.”
These drinks (in pictures) are SO GOOD. I come here to work and it's my favorite cafe in the area. The prices are reasonable but the qualities of the drinks and food here are better than most cafes. It's always so quiet but full of positive energy. Their paninis are great as well though it can be inconsistent sometimes depending on who's cooking.
