Cute coffee shop located in a little plaza with other cute shops and restaurants. My mocha was delicious. If they had larger than 12oz. hot I would’ve gone the larger route. My barista was a lovely, polite young lady. The atmosphere is quaint and peaceful. They have indoor and outdoor seating. I also ordered a chocolate concha and oatmeal cookie so I’ll update my review once I taste those. Totally recommend!

El ambiente es ideal para trabajar un rato en iPad o computadora. Las bebidas son bastante buenas y originales. Me gusta que tienen sus jarabes hechos desde cero por ellas mismas. Jay es una chica que hace repostería, sus postres son deliciosos y te complace en personalizar tu bebida si algo del menú no te convence. Es una chica muy atenta y servicial. Mi nuevo spot de café favorito del centro de la ciudad.

Small but cozy, the staff is great, the coffe delicious and the sweet bread was very tasty and fresh. All in all, it was perfect to sit down, relax and enjoy. They have connectors to plug electronic devices in case you want to come over and work.

Fortuitously we stumbled upon this charming and delicious coffee spot. It’s hidden from the road and even the parking lot, but don’t let that dissuade you from seeking out an amazing cup of joe. I highly recommend the Chocolate Oaxaqueño. Rich, chocolate, cinnamon… heaven in a cup. Paired it with a homemade pastry that I can best describe as Mexican Stroop Waffle. Thin homemade pastry (texture of a pie crust) with a goat milk caramel inside. Highly recommend. The interior is charming, clean and inviting. Indoor outdoor seating. Great ambiance. Wonderful service with a smile. Don’t miss this hidden gem!
