The Spanish latte was really rich in flavor. My mom ordered the café de olla with half more regular coffee for it to be not so sweet, and it tasted so so good. The chilaquiles were fresh, spicy, and very tasty. The sandwich was good too but just different from what we saw was listed in the sandwich (which benefited us because we aren't a fan of breakfast sausage). Would definitely come back.

New local coffee shop that just opened. Friendly staff. I did not try their food, but noticed they have a good selection of breakfast food options. I'll be swinging by again.

Even though this little cafe was busy, the service was pretty fast for a Sunday morning. I heard about the chilaquiles here (I love me some chilaquiles, so I'm picky) and I really liked them here. I love the fact that they include an egg, meat l, and avocado, so they they don't charge extra for an upsell. I have tried their fraps in the past that a friend bought for me, so I already liked them! Everything tastes authentic. Will definitely come again! Pictured is the red chilaquiles plate. Nice and spicy.

First time here! I heard good things about this coffee place from TikTok and from people I know personally. The atmosphere is so cozy plus with the book club in the corner of the building brings it all together. I highly recommend this place, the staff was so nice and the drinks were 10/10.
