Found this spot on Google because I wanted coffee. Figured I would grab a bite to eat while there since I could see a baked good windows prep. Walking in, it's an adorable spot, but I didn't know it was a mini restaurant. Being that the name was Cafe, I assumed coffee and small edible items. While I stood under one sign (order here), I wasn't seen or addressed by staff. I looked up and saw another "order here" sign and moved under that one. Within a moment or two, I was finally asked what I would like to order. They were pleasant and friendly. *although the coffee I ordered was not what I expected. (It was a mini cup - I'm assuming it was due to the "name of the drink"). Yes, I asked what the coffee was "Cortado", not knowing it was a mini drink. They told me the ingredients, but, no warning on the size of the drink. I will say, it tasted good. Just wished for a regular cup. Being that this was my 1st time at the establishment, I was not aware about the other "items" you could get and not until I got my baked goods, were the menus placed on the counter. Bummer, cause I would have ordered something different. So, altogether the place was quaint and adorable, for 1st timers, not familiar with their menus, (and no signs present when you look up - the monitors only show the coffee and drinks), it might be better for staff to inform guests of full available menu.

Got a berry banana Nutella crepe and a cheese and turkey crepe with two special coffees. Crepes were filled pretty well and coffee was good. Just not a lot of places to sit and it gets pretty busy sometimes. Went at like 11 on a Saturday and immediately after it got busy so we were lucky to grab a seat. Would have been 5 stars but the total was around 50 so it's on the pricey side

I absolutely love this place. I've brought my friends, siblings, husband and parents to their food because of how great it tastes. I stop by for some coffee and treats every now and then as well. Their tres leches is delicious paired with an iced abuelita mocha. The service is great as well!

Celebrated my Bestie and my birthday together. The food was one of the freshest I have experienced. To say we were FULLY invested while scarfing down their tostadas and cilantro salad (also... a mocha and vanilla latte) is an absolute understatement!

It was our first time coming here. The breakfast chorizo plate we got was really good and so was the coffee. The workers were also really nice.
