in love with this place, have been coming for a few years now and I’m so grateful it exists. The Xochi sandwich with slaw and turkey and crispy cheese is such a light but rich and acidic balanced go to of mine. They may not have pour over but their drip is some of the best drip out there, tastefully executed each time haven’t had a miss yet. They even have some seasonal unique one off that are always fun and tasty. The backyard space is so so peaceful, they may not allow dogs inside but the dogs are certainly hanging all around on the outside ! It’s hip, comfy, tasty, peaceful. the vibes are good.

Loved the atmosphere and the people. There is an outdoor patio for dogs and seating by the cafe. We got the espresso tonic and the earl grey iced latte with oat milk. Apparently on Saturdays there are a lot more dogs. the empanadas were warm and delicious. There are trash cans outside but the tubs for your cups and plates are inside the cafe.

Love this place! People here are extremely friendly, the inside has a good amount of local art, and plenty of seating. The drinks are yummy and the food is good. Seating / Outlets: There's less seating inside but there's still a lot of spots set up along the bar and the walls. A bunch of outlets in there as well. In the garden area, there's more seats in the open area as well as a shaded narrow spot toward the back that has some curtains at the end (this is where the outlets are outside). The narrow area has seats on high chairs next to a long table on the green wall as well as tables and seats on the opposite side. WiFi: My partner said WiFi here was pretty bad, a bunch of sites were apparently blocked like hotmail and Outlook. So if you work from home, maybe this is something to look out for! Drinks / Food: So the horchata latte was a bit too sweet for me but the latte art was beautiful and I enjoyed the flavor a lot. I think I'd just ask for less sugar the next time. I loved the espresso tonic a lot. As for food, the empanada was yummy (mushrooms are my fave and this was plentiful) but I didn't care for the sauce. The pastry was also pretty good, but not as flavorful as I expected. Still loved the crunch of the bread around it though. I definitely want to try more food here. So far I prefer drinks the most. But if I want a quick bite, prices were pretty reasonable to me and I'd easily buy them again! Overall: I mainly go to coffee shops to read for an hour or two. The coffee is good, the space is beautiful, the atmosphere is peaceful, and the service is great. A local spot worth supporting.
