We have passed this cute coffee place on the numerous trips we do for the various wineries in the area. So we decided today to stop by on the way home. The place just opened but yet we were greeted by the owners warmly. The husband and wife duo treated us like family. We waited 5 minutes for fresh coffee to be brewed and it was good! I only needed to add a dash of sugar and a swirl of milk. The coffee did not have a bitter aftertaste. Their pastries is so good too! We wanted to wait for the fresh tortillas but we had to hit the road. For sure on the next visit, I will have my fresh handmade tortillas with their coffee. This is not a frou frou coffee place. This place offers fresh brewed coffee and it's simple and basic but good. A definite must try when you are in the are and need a good cup of joe.

I hate the cliche term everyone uses now, "hidden gem," but this place is a bit hidden and a pleasant surprise. It's got a nice, rustic, modern feel. It's super busy with a team behind the counter. Both times I ordered the maple and salt latte, with whole milk. The flavor was unique and different. Good stuff. The young lady behind the counter was super pleasant to talk to. I didn't catch her name, but then I never do. She mentioned she has spent time in LA and helped me figure out which whole-bean coffee to buy for espresso. I wish I had let her fine-grind the beans for me. My coffee grinder nearly caught on fire trying to get it fine enough. Anyway, blah blah blah. The place is great. If you're there, get it.

Everyone's food was delicious. Pancakes are awesome, I had recommend the Hungry Man breakfast sandwich as well if you're up to the challenge. They use homemade biscuits for the bread, made a huge difference. Beware large portions abound. Also save room for their apple pie and huge cinnamon roll. Music was pretty contemporary and relaxing, to my surprise. Only negative thing I say was the lack of functioning air conditioners as the room is large and it was very hot. Although a cool breeze would come through the large windows once we ask they be opened. All in all, great breakfast place, a real surprise to us .

As a professional level barista that's been to top coffee houses across the world - from Vienna to Paris, Sydney, Seattle and all parts in between - Xcaanda is legit and competes with the best I've ever been to. From the moment you step up to the bar, it's clear they take espresso seriously -- not performatively, but with genuine technical mastery. Their setup alone tells the story. A Sanremo espresso machine anchors the bar, flanked by two Mahkong grinders and an almost comically impressive lineup of four Acaia scales. You rarely see that many even in competition training labs. Every dose, every yield, every add‑in -- even cocoa -- is weighed with intention. Consistency isn't a goal here; it's a religion. The baristas back that gear with skill. Numerous awards and training certificates line the space, and you can taste that expertise in the cup. Their espresso is clean, balanced, and confidently extracted. Milk drinks are textured with care, and their latte lineup is one of the most creative in Baja. They offer three distinct mochas, each built around Oaxacan chocolate or cacao, and each with its own flavor architecture. It's rare to see a café treat chocolate with the same respect as coffee, but Xcaanda does. Craft touches elevate the experience even further. One drink arrived crowned with a thin orange slice, caramelized to order with a hand torch -- a small flourish that signals a bar focused on sensory detail, not just beverage assembly. The menu is extensive, thoughtful, and clearly shaped by passion. If there's a limitation, it's the small selection of sweets, but that feels more like a deliberate choice than a gap. Their energy is directed toward beverage excellence, and it shows. Overall, Xcaanda is top‑tier -- one of the best cafés I've visited anywhere. Precision, creativity, and genuine craft come together in a way that makes every drink feel intentional. If you care about espresso, this is a must‑visit.
