Worth waiting in that line? For me personally, no, but it was a well made latte and quite smooth. Was it the best latte I have ever had? No but it was a good one and I think it would be easier to discern the true quality with a straight espresso shot or even a cappuccino. I like my lattes to have a little more character from the beans but well made. My favorite thing about it was actually the temperature. It wasn't crazy hot so you could actually enjoy it instantly. Some may want it hotter but for me it was ideal. They do have seasonal drinks including a pumpkin spice latte for fall and solid selection of non coffee drinks. The almond croissant I had (not baked by them I don't think) was good but a bit too crispy and over baked . I think I have been spoilt by the very excellent croissants of San Francisco and have yet to find an amazing one in the East Bay but it was clearly made with good butter and lots of almonds. Plenty of seating although every inside table was taken by people; some outside tables were open. They also have a solid selection of local beans for sale. Overall, a solid shop but don't come if you're in a hurry.

I've been coming to Tierra Mia since around 2016, and I'll never forget the first time I walked…read morethrough those doors. I immediately fell in love with the beautiful Latin-inspired decor, the photographs of coffee field workers, and the celebration of Latin culture throughout the space. As a Latina myself, seeing those beautiful faces and cultural roots represented honestly gave me goosebumps. There's something so special about walking into a coffee shop that feels like a little piece of your culture. And the building itself?! GORGEOUS. The high ceilings, chandeliers, and overall atmosphere make this location such a gem. Their iced Horchata Latte is UNMATCHED. Seriously, nobody does it quite like Tierra Mia. Their chai is delicious, the Mocha Mexicano is another favorite, and when I'm feeling a little extra, the Horchata Frappé always hits the spot! My ONLY little wish? The pastries. I know they source them from Starter Bakery, which is fine although I'm not a fan of, but I'd LOVE to see them partner with somewhere like Firebrand or Fournée (check out my Fournée review, LOL) or even bake in-house someday. Just a personal preference! But honestly, that's such a small thing compared to how much I love this place. Nearly a decade later, I still get excited to stop in, grab my coffee, and enjoy the atmosphere. Tierra Mia, you will forever have a special place in my heart. An easy 5 stars!

I decided to soldier on to my destination in spite of that, and stopped by Tierra Mia coffee for some water, ice, and napkins. They were actually out of bottled water. The young lady helping me was doing her best to make sure I had some comfort in spite of my stubbornness. (Because real talk: I should have just turned around and gone home.) I made sure to get her name, and wrote a compliment to management. Sadly, I don't think they check that inbox. That message is unanswered weeks later. Beyond me tripping and falling, the rest refers to other times I've been there. The location is great. It's at Broadway and 19th next to the BART station. Their drinks are good. The building is older, and the table layout is good for the space. Not a lot of plugs. The WiFi could be better, but those are tells that they don't really want customers camping out for too long. Makes sense. They're literally next to a transit hub, and there is another cafe steps away where you can grab food and beverage and camp out.
