I give Amazonia Cafe high marks because they score on all three. I've been working my way through the specialty coffee menu, and they've all been good. Midnight Passion, Matto Grosso, and Rose Wood were especially good. I've been getting the breakfast burritos, and they are all good. Sausage and Bacon is the best. Lastly, they've always been very friendly. If they are not busy, they engage in conversation, which might be the main reason I keep coming back. I go most often after 11:00, and the same lady seems to be there, and she's got a great personality. Fun to talk to!

My personal favorite are the Tostilocos, esquites, conchas con fresas, and Mexican latte. I can't tell you how many other coffee shops I've been to that call it theirs a Mexican latte by just sprinkling some cinnamon (and maybe some Cayenne). Those who know, know, the abuelita flavor - and this here is the genuine article. Their menu is very expansive, so I'm sure everyone can find something for them. They also sell cute cups, along with offerings for kids. But my favorite part is that they also sell fresh tamales. They're the best tamales I've had in this area. I believe they usually have chicken or rajas (cheese with jalapeño). We were vegetarian for a while, and not every Mexican shop has cheese tamales, so this place is definitely a diamond in the rough. I'm always looking for savings, and they also have a frequent buyer program by using your phone number. You can accumulate points for free or discounted beverages. One thing I will mention is that sometimes there can be a line, so please plan accordingly. The quality of the items you receive is up there, and it takes time to make these creations.
