    Lemon Americano.  It's addictive
    Lorraine S.

    I've been coming here since day one and I always am too excited to take a pic of these delicious empanadas. I got all 3 varieties and all are good. What sets them apart from other places is their flakey baked crust ! It had a nice buttery taste without grease. You won't feel regrets after eating them. But the other day I was introduced to something I cant stop thinking about nor telling everyone it even exists. It's the Lemon Americano here. I was intrigued just by the name so I enquired about the ingredients. She said "it's like a homemade lemonade with shots of espresso ". Sounds kinda refreshing so I took a shot. Man. It was love at first sip ! Wow !! Picture an Arnold Palmer but with coffee. You'd never guess how delicious this combo is until you try it. I never seen it offered anywhere and it seems the woman that owns and runs cafe La Fe makes her's with real lemon syrup. Bc when I tried to replicate it by ordering a lemonade from a coffee shop with a shot of expresso it just wasn't as good. Also, it does help Cafe La Fe uses good espresso! Get it with an empanada on a warm day and enjoy the seating outside or even inside. You won't regret it !

    Amazing drinks and amazing customer service , and very fairly priced the vibe was also very nice

    i would drive back to the city just for this yummy homemade pastry. I was there 2 weeks ago and think about how tender the dough and flavorful the filling tasted!

    Cafe La Fe serves a variety of coffee drinks, juices, and savory eats. fairly new spot to the neighborhood. stopped by bc i wanted a snack for a long walk. ordered a chicken empanada which is ample but priced accordingly. the chicken filling was seasoned well and hit the spot as it was just the right amount of food. definitely glad i stopped for an empanada as opposed to just grabbing a bag of chips or candy. the interior is clean and pleasant--with a little bit of space of seating. service was fast and pleasant.

    I found this place hidden on a small street and it was so worth going to! It's such a cute cafe, as soon as you enter the smell of coffee and pasteries greet you. The service was pretty quick, no more than 5 minutes to wait. I loved the specialty Ruth coffee, it was made with vanilla and caramel

    The David - 3 shots of expresso & chai!

    I'm lucky to have found this place as it will definitely be my new coffee, latte, breakfast, and empanada place whenever I am in the area! The empanadas are what brought us to this place and they are out of this world delicious - easily the best I've ever had. So much so that we went back three days in a row so I could take some home to Philly with me. We've had all three kinds of empanadas and they are all good. We tried the coffee and being a chai lover, we went with the "David" which has 3 shots of expresso and chai and it was absolutely the best. Woke us right up, which is what we needed! We've also tried the 'deluxe' coffee place right next door and honestly Cafe La Fe's lattes were better AND less expensive - the La Colombe coffee she uses is delicious. The owner is a sweetheart and you can tell wants to make her customers happy and innovate new ideas of things to offer. She is a talented cook (as evidence by these awesome empanadas) and can't wait to see what she comes with next!

    Small shop, great service, excellent drinks, & tasty treats!…read more Of the two drinks, the black sesame latte was by far one of the best lattes I've had in a while (granted I have had a latte in a while...). If texture doesn't bother you (liberal amount of black sesame!), I'd suggest getting this latte (10/10). Both pastries were great in their own right. For my second matcha of the day, this matcha was like your everyday/average matcha. Can't go wrong, but it wasn't mind-blowing. If you're in the Theatre District, I'd definitely recommend popping in for a drink & a treat!

I had seen their cute pastries online and wanted to check them out. We got the items above and a few coffees. The cakes are cute. Tho not as light and fluffy as I was expecting. I thought they'd be more like the asian bakeries we have back in SF. Not as sweet as american desserts, but it was kinda in between. The egg sandwich I really wanted to like since I've been craving one. But the it was sooo dry. Definitely needed more mayo. And the bread wasn't very fluffy either. Cute spot if you want cute desserts. Tho I think they are more geared towards posting on socials. REVIEW #3999

There is some counter space, but mainly for standing purposes. I ordered a standard Iced Matcha Latte with Oat Milk ($7.35) and my friend got her usual Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte ($8). Docking 1/2 point bc the matcha is pre-made. I'm a fan of the whisking process bc I do believe there's a craft to matcha overall. Surprisingly, my drink tasted fine and my bev was a good color, so I was pleasantly happy. We waited less than 10 min for a table to open up, but you have to be there at the right time, otherwise you prob just grab your drink + go. Overall, glad I tried Kijitora. It's not my first matcha choice, but it was decent for a standard matcha latte. Their specialty matcha drinks look to have mixed reviews, but I'm personally not a fan of sweet drinks.

The tote bags were so cute but they were kind of pricey in my opinion. A standard beige Kijitora bag was priced for $30 each! They had several designs for sale. I was just busy checking out the cool cat merchandise while I was waiting in the long line to purchase the matcha drinks. The line was exceptionally long! It was worth the hype though! When I was my turn, I got an iced strawberry matcha latte and an iced mango matcha latte. It was so pretty when I got them. The mango and strawberry paste were sitting at the bottom of the matcha latte. I had to stir and mix the fruits with the whole drink. Surprisingly it was not sweet at all and was just right! They made it in a way that wanted you to crave more of it. It was very addicting. I did not get onigiris this time but will be sure to get some next time I'm here. They were just $4 each for miso salmon, tuna mayo, mentaiko cod roe, sukiyaki beef, and chashu pork. What a decent price for one onigiri! I would definitely be sure to get the miso salmon next time I'm here. The place was very cute with nice little tables for individuals. The place was very cozy with lots of sunlight coming in. Very modern with plants all around. It was so loud with people talking over each other. There were too many people on a Sunday afternoon so I had to walk around or cut through people to get my way. It was that crowded. I also didn't expect this place to be on the second floor and the stairs to be that steep. It was hectic carrying my stroller upstairs. Luckily someone helped me get down! The stairs are very narrow so I had to hold onto the rail. It was not ergonomically friendly at all.
