What a hidden treasure! Parking is on the street and may be an issue, but I was lucky and found one right in front. If you don't look for it, you'll miss it! It's right before the bridge. It's in a residents house, but the set up was nice and local. I was unsure what to get, so I asked what should I get? They said the Viva Latte and I got that. Very friendly and nice service! The coffee I got was delicious! I'm lactose and was pleasantly pleased of their oat milk option! Wish they had commuter hours, like early morning so I could get a cup before work, but I was lucky to be free today and grab a cup. I plan to go back again! read more

Just updating my review as I finally scored the arroz con leche latte. Momma makes the arroz con leche with real piloncillo and canela sticks - no powder mixture is used. This is definitely a must try and it was worth the wait. Got the large because of course I needed the large and the "no coffee" taste issue was resolved (I kept an eye on coffee boy lol). In addition, I also got myself a mazapán latte because I already told ya'll how spectacular it is. Lastly, I took a pic of the inside of the burrito because you can't depart without grabbing one or more to accompany your coffee. I can't stress this enough, come see these folks for your morning jolt - your tastebuds won't be disappointed. read more

This coffee place is tucked into a residential area, but there's plenty of parking in front of it. It was my first time here and the staff gave me quick overview of their menu, lots of Mexican flavored options which was nice. I ended up getting the Lolita with oatmilk, and as someone who doesn't like overly sweet things, I thought this drink was spot on! I'm so glad I made this coffee stop on my commute this morning. read more

I had attempted to come to cafe niña a few times but there was never any parking. Today as I was driving around the area I found a parking spot and finally stoped by. I ordered the Viva latte and it was delicious, I'm so glad I ordered the large. The guy and the girl working there were so nice and friendly, it didn't take long to get our drinks and they have a cute little spot to sit and wait for your coffee or sit and enjoy your coffee there. I will definitely be back because I want to try the Spanish latte and the Lolita latte. read more

My most favorite coffee shop in LA County! This place is run by a family at their house in their front patio. It is literally the cutest place ever! They have a few chairs if you would like to sit and stay but for the most part since parking is all on the red, you need to order and go. Their drinks are all latin inspired. I have tried their Lolita latte, dulce de leche latte and mazapán latte. All were amazing and have a distinct difference. My favorite so far has been the Lolita latte because I love Maria's cookies and caramel. The family that runs this place is the sweetest and they have worked so hard to make their dreams come true. When you stop by make sure to tip them well! read more

I went there with my sister. We got the Vanilla Latte and the Mazapan latte. I always stick to my vanilla lol (anywhere I go) and I liked the flavor in this one. However, the mazapan was not what my sister expected. She said it didn't taste bad, but she was hoping it would taste different than other coffees she's had. She said it needed more of the mazapan taste. To her it tasted just like any other regular coffee. In my experience I liked mine :) as for service everyone was very friendly!

Their coffee is just as impressive--they roast their own beans, make their own café de olla syrup, and you can even buy their coffee beans to enjoy at home.

I ordered two lattes and one strawberry matcha, but the cashier entered my order incorrectly. When my drinks were handed to me, I realized they weren't what I had ordered. I let the employee know about the mistake, and while he remade the drinks, both the cashier and the employee handing out the drinks were rude and came across as if they didn't want to be there. Mistakes happen, and I understand that. What was disappointing was the poor attitude and lack of customer service. A friendly apology or a positive interaction would have made a big difference. I genuinely enjoy the drinks here, which is why I keep coming back. However, if guests are going to be treated with this kind of attitude, it makes me question whether I want to return. I hope management addresses this because the quality of the drinks deserves customer service that matches.

Several tables, a small bar with a few seats, and a large round bench offer a decent amount of seating. I got free parking on the road after 7, but otherwise the neighborhood proves a struggle. The strawberry matcha duo- impeccable top to bottom. They use a very thick matcha cream on top, the matcha drink is rich and not watery; the almond milk didn't overpower; the strawberry puree was delicious with small chunks & tasted fresh, not artificial. I currently live in Japan- Rok knows how to do this right. (Don't tell anyone I think Roc does them better) Will absolutely come back many times.

Ordering the pancakes are a no brainer - they are light, fluffy, and jiggly in all the right ways. I've tried the Matcha, Fruit, and Mango pancakes and they are all amazing. I don't have a favorite because they are all so tasty. I also recently tried the Japanese Style Mushroom & Bacon Noodles and I can't wait to go back soon and order them again. The bacon was sliced in fatty little chunks and complemented the mushrooms and noodles. I highly recommend this dish. Parking here is all street parking and can be difficult especially on the weekends. Also be aware that they recently blew up on viral social media videos and it has caused their waits to be extra long and unpredictable. When I came they told me and my party 45 mins and it took 2.5 hours...I was with a friend from out of town so we waited cause I wanted them to try Takagi but the extra long wait was really annoying.

I've only ordered to-go through someone, so I can't speak for ambiance but it's an extremely busy lot, so if you live near & want to enjoy in the comfort of your own home, it may be best to plan ahead, bring ice box, take multiple ppl so one can order/pick up & other can stay in the car if there's no parking. We've tried the mango stinky rice sundae (must order), Thai tea lemonade- basically cha manaow (can skip), mango sticky rice drink (pretty good if you're looking for drink version of the sundae but can be off putting texture to some), Thai tea shaved ice (melted so fast so wasn't very enjoyable), pandan toast (a lil dry but good w gelato), & gelatos: mango (good staple), coconut milk butterfly pea (yummy/creamy perfect w mango sorbet), jasmine matcha (good choice), pandan milk (strong flavor creamy yummy), earl grey Thai tea (top 3), hojicha crunch (#1), & Thai tea coffee (eh ok just coffee). All the gelatos were shining stars it just depends on preference; very thick, flavorful, & creamy. I've tried 3x in the past 2 months but will be back for more~

Her coffee is incredible--I always get the sugar-free option, and it hits just the right note every time. But it's not just the coffee. Her energy is infectious. She's friendly, warm, and genuinely makes your day brighter with every cup. I honestly can't recommend her enough--she's just the best.

Another gem where the coffee beans shine through despite my love for sugary drinks. I got the Cookie Butter Latte and the Spanish Latte. Both drinks had a perfect balance of sweet to coffee flavor and the Spanish Latte also has a cinnamon flavor to it. The Cookie Butter Latte has a crumbled up cookie on top with some foam. Very good pairings on the flavor. I was highly caffeinated and very satisfied with the drinks. The ambiance is also very friendly and I just learned that if you ask, they can curate you something off the menu. I'm definitely going to take them up on this option next time. On another trip, I also had the Vacca Latte. This is made with cajeta from Mexico. Also highly recommend. If you go on a weekend, parking may be a challenge as it is in the middle of a neighborhood. Double park if you have to as long as you're taking the drink to go. If you go on a Friday, it is street cleaning day on the side of the street this vendor is located. The sweeper comes by at 1030 am and shortly before, parking enforcement does its own sweep of vehicles that are still parked. You have been warned. Highly recommend you try this vendor and get your coffee buzz on here. So far all of the drinks have been delish and I look forward to trying more on and off the menu items. Also, sometimes there is a fresh pressed juice vendor that will do a colab here. Check out his juices if you get the chance as they're very delish. Ask for a sample.

So if you're not an employee, or visitor, it's a little hard to come just for coffee as you have to find parking and then make it in here. Ok, so I love that they have portos baked goods, pie slices (not everyday), oatmeal for breakfast, overnight oats, sandwhiches for lunch, hot dogs, and much more. However, their menu changes daily, so if you really loved the overnight oats, they don't always have them. They also sometimes have croissants with ham and cheese that are delicious....BUT the only thing I don't like it that they only have halves and if you want an entire croissant you have to pay for two of them. Same thing for the sandwiches, they come in halves so if you want an entire one, you have to buy two. I love all their drinks, and staff is so awesome and friendly. I love their prepared black iced tea and I add some half and half and two pumps of vanilla sweetener and a sprinkle of cinnamon. The girls always tell me how that sounds amazing and how they're going to try out my drink, lol. They used to only take cash and now they take cards BUT you must spend $5, which is not hard to do. However, sometimes I just want my black tea and it is less than $5 so I buy a $5 gift card and save the rest for another time. I love this coffee shop so much and their items but I will rate them 4 stars because I don't like the idea of having to reach $5 (when sometimes my item is just $2.50), because they ONLY carry half croissants or sandwhiches, and because they don't have certain items daily. Other than that, great little place.

It was a quiet day for a Saturday morning, there weren't many customers yet. Unfortunately, our order was overlooked and it took checking in with the staff to start its preparation. They looked puzzled at first but eventually figured it out. The Esquite Toast was OK. The bread was overly toasted. The Breakfast Burrito was OK. It filled us up. The Iced Vanilla Latte tasted too milky, could hardly taste the espresso. The hibiscus lemonade was OK. When our order arrived, a staff member was apologetic and offered a baked good on the house. We weren't able to redeem the offer given the long line that grew after our meal. Not the best first impression but maybe they were having an off day?

The owners are always welcoming, friendly, and genuinely make every customer feel at home. Their customer service is exceptional and one of the main reasons my family and I keep coming back.

Their coffee is just as impressive--they roast their own beans, make their own café de olla syrup, and you can even buy their coffee beans to enjoy at home. Every cup tastes fresh, rich, and authentic. I also love the atmosphere. The artwork throughout the shop is beautiful and gives the space so much personality. It's the kind of place where you want to sit, relax, and enjoy your coffee. Another thing I appreciate is that their prices are more affordable than many other coffee shops, especially considering the quality of the food, coffee, and service.

If you're in Boyle Heights and looking for incredible coffee, delicious food, beautiful local art, fair prices, and some of the kindest people you'll ever meet, Picaresca is a must-visit.

I do recommend trying it if its your first time and want something not so heavy. I like the chilaquiles, its better when you add a fried egg. Soo yummy, savory, and flavorful! As for the coffee, if you like a pick me up... and a coffee that isn't sweet but strong. I suggest a refresher drink (tonics). The coffee is sugary and you unfortunately cant taste some of the coffee. If that's your preference, we'll i recommend. Besides that, the environment is lovely and art they have.
