Woooow I haven't been wow'd by a coffee shop in a while. Was heading up to sac and needed a coffee. The exit right before the toll booth is where you need to go. Right when you walk in there is a case of delicious pastries and a menu with many specialty drinks. I was overwhelmed by the menu but the barista was very helpful in picking drinks and pastries. I got a hot Piloncillo Latte with oat milk which was delightful. Not too sweet and perfectly foamy top and was delicious. My boyfriend got an iced Mexican vanilla latte and that was pretty good too. I did prefer my Piloncillo latte tho. For pastries I recommend the pineapple guava cheese roll. They remind me of Porto's but BETTER. It had a good balance of sweet and a slight tang from the pineapple. So good We also got the blue masa chocolate chip cookie which was also good. The masa gave the cookie a more crumbly texture and I swear the chocolate tasted a little like the abuelita hot chocolate. A good pick if you like chocolate The only thing I don't like about this place is the lids for their hot drinks since it's kinda hard to drink out of but aside from that they're awesome.
Stopped by on a whim searching for coffee, and found Calaca on our way to Benicia. The selection of coffees and baked goods looked so delicious on Yelp, we had to stop by. I ended up getting the guava coconut matcha - and I was blown away! This was so delicious, a dessert in a drink. I highly recommend getting this with coconut milk, it really deepens the flavor. My boyfriend got something off their coffee menu (sorry can't remember the name) but it was absolutely delicious as well! Nothing was overly sweet, so that was a huge plus for us. Really recommend stopping by, the baristas were all so friendly and kind to us!
Been wanting to check out Calaca for awhile and we finally made it! Their menu is very unique and pays homage to their Mexican roots. I got the cafe de olla w/added oat milk and tres leches cold foam and it was so good!!! I finished my cup real quick haha. I was very tempted to try it with banana cream cold foam as well, but we'll save that for the next time we come back! They have seasonal drinks every month so you can try something new and different! My bf didn't know what to get so I ordered him the Piloncillo Latte w/oat milk and he loved it! I had looked up what piloncillo was before, and it's brown sugar!!! Our go to is brown sugar shaken espresso, so this was something I knew he'd like! My sister wanted a banana matcha and I was afraid the banana cold foam would melt by the time we got home, but she said she could still taste it and she liked it! We came almost towards the end of closing, so there weren't a lot of pastries left, but we were able to try the almond lemon loaf and the berry tart? and both were delicious! The coffee shop is connected to a deli and an open community seating area, which provides a lot of seating! The barista was vey friendly and welcoming; they gave us cute stickers when we told them it was our first time here! Definitely come check them out! We don't usually go to Crockett, but I'll def be coming back again for Calaca and maybe visit the deli next door and other local businesses!
Stopped by this coffee shop in Crockett and really liked it. The inside has a fresh, modern feel and everything was clean and organized. The menu had some Hispanic-inspired flavors, which was a nice change. I got what I think was a horchata mocha with banana cold foam and that little addition made it so much better. It was seriously SO good. My friend ordered a matcha and liked hers too. They still had a few pastries left when we went in late morning/early afternoon, and the customer service was great. Overall, it was a really good experience and I'd definitely come back.
Delicious! Stopped here on a whim and was so glad I did. Very cute place, it's connected to a sandwich shop with plenty of seating. I ordered the Banana Cream Cafe de Olla, and it was delicious!
Calaca Coffee is hands down my favorite cafecito spot in the East Bay! I've been following these guys since they were doing random pop-ups in San Francisco at an art studio, and it has been so amazing watching them grow. So, when I heard they were opening a shop in the East Bay, I knew I had to support them! My sister and I still drive about 35 minutes just to get our Calaca fix and trust me, it's THAT good! Their coffee is so unique, and you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. My personal favorite is the Banana Crema Cafe de olla. I literally dream about it! It's SO good! They also sell their coffee beans and cold brew packs so you can enjoy their coffee at home, which is such a great option. The guys are always in great spirits and so welcoming. The shop itself is small, but it has such a cool vibe and feels like a place you want to hang out and enjoy your cafecito. They also have delicious pastries, but get there early because they sell out FAST! What I love most is that their drinks feel authentic and nostalgic. They have recipes that can transport you right back to your childhood or remind you of sitting with your abuelita enjoying a cafecito. If you haven't tried Calaca Coffee yet, THIS IS YOUR SIGN! It's a must-try for anyone who loves good coffee, unique recipes, and an authentic cafecito experience. We'll happily keep making that 35-minute drive!
Hidden gem in Crockett! Not a lot of Mexican coffee spots are here and I like how the barista went above and beyond to chat about Crockett. The drinks were made to perfection and can be a good spot to work remote. Additionally, there is a sandwich spot next door called Lucia which makes some really good sandwiches
On our way to Chico we didn't want Starbucks or Peet's so we looked for a coffee shop, I like the name so it was a yes for me! It was conveniently right off the freeway. A little treasure nestled in the little town of Crockett. We were quickly greeted we ordered 2 cappuccinos and 2 guava pastries. Its was pretty busy so we waited a little bit for our coffees. Looked at the bean to see they were locally roasted in Oakland CA another plus in my book. Our coffees were served with art which i truly appreciate. The coffee was robust and delicious. So happy we found this little gem.
Awesome coffee shop! This spot was recommended by a friend, and I was glad I stopped by! I ordered the cold brew, and it was very bold and strong, just how I like it! The service was friendly, and the ambiance is so cool! It has old school, warehouse kind of vibes, but with modern vibes as well. Very much the quintessential urban coffee shop, and I'll definitely be back!
Order at counter and sit yourself at the shared eating space. The guava dessert was soooo good but the peach crumble was super dry.
Come for the banana cream lattes and the blue corn chocolate chip cookies, stay for the cool intimate Mexican mom and pop coffee shop vibes. Such a lovely cafe in small town Crockett! Freshly baked Mexican treats, super friendly baristas, innovative beverages, cool swag, and now spacious ambiance with the expansion into the adjacent restaurant. They are also connected to my fave Lucia's craft sandwich spot. I hope they stick around- please come and support this awesome business!
Small, but what a great addition to Crockett and adding some flavor! They have a variety of options that I couldn't pick so I had the cashier just give me his favorite. It did not disappoint! They close at 2pm and their pastries were nearly gone by the time I came at 1030am. I love that this business is latin owned and their coffees have latin influence, not just your typical vanilla or caramel coffees. It's a shared space so I thought they had the whole dining area, but turns out to be Dukes which closes at 11am. The shared space is cool, you can grab breakfast at Dukes or a sandwich from Lucias and coffee at Calaca! It's a one stop shop! Definitely will return to try their matcha and banana foam!
I went here for the first time and was not disappointed! Inside has a nice vibe and plenty of seating. I had the lavender matcha and love it! I will be back!

I first want to say this isn't the first time I've been here and it will not be the last! It's a nice little spot situated in downtown Crockett near the C&H factory, but parking is a bit limited so I recommend coming early. Their coffee is always top notch, my partner and I got the banana crème Calaca cold brew and iced Piloncillo latte. Both drinks had amazing coffee flavors and just enough sweetness for both of our tastes. The barista was very welcoming upon our arrival and noticed we were even repeat customers. They even gave us free concha's! ( blueberry lavender and peach cobbler ) which was unexpected and very appreciated. We have been going to this shop since they announced their opening and have seen it grow into the amazing business that it is now! We are excited to continue to see it grow and blossom! read more
My friend and I popped in here because we wanted to do some photography and explore. We had both seen Calaca on IG and wanted to try it out. We came on a Saturday at around 10:30am, and it was packed! Because it was cold, I got a hot drink, the Xoco latte, and despite the wait, the drink was absolutely delicious! While I will say that the drink was absolutely worth it, and the guys were working as fast as they could, I'm not a fan of lines and next time will come earlier or later to miss the rush. After walking around a bit, it looked like the shop had quieted down, so I got another drink, the Piloncillo Latte, and again, absolutely delicious and great flavors! This place was so good, that I decided to drive out here after a Friday morning workout to try the iced Cafe De Olla latte, and added Oatchata foam. Again, can't say enough good things about the drinks. This time, they also had conchas, so I tried the blue maize one and it was perfection. One more thing that I'd like to add is that the guys working are so nice and it was a pleasure to chat with them and learn a bit more about their business. They are super welcoming and you can tell how invested and excited they are about their business! read more

Had a great experience checking out this charming little spot right off the I-80 corridor in Crockett, CA. We had seen it featured on TikTok and read several positive reviews, so we were excited to finally try it out. It's a small, Latino-owned coffee shop, and we were happy to support a local business. My child, my daughter's godmother, and I took our time going through the menu, which had a fantastic selection of drinks featuring traditional Mexican-style ingredients. I was genuinely impressed. The pastries also looked amazing and offered a great variety, though we ended up grabbing breakfast from the sandwich shop next door. The staff was super friendly and very attentive, which made the experience even better. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area and want something unique and welcoming. Came back a second time, it was another great experience! We tried some different varieties this time and it didn't disappoint! Check them out, they're a great place to get your hands on some great quality coffee. read more

Calaca coffee offers the best matcha I've ever had. I drove from Sacramento to experience this delectable drink that no other coffee shop offers the banana foam and strength of matcha sets the bar high for any matcha I will ever experience. The menu alone will take you to a straight to Mexico and have you drinking lattes with your abuelita. I am truly impressed with the thought that was put into this fine establishment. Let's talk about the owners, Jose and Christian are the most down to earth and friendly team. I had the pleasure of chatting with both of them during my visit! They show their dedication to the quality, cleanliness, and customer experience. I'll be back every time I cross the bridge! PS take a fun photo by their fun Luchador mural! read more

Cute little coffee shop. I had seen it advertised on TikTok and it was close to home. I wanted to support our local Latino business so met my friend there for a little coffee. I had the dulce de leche with banana cream. The coffee was delicious I didn't taste much banana and it could have been a bit hotter. But we shared a blue corn concha. Small but very tasty. After that I went back for a regular drip coffee. Again I wish it was a bit warmer. The shop was cool with a beautiful mural and my favorite was the little touches all around. It has a shared space to each/drink with the sandwich shop next door. We purchased a sandwich there as well. Great sandwiches! The customer service was great at the coffee shop. He took his time with us while we decided. Lots to choose from. read more

What can I say that can describe how delicious their coffee is other than...This is damn good coffee! Came in on Small Business Saturday to support our local shops, snuggled next to Lucia's craft sandwhich shop, on 605 Second Ave! this was the perfect combo I've been dreaming of! Coffee and hearty sandwich to go! Although we ended up staying awhile! In between is a cozy hang out communal space with unique chairs and seating. Back to the coffee! We got the best of it all! 2 dulce de leche iced cold brew with a twist of Oatchata foam and 3 leches foam! MMMMHMMM! That hit the spot! Definitely will be back! The two owners were kind, outgoing and even telling us a little about why the picked Crockett for their brick and mortar and local events! Santa and a fun crew of locals drove by as it was Sip n Shop event day! A refreshing new spot that gives me a reason to come to Crockett to visit this new brick and mortar! Only regret didn't take enough pics, too busy enjoying the atmosphere, easy parking out front and hang out area: thank you for a great Saturday! :) read more

Had the xocomil latte with tres leches foam. It was excellent. The foam adds another dimension to the flavor profile. Baristas were very nice and patient with a first timer. Seating is in a communal space with the Lucia's craft sandwiches next door. read more

I tried the dulce de leche latte and it was so good! Not overly sweet and there's an option to add flavored foams if you want it a little sweeter. The owner, Jose, was also my barista and he really added to my great experience. I could tell he genuinely cared about his customers' experience. The cafe only opened a few months ago and Jose mentioned adding pastries and snacks in the future. I'm excited to go back and try some of the other options and also see what is added in the future. read more
