LOVE this coffee shop! Cholita offers some well-made coffee drinks, and we loved stopping by! I had their Cocada, which was prepared with double espresso, milk, sweetened condensed milk, and coconut - came out extra hot, as requested, and the drink was just expertly made. Staff were super kind and friendly, and there are a handful of seating inside. The space is minimal, but I loved the artwork. Such a great spot to get your caffeine fix and/or to do some work. Thanks, Cholita! +delicious coffees +friendly staff & service

I just had an amazing experience at Cholita, the new coffee spot in Ridgewood, this past weekend! We got two mocas made with oat milk (perfect for my dairy-free cravings!), and they were absolutely delicious. The drinks came in cute cups tagged with the Cholita logo - loved the touch! We also tried the breakfast and cheese empanadas, and OMG they did NOT disappoint (don't skip the assortment of homemade sauces). Flaky, savory, and so good...If you're in Ridgewood, you gotta check out Cholita. Can't wait to come back and try the raices drink with the star anise for a unique touch and flavor. Also, the maple latte. Viva Ecuador and Bienvenidos - Besos!

Ridgewood has definitely been gentrified over the past couple of years but that is not necessarily a bad thing, just something to adjust to. Cholita is a cute Ecuadorian coffee shop that offers different drinks & some pastries as well. I had the raíces drink which was great- the star anise was a nice touch. I'm looking forward to trying other drinks from here.

Love having Cholita as a neighborhood coffee shop. It's the perfect place to get coffee to go to kickstart your day. The raices is great; the combination of the three sweets/spices (cinnamon, star anise, and panela) blends beautifully. The cocada is also great. The coconut and condensed milk make that latte smooth as heck. There's about 3 or 4 tablespoons, best for sitting with a friend to chat for a little bit, but it's also possible to get some focused work time here, as long as you do not anticipate needing a lot of space to spread out. The artwork around the cafe regarding the diaspora is what takes this from a typical neighborhood coffee shop to a place with roots and intention.

Absolutely loved Cholita Coffee Shop. The cocada latte was delicious but the raíces latte stole the show and is definitely my favorite. This is hands down my favorite coffee spot.

My new favorite coffee shop in Ridgewood because the coffee is great, the decor is minimalistic but purposeful, and they're with the watermelon cause. I had their Raices latte and it's going to be my go-to forever and ever. Lol. I'm currently dreaming about it right now! That panela, cinnamon, and star anise is a triple threat that can't be beat. The Dulce de Leche is creamy and topped with sea salt... it wasn't too sweet but it was just like drinking a not too sweet dessert. LOL. The double shot of espresso in each of the drinks were perfect for an afternoon pick-me-up which is exactly why I went. I was served quickly and the people working at the time were very welcoming! Many people were hanging around the cafe spreading good vibes as well. Rooting for this business to last for a good minute/forever. :)

Cholita is my new fave modern, Latin, coffee spot! I go on morning walks and always want to find a good spot to pick up my caffeine on the way back. I spotted this place awhile ago and I'm so happy that I finally made it. I quickly loved the simplified aesthetic to the decor at the shop, highlighting the culture from the coffee. Yet, the walls being white and blank give it that modern, minimalist vibe. The barista nailed it when he asked if I was Mexican. I happened to be wearing a "day of the dead" hoodie and also ordered the "Raices" drink. He said it's very popular amongst Mexicans because of the cinnamon. I really enjoyed it. So much so that I took my Mamacita recently. I want to try the "Cocada" sweetened condensed milk and coconut! Yum! Also the Ecuadorian chocolate for the mocha sounds delicious! I also love that they have a stamp card. I'm a sucker for a stamp card.

I would get an iced cocada from Cholita everyday if I could! This drink is like a latté with sweetened condensed milk. So good! I enjoy the hot version, too. I also enjoy Cholita for their friendly staff, the art that they feature, the very chill atmosphere, and their pop-ups! They hosted one pop-up with flan and it was so good! They are also very kind about allowing flyers for local events. I like being able to go there and see what else is going on in the neighborhood.

Cocada

Cocadas all day, every day please. So yummy + perfect for a sweltering hot heat wave summer's day. Much love to Cholita, staff is super kind & chill as well ‍

I cannot say enough good things about this place. This coffee shop is great. I've had the Cocada and Raices and they're both delicious. There's seating outside which is super cute as well as inside I've never had any issues finding a seat, the aesthetic is very calm and it's super local so there's no crazy lines.

Maple latte

I love this coffee shop so much. I come here every morning when I have to move my car because it just makes having to wake up to move your car to the opposite side of the street worth waking up for. Their lattes are so delicious and so good every time. Even their latte art is always perfect. Everyone there is kind and once you enter the place it's just feels clean warm welcoming and zen. I've tried the maple latte and was hooked on that for a good two weeks it's the perfect amount of maple to add sweetness to your coffee without having to add sugar but still having that coffee taste in every sip. Then I decided to try something new which then I tried their " cocada" latte. Now I'm hooked on this one currently it has condensed milk I believe but wow I would've never guessed these combinations to go with coffee in a latte and taste so good at the same time. Honestly every time I come out in the cold winter weather to get a hot latte here I feel so much better and this is coming from a girl that strictly until I found this coffee shop was an ICED LATTE GIRL ONLY. So to change me from iced to hot latte game changer of a latte can't wait to try the whole menu and their combinations honestly I know everything here is quality flavorful and just done to perfection.

This little coffee shop here is AWESOME. I was looking for coffee shops in Queens that I didn't have to travel too far to get quality coffee. This little shop knocks it out of the park. The service here is awesome, and every drink here is an experience to try. The quality of the coffee is really tasty, and you can tell that the baristas know the craft well. This place looks like it's just starting out, so they don't have much seating, but that's okay, all good things take time. This place is worth the travel to! I really like the Cocada drink option they have, as well as the Moca. I highly recommend this place to visit and have a coffee!

Iced Dulce de leche latte

I really enjoyed my dinner here with a friend…read more We shared the duck choila, the vegetarian momo, and the chicken and cheese roti. The duck appetizer was very flavorful and the duck was pleasantly chewy. The vegetarian jhol momo had a simple, vegetable filling with a pleasant texture with a perfectly chewy wrapper. However, the real star was the broth they are served in. The flavor was bright and intense. Our entree, the roti, really tasted like a delicious chicken quesadilla. It had a slightly crispy exterior and just enough filling and was pleasantly rich and greasy. It paired well with the black bean curry and the additions of slaw and tangy achar perfectly cut the richness. This place serves authentic Nepalese flavors but with a more approachable menu studded with items more familiar for a less adventurous eater- the type of place you can take your parents to.

went to while in kathmandu in ridgewood and had such a memorable meal. we ordered the sautéed…read moremasala wings, garlic naan with hummus, chicken momos, 2x not a tacos, mango lassi, chitwan ko tass, and the chicken roti with cheese. the chitwan ko tass especially stood out, it's a classic goat dish from the chitwan region of nepal served with a variety of sides. this was definitely outside of our usual comfort zone but it surprised us in all the best ways. every dish had such unique and delicious flavor profiles and the whole meal felt special. sitting there eating honestly made me feel transported to nepal in the best way, like a cozy little town near everest. the staff was so warm and welcoming, helped guide us through the menu, and even shared some history about the culture and region which made the experience even better. so happy i got to experience this place!! definitely make the time to visit the ridgewood location.
