Cute cafe. Great spot to work in if you're in the area. Good music and really good coffee.

coffee tastes fine but every time i come in the staff is pretty unwelcoming especially the owner, bald dude with glasses. i dont know if its something to do with the way i look because i see them give friendly service to other people. im always polite, tip over 20%, genuinely idk wtf the problem is. its not worth the $10 for me anymore for some reason i always feel like im being judged. read more

Just wanted to add on to my old review that they offer many specialty coffee and matcha options from around the world and rotate their coffee, for drip and espresso, now. The art is also rotated regularly and community engagement is great. The seasonal drinks are always great btw! read more

Passed by this spot plenty of times but always when it was an outrageous line. I never had the patience to wait prior to the other day when I drove by and saw no line. It was a Monday at like 11am after I presume "their morning rush". I ordered an iced matcha with oat milk and needless to say I did enjoy it a lot. The lid did break twice lol So they've had to give me three ( I feel for the price they charge the cups should be better quality). But the staff were nice and polite and the place had a few seats not many. The match latte was $8 with the extra charge if oat milk I assume. So that's definitely the most I paid for matcha. But definitely don't mind it here and there. read more

Solid neighborhood coffee spot with an Ecuadorian twist. Friendly and quick service with folding chairs and tables for guests on demand. Tried the hot raices latte which was very good. 8.5/10. The cinnamon was a bit overwhelming for me and you couldn't taste the other flavors much read more

Cholita - Cappuccino - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Ridgewood, New York

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 read more

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! read more

Favorite coffee of the weekend. Really simple and clean interior. Not fussy. This is a mid-stop if you are in the area.

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. read more

Cholita - Raices - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Ridgewood, New York

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. read more

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. :) read more

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. read more

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. read more

Cholita - Cocada - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Ridgewood, New York

Best coffee in the neighborhood by a long shot, but the service is really hit or miss. A bit of a crap shoot whenever you walk in, as some staff behind the counter can be pretty rude or, at best, disinterested. What's possibly worse is that I think it's entirely unintentional, and just kind of a personality thing. Again great coffee and espresso drinks, but not a place to go if you've been having a hard day. read more

Really cute spot for coffee - I swung by on a Sunday afternoon for a little pick me up and was surprised by how many people were there! I got an iced dulce de leche latte. Super yummy! Would recommend. read more

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. read more

Truly would not have noticed this place if there hadn't been a solid crowd sitting outside. We were having lunch across the street and stopped in for a coffee. The menu is interesting beyond a standard coffee shop; for example, we got a Dulce de leche iced coffee. The crowd seems super hipster in a friendly way. And the prices are extremely reasonable. I so wish that they offered sleeves for their coffee, but otherwise the iced experience was great! read more

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! read more

Cholita - Menu - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Ridgewood, New York

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. read more

Very artsy, with a minimalistic feel. If you're trying to support small businesses in the area, this is the place! Cholita is an Ecuadorean owned coffee shop in Ridgewood, Queens that has great coffee option and work space area.

Cholita is a super minimalist space putting out excellent coffee and cafe beverages in the heart of Ridgewood. The baristas I met on my visit were extremely friendly and we engaged in a bit of small talk about the area. There are a couple of tables where you can work if you are a remote employee. It's a nice location in walking distance of many of the shops and restaurants on Woodward Ave. and Rolo's is across the street. The iced matcha I had was excellent and refreshing. Can't wait to make my way over to Cholita again sometime soon! read more

Simple space and amazing coffee. Went with a group of 4 and everyone enjoyed what they got. Happy to get here and try it out.

I ordered the cocada and it was one of the best coffee/espresso drinks I've ever had (and I have worked in coffee shops all over the city)-perfectly balanced flavors with just right amount of sweetness. Though somewhat austere the white box-gallery aesthetic is refreshing and serves in emphasizing the broad range of curated art on display. I appreciate their homage to indigenous Peruvian women/culture and that it is co-owned/founded by Queens locals read more
