I was so pleased to find this gem of a coffee shop right in front of the hotel where I was staying!
D'Volada (meaning "on the fly") is part of a chain of coffee shops in the region. I would compare what they offer to Starbucks, Juan Valdez, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf or Tim Horton's.
I personally enjoyed D'Volada more than most of these mentioned. I don't enjoy the dark roast coffee (which they do offer), so I was glad to find they also have a great medium roast. Their prices are definitely much better. I mean, why does a simple cup of coffee have to cost $4??? Here prices are much more reasonable.
They offer American style coffee, specialty coffees, frappes, cappuccino, expresso, lattes, as well as various teas and other drinks. I really enjoyed their chai latte.
D'Volada also offers bagels and sandwiches. Check out their website for a complete menu.
I thought the decor was especially noteworthy. Modern and classy. One wall has a mural. There are plenty of places to sit and chat with friends or to take advantage of the free WiFi and get some work done. Or if you really are on the volada, you can always use the drive through.
The two young men I saw working there were both very friendly, engaging and professional.
Whenever I am in the Tijuana area I will be sure to visit D'Volada again. read more
