Cute coffee shop with Mexican inspired flavors. For the month of February they have a seasonal gansito and chococherry both delicious. In the past I've had dulce de leche and mazapan. Been coming here since they've opened plenty of parking and great service the staff is always friendly and welcoming. Ordered the de la olla and tres leches also good!

Super cute new coffee shop by the otay border. Clean environment and comfortable seating available. The owner was super sweet and I took her up on some recommendations. I had to try the Gansito cold brew as it's seasonal for the month and February. The strawberry cold foam was delicious! Also ordered the horchata latte with cold foam as recommended and it was so creamy and delicious!

First time coming here. We decided to come here because we are coffee lovers and to be honest TT recommend me this place. It's located in otay a little far from where I live but worth the drive. It has plenty of parking. The place it's super cute and very clean. It has tables chairs and cute coaches to sit down and enjoy your drink and pastries. They have a variety menu from iced coffees to matcha and much more. They also have pastries on a cute transparent display. They also have conchas and empanadas de cajeta. I decided to order the mazapán iced coffee with extra ice and with almond milk. My hubby ordered the orchata iced lattee. Both coffees were AMAZING very tasty and delicious: rich in flavor both of them. We ordered a biscuf cinamon roll that was to die for! And we also ordered a banana muffin. The banana muffin was also yummy. Customer service was phenomenal! She was very sweet, friends, polite and helpful. I really recommend this place and encourage you to go! You won't regret it! It was less than 20 dollars for everything.

Horchata latte and merchandise.

I came here on a whim to get some coffee + get some work done since I was near this area already…read more As soon as I walked in, I noticed that everyone working here had a positive and welcoming vibe - which is HUGE for me. I really appreciate when employees at a spot actually care about their work, it says a lot about the ownership/management. I ordered an iced PSL and their Avo Toast. Both were absolutely fire. The drink didn't taste like it was loaded with sugar, which allows you to actually taste the coffee and notice the quality of the beans. The avo toast I had was drizzled with this chili oil they make in house and it was 10/10. I wish I lived closer to here, as I'd likely visit daily. If you're a genuine coffee lover, definitely give this place a shot.

I'm rarely in this area so I decided to try this place out today. I tried the vanilla bourbon latte…read morewith oat milk and my friend tried the strawberry matcha with oat milk. The coffee tasted fresh and had a good taste. As for the flavoring, I wish there was a little bit more of that vanilla bourbon flavor. The matcha was also pretty good; the strawberry was a good pairing. The location was the hard part, I had to park a walk away which isn't too bad but be wary it's in a location that is best for pulling up and picking up if you don't plan to sit inside. Also random but they called your order and the drinks are put in the pickup area with no labels or lids so that can be confusing. Probably not the best method if you were unsure.

I had to do some work on my work Dell, but the battery sucks so I ran out in no time and there are no outlets for customers. minus 1-star. Met the owner and his partner. Cool folks. *** Revision 10/26 *** I fully believe the owners would let me charge my laptop so maybe a full star was a bit harsh. I would still recommend having some power outlets installed for convenience, but I'm not going to knock a full star off of the place for it.

I stopped by this cafe to study and grab some matcha. Inside there was plenty of seating and my…read morefavorite was the long wooden table with the benches. It was a great place to set up to study. I came alone but this would be a good spot for a group to work as well. I tried their classic matcha and I admit I was a bit scared when I first saw how light the color was... however I was pleasantly surprised after the first sip. The classic matcha does come unsweetened and this day I choose to not add a sweetener so I could get a feel for their matcha. It was a 3/5, not too bold, and I did pair it with oatmilk. The oatmilk wasn't as creamy as I would have liked to tie the drink together so it did feel a bit watered down. The matcha itself was very earthy, had to keep swirling it to get the matcha powder that settle at the bottom to mix in. I would try this with just a bit of honey next time or regular milk to see how it improves flavor. I don't remember how much I paid for it... but regardless, it was a good drink so I'm not upset about it! The only thing I didn't like at this spot was how loud the music was. It felt a little drowning. I don't think if I had someone in front of me we could hear each other without having to raise our voices. Other than that, the A/C was okay. It wasn't super warm inside but also not cold. It was a good ambient temperature. The staff were relatively polite. The vibe was... weird (a little condescending) but not too disturbing where it would make me not want to return. Perhaps they're just awkward. This is located in a HOA area I believe so maybe that influences people attitudes or the vibes in the store. Will return to try more drink!
