One glance at top coffee spots in the area and we were sold on Malvia! We called an Uber to take us over. Once dropped off on Avenida Revolución we read in other reviews that the shop can be a challenge to find - but we are a persistent bunch and figured it out. Here are simple directions to locate it: find the gastropub La Justina on Revolucion and walk down the stairs to the left of it. Then proceed forward until you see the unmistakably unique and cute decor of Malvia on the left. There are several tables outside then the coffee bar space at the store front. All the drinks looked delightful and it was a tough decision to select just one drink. A friend opted for an iced drink with coconut and espresso, I chose the "Dorado" which featured turmeric. It was sumptuous and refreshing - with a gold appearance from the turmeric. The espresso was tasty and there was just the right amount of sweetness. Super refreshing and highly recommended. Service was kind and prices are super reasonable. The sitting area was unique too - there's other neat stores in the area and the temperature was nice since we were underground. Overall, Malvia was excellent and definitely worth checking out. Thanks for the memorable experience!

The first few times I had come to grab a coffee, Malvia was either closed or I was just unable to find them. If you are using Google Maps my best advice is to get to the corner of Madero and Third and enter one of several doors which will lead you into a large market style space. Malvia is about a shoe-boxed sized cafe in Zona Centro. There are several tables in the front with seating for probably around twenty. On the afternoon of a June day I visited and ordered an iced latte. It was 45 pesos and probably around twenty ounces. It was very delicious and I was happy to sip on it while I walked to Gastro Telefonica. Malvia definitely fits into to the Tijuana craft coffee scene and I highly recommend you stop by to try out a caffeinated drink.

The menu options were simple, i don't know if making a concoction of flavors was possible but it didn't show. I like bitterness in my coffee and this had just a hint of it. We tried the mazapán and Mexican mocha, they were both good. Again, i prefer the stronger coffee flavor so for me it was subtle but still good. The flavor of mazapán was there but again, subtle. They were not overly sweet which I liked. We also tried a s'mores puerquito cookie which was also not overly sweet and good flavor. I will be back and ask if I could have my coffee made stronger, hopefully this helps! Our total for 2 coffees (hot and cold) and a puerquito was $14.50 Food/Coffee:**** Service:**** Ambiance:*

Now I get to go sit in less traffic with a smile on my face and a warm cuppa Joe in my hand Of course I had to order two different recipes. I got the cinnamon dolce and the rosemary iced latte. They are both perfectly made with the perfect amount of coffee to sugar ratio. She also had milk alternatives for me, so I got both with oat milk! Not to mention her website was so professional, and easy to use. Thanks again I hope your business thrives! Can't wait to come back next time I need a good coffee close to CBX!

I ordered a double espresso and a carrot cake, and the carrot cake was rich and sweet, and the espresso was fruity with a slight sour note. The espresso wasn't really my style (I prefer a darker, nuttier espresso without the fruity notes), but I added a bit of sugar and cream to make it more palatable to me, and I enjoyed it. This place is great because you can come here for the ambiance, have a nice little chat with your barista, or simply enjoy your morning espresso. What's not to like? Also, the location is pretty fantastic, smack dab in the middle of Downtown.

I visited Coffee Bean today, and unfortunately, my experience at the register was disappointing…read more The cashier, Sofi, came across as rushed and unprofessional from the moment we started ordering. We asked what matcha flavors were available, and she told us they only had Classic Matcha and Strawberry Matcha. I asked if there were any other flavors, and she simply replied, "No." My friend then pointed to what looked like a coconut matcha on the menu board, and instead of explaining it, she just stared at us as if we were bothering her. We ended up ordering that one. She then asked if our order was to go because they were about to close. At that point, I understood why she seemed to have such an attitude, but customers who arrive during business hours shouldn't be made to feel rushed. I also asked if they had soy milk, and she bluntly replied, "No." When I asked what milk options they did have, she listed oat, almond, and nonfat. A little friendliness and willingness to help would have made a big difference. The good part of the experience was that the drinks were absolutely delicious, and the gentleman who handed us our drinks was kind, polite, and welcoming. I appreciate his great customer service. I hope this location reminds its staff that even when it's close to closing time, every customer deserves to be treated with patience and respect.

To drink, I ordered a regular iced latte, with an extra shot of espresso. The latte was ready within a few minutes, but the sandwich took 15 minutes. I sat down and checked my stuff online while my sandwich was ready. After getting the food, I went back to my hotel room. The sandwich was very delicious! It was definitely a big upgrade from the breakfast sandwiches that the big chains offer back home. The food was very flavorful, and it was put together with effort. The latte also gave me the kick of energy that I needed to get my day going. The staff here was very friendly, and other patrons were similarly out getting coffee or food with friends on a quiet Sunday morning. I liked this place, and I recommend it if you find yourself in this part of Tijuana.

Looking at their…read moremenu, I have to say they offer quite a variety of drinks, from traditional milk teas to brown sugar specialties, fruit teas, yogurt drinks, and even coffee. One thing that immediately caught my attention was their signature roasted brown sugar series. The Roasted Brown Sugar Pearl Fresh Milk is one of their featured drinks, along with the milk tea, chocolate, and matcha versions. Prices range from $7.25 to $8.25 depending on the size. That's definitely on the higher side for boba, so I would expect good-quality ingredients and a well-balanced drink for the price. Their classic milk tea selection is pretty extensive, too. They offer everything from authentic milk tea and oolong milk tea to Thai tea, taro milk tea, and matcha latte. Most medium-sized drinks are around $6.25, which seems fairly typical for specialty boba shops these days. For anyone who prefers something refreshing instead of creamy, their fruit tea selection looks interesting. The Passion Fruit Green Tea, Winter Melon Green Tea, and Strawberry Green Tea are a few options that caught my eye. I also like that they offer different sweetness and ice levels, so customers can customize their drinks. Another nice touch is their selection of toppings, including crystal boba, coconut jelly, grass jelly, cheese foam, and crème brûlée. At $0.95 per topping, though, the final price can add up quickly, especially if you're ordering a large drink. Overall, Daboba at Las Americas has an impressive variety of drinks, especially for people who enjoy brown sugar boba and creative milk tea combinations. My biggest observation is the pricing. With some large drinks costing over $8 before extra toppings, it's not exactly a budget-friendly boba stop. At that price point, taste, freshness, and consistency really matter. If you're visiting Las Americas and craving something sweet or refreshing, Daboba is certainly an option to consider. The menu offers plenty of choices, whether you're a traditional milk tea drinker or someone who enjoys trying different flavors.
