Kahlo Cafe - The sign is difficult to see from a distance. It's in between the Barber shop and the Rent a Center. - Bakeries Near Me - Oceanside, California

I stopped in this morning after having their Instagram show up on my feed. I'm so glad I went and wished I would have gone sooner. Everything looked so good but I got an Iced Cafe De Olla and it was amazing!! I usually prefer a splash of milk in my coffee but decided to try it without. I'm so glad I didn't have any milk added as it was perfect without it! The inside of the cafe is adorable and I'm already thinking my next meeting free day I'll plan to spend a few hours working from there just enjoying the ambiance and want to try some food next time as well. The staff was awesome and made me feel welcome the minute I walked in the door even inviting me to come back for their next Loteria night. I can't wait to go back and try something else! read more

This is my second time catering dessert with Muñecas Artisanal Desserts and our first time catering a coffee bar. Let me start this off by saying Kelly the owner is so sweet and nice! I feel she goes above and beyond to make your event special. Between the coffee bar and the dessert cart, everything was amazing! My family loved everything! But the coffee bar was a big hit with everyone! I was so excited when I found out Kelly started offering a coffee bar along with her dessert cart. I knew I had to get it for my party Kelly and her staff were so friendly and professional! Set up and clean up was seamless. I would definitely recommend both coffee and desserts with Kahlo Cafe! Thank you Kelly for everything! It was truly amazing and memorable for my family and friends. read more

Dannggg Kahlo Coffee is cute! The drinks and food were so delish! It's gotta be a part of the Frida's fam since they share the same parking lot and Kahlo is her last name. Everything was tasty. Service was amazing. Cute single bathroom inside. Instagrammable moments. This is in the Eastside neighborhood and worth the stop. read more

I finally got to check out this amazing Latina owned coffee shop. The staff is super friendly and answered all of my questions regarding the menu. I ordered a mango matcha latte and a Morenita Mia. The matcha was delicious. My husband said he really enjoyed the Morenita Mia as well. I also ordered a cinnamon roll and a tres leches cake. The cinnamon roll was 10/10. I would definitely order again. The tres leches cake was good as well. I can't wait to go back and try some of the other items on their amazing menu! Love the decor! read more

I loved the decor, and even better, the coffee. I ordered a tres leches latte (Amorcito Corazón) and a matcha tres leches pastry. Both items were delicious, and the service was fast. I went with family, so we had four drinks and some food items. I like the variety, while not large, I feel the selections there offer something for every day of the week mood. One lady in particular was so kind to us and chatted about a game night. It gave really good neighborhood friend vibes. The inside area is limited, but there are a few seats outside as well. I would definitely recommend! read more

I recently discovered this hidden gem of a coffee shop in Oceanside California and just had to tell others about it. The Kahlo Café is a small, Latina-owned Mexican coffee shop that's located near the downtown area, off Mission Ave, in an unassuming shopping center. This Mexican-themed café takes its inspiration from the famous Mexican painter Frida Kahlo. As such, the interior decor is very simple, yet cute, quaint and vibrantly colored, lending many notes to the Mexican culture. Their menu is also filled with many Mexican-inspired flavors such as : tres leches, horchata, mango & flan. There's also notes taken from trendy flavors such as matcha, cinnamon & banana. What I can really appreciate is the vibrant energy from the owner, Kelly, who is very active and attentive. From a friendly greeting, to patiently answering my inquiries and a hearty farewell, this place really knows how to make me feel welcomed! I can also appreciate that they make some of their pastries and desserts in-house. This means that there will be fresh banana purée for your banana latte and real chunks of mango too. Although the interior is relatively small, it's good enough for customers to sit and enjoy inside, and there's a little bit of patio seating as well. Along with a clean bathroom, this place is well-kept, and I know that it will do great in the future! I highly recommend Kahlo Café as a small business that is offering delicious Mexican coffee & snacks! read more

Nice little coffee shop. Very clean and aesthetically pleasing. I had a specialty drinks and it was very good. Sorry I forgot to take photos. Next time I come back I'll add to the review. There's plenty of parking and it's a good for business meetings as it's not too noisy. read more

I absolutely love this cafe. The banana matcha is to die for and the mini pancakes on top is the perfect touch. They mash a fresh banana into the matcha and it is delicious. The baristas are super sweet and friendly. I also love the ambiance of the whole cafe. They do loteria a few times a month which is super fun. read more

Stopped by this adorable new hidden gem in our own hometown. Got to enjoy some delicious cafecito with the owner Kelly, we got to try a slice of tres leches cake and a freshly baked banana bread! What a wonderful experience. If you're in the area, this place is a must! Thank you Kelly for hosting us. Blessings always. - The Cafecito Couple read more

Very cute spot! The signage isn't super obvious so it wasn't the easiest to find but maybe that's just me. I got the salted caramel macchiato iced and turkey sandwich. Both were great. The server was very nice and helpful. It's kind of an odd location for a higher end coffee shop but it's close to me so hoping they make it! read more

Kahlo Cafe feels like 3 shops meshed into 1 storefront - the front is cute and trendy, the middle looks like abuela's house with god knows how many crosses on the wall, and the back selling little tchotchkes. It felt a little all over the place and I think this is a situation where less is more. The more concerning part was the employee's lack of knowledge on drinks. I asked which latte he recommended and he started talking about the matchas but then said "I don't drink lattes, I drink these ones on the first menu" while pointing at, well, the tres leches latte. So I was a little concerned that the barista making my drink wasn't aware that his favorite drink is indeed a latte...yikes. With so many coffee shops in the area I can't say I recommend Kahlo but perhaps I'll have to try their food one day. read more

I've heard so much about this spot and so many people talking about supporting this small business so I decided to finally come and see what all of the hype was about. It looks like a little hole in the wall spot, next to a laundromat and Mexican market. Plenty of parking... upon entering, the space is very nice. It's decorated beautifully. Definitely lots of aesthetic and makes for some really cute Instagram pics. Plenty of seating as well. They have food options, lots of different drink options, and a good selection of pastries. The purpose of my visit was to solely try their mango matcha. I have been craving this drink so bad and I really couldn't find anywhere else in north county that offers it so granted I was super excited to come and satisfy my craving. When I walked in with my boyfriend and our daughter, we weren't greeted. It didn't give much of a welcoming vibe... I walked over to the counter to order and there was just one girl in front of me who was finishing up paying. The girl working proceeded to make the drink but I stood at the register for maybe 5 minutes without even being acknowledged and it just felt really awkward. When I got my drink it looked good. The matcha color seemed solid. I personally thought there was wayyy too much of the mango added, and it took away from the matcha flavor. Every other sip was just chunks of super ripe mango. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE mango... but when added with matcha I feel like there shouldn't be a whole lot because it's overpowering. Price was $7 something... which is average for a cup of matcha. All in all, I would like to come back and try their coffee or other things on their menu. Maybe the girl working was having an off day? Just makes it a way better experience when you're greeted with a smile or ANY type of acknowledgment honestly. read more

Such a cute coffee shop/cafe! Service was really nice and the place was pretty clean. It's a bit tight in there but we managed. Ordered cafe de olla and horchata latte for drinks. To eat we ordered: a veggie sandwich, lox bagel, breakfast bagel sandwich and a pb&j...I have to say those sandwiches were amazing! I really enjoyed the veggie sandwich that was phenomenal! The coffee was so delicious as well! I am a sucker for cafe de olla and they made it perfectly!! Will come back if I'm in the area. read more

The place itself is very cute. However, the drinks are not good at all. Ive tried to give this place a shot 3x (tried giving it the benefit of the doubt) and every time that I have bought different coffees, it's gone down the drain. The knowledge on coffee is lacking. Really disappointing paying $7/$8 on a cup of coffee just to toss. read more

No the coffee honestly isn't that good, I wouldn't recommend at all. Coffee is too sweet

Came here with my sister & the place is so cute! I will definitely be coming back! The drinks were delicious, & the Staff is super nice!

We got the everything breakfast & it was delicious!!! I was unsure where to order but I stood near the register & was then greeted to see if I was ready. The drinks were really good. Mazapán Latte: 8/10 (wished it stirred better...?) Dulce De Leche: 8/10 my boyfriend said you can't really taste it being what the name is given..? Overall, very cute inside. Location is hard to find at first it's next to a laundry Matt & diagonal across from the college/daycare center. read more

The quality is there. I had the pleasure of having my morning coffee with Lox Bagel at this beautiful establishment. I ordered their Cafe De Olla that was perfectly sweetened and had lots of cinnamon, my favorite. When the lox and bagel came out I was happy. The presentation was great and there was a good portion of salmon. The quality of the salmon was great, topped with fresh dill and capers. alongside some slices of lemon. The Bagel was perfectly toasted and plenty of cream cheese. I enjoyed my Cafe De Olla and lox and bagel outside on their small patio area. This place is dog friendly. I was greeted with a friendly smile and very warm welcomes I will definitely be back. read more

Kahlo Cafe was beyond amazing. Food portions were perfect, food was delicious and savory. The drinks were incredible especially the banana matcha. We ordered an avocado toast, Pesto mots and tomato toast (Customers have an option to make it a toast or bagel.) for food, but we also got the opportunity to try their brownies and cookies. For drinks we got a banana matcha, strawberry matcha and a mango passion fruit refresher. The avocado toast was just right. Kahlo's cafe toast was the perfectly toast, not too toasted to the point where it's hard as a rock like some places and not too soft or soggy to the point where it's just a raw sandwich, it was just rich with the perfect crunch. The toppings were delicious, and the spread was just the right consistency. Everything just fit perfectly together. The P,M & T was just as delicious. The right amount of balsamic and toppings. And once again toast was perfectly toasted. Sweet and savory. Both Matcha drinks were incredible, u have an option to substitute the milk u want and add more toppings like cold foam on it (Yes they do have almond and oat milk). The Matcha by itself is the right amount of sweet. The bananas or the strawberries were not too over powering to the point where u cannot taste the matcha, Kahlo's cafe definitely made sure to be able to taste both the matcha and berries or bananas. The refresher was just as good, definitely recommend more than a pink drink from starbucks, it's incredibly refreshing. Overall we in fact did want to get the whole menu, everything just looked amazing and service was beyond amazing. We got the pleasure to meet the owner Kelly who was very welcoming, she made sure she greeted every customer to came in with the biggest smile. The place was beautiful, it included a swing which you're able to sit on for pictures! Perfect amount of tables to study and music was just relaxing. We do recommend going to Kahlo's Cafe! I know we will for-sure be back. Thank you. read more

Great service, easygoing vibes, and amazing coffee. Huge thanks to the cashier and barista who helped us earlier today, especially Alejandra! The coffee was so good and energizing, the perfect pick-me-up for the day! Super trendy spot with great food and a great location. read more

I love supporting local business, and also enjoy trying new matcha places, but unfortunately my experience was disappointing. When we walked in, we weren't greeted and the service felt unfriendly. I spent $43 on two matcha drinks (banana matcha and strawberry matcha) and two breakfast sandwiches. Both matchas had chunks of powder that weren't mixed properly, and the breakfast sandwich was mostly lettuce. For the price, I expected much better quality and service. I really wanted to enjoy this place but sadly my experience was not great. Hopefully they can improve for the future. read more

If I could give this place a rating it would be 0 stars! Just make your coffee at home ppl or go to Tierra Mia coffee down the street. I got an Iced latte with cold foam and it had no cold foam, tasted like straight up water! Rip off for $6!! Got a recommendation from an influencer and maybe it was a bad day the espresso beans or something the machine wasn't working right cause that shit sucked!! read more

I had an amazing experience at Kahlo Cafe in Oceanside! From the moment I walked in, the customer service was incredibly warm and welcoming. The staff really make you feel appreciated and take the time to make sure everything is just right. The drinks are absolutely amazing fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. They also have a great selection of tea and pastries, and everything is very affordable, which makes it easy to come back often. The inside of the cafe is beautiful and has such a calm, zen atmosphere. I love how the space reflects Spanish culture in the decor and overall vibeit gives the place a unique and charming character. read more

I must have hit the Mother Lode of hospitality today. I had Tafael take my order of a Diego Rivera sandwich, and he was incredibly warm and friendly.

As much as I wanted to like this place , unfortunately it disappointed me twice . The coffee is off .... Their lattes are extremely sweet , I understand we can customize sweetness but I wasn't expecting a sugar bomb with a light hint of coffee . Their cold brew has a sour after taste . Service is fine . The ambience is clean . I threw away $18 (3 drinks) & ended up grabbing an iced coffee at Starbucks :( read more

I was really hoping to love this place and it be a new go to spot for coffee since it is so close to me, but unfortunately it was a big miss. First and foremost there was no one there to take my order when I arrived, the young gentlemen that came and stared at me when I ordered simply nodded and walked away. About 5 minutes later a lady walked in and finally came to the register and didn't apologize for the inconvenience (she was out buying milk it seems) and just asked me again what my order was. I ordered their cafe de olla with almond milk and my goodness it wasn't even drinkable. It tasted like I had just bit into a piloncillo it was so incredibly sweet. The place itself is cute and the pastries looked good but I didn't try any. read more
