    Banana latte
    D C.

    Really wanted to like this spot. Love supporting local shops however they missed the mark with their coffee. We had the banana latte tasted like water coffee was very diluted. Empanada tasted undercooked we also had the tres leches cake it's was ok. Took a while for the latte and we were the only customer.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Iced Cafe de Olla

    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!

    Mango Matcha

    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!

    It was my husband's and my first time going, and we absolutely loved it! Both employees were so sweet and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The decorations are beautiful, everything is very clean, and our drinks and pastry were delicious. We will definitely be coming back!

    Salted caramel macchiato
    Lindsey C.

    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!

    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.

    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

    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.

    Mango matcha
    Erica B.

    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.

They also have a charming little gift shop with flowers and thoughtfully curated items that make the space feel even more special. With both indoor and outdoor seating, plus a dog-friendly patio, it's an easy place to meet friends or enjoy a quiet morning. Parking can be a little hit or miss, but in my experience, it usually hits. Whether you're grabbing breakfast to go or staying to soak up the vibes, Communal Coffee is always a solid choice.

The first time we went, we ordered Cafe de la Olla and La Morena- both with oat milk and I asked them to double check the syrups did not contain dairy. I was told all was good so we enjoyed our lattes and our daughters shared a hibiscus refresher. On our second and third visit we ordered again, La Morena and one other latte. I asked again if the syrups contained any dairy and was told no. We ordered again with oat milk. On the second visit, my husband had stomach problems and I suspect dairy was somehow inadvertently used. On the third visit, I thought it may have been a fluke, my husband getting sick and so we ordered what we had the first time but this time I got sick. So, I'm not sure if there is dairy in the syrup or if they accidentally used cow milk in our lattes. Too bad too, because the flavors were tasty. We also appreciated the donuts from Doughside Donuts. I'm just not sure we will be ordered coffee from here anymore. The entry is really cute and you automatically see the variety of plants. They sell some jewelry and plant/Mexican pastry merchandise. Service was friendly but parking is not so great, especially when they are busy. Street parking only and it can be slim, especially on street sweep days. Cute shop but be weary if staying away from dairy.

As I was driving, I randomly spotted two dudes sitting and eating at the side of a tire shop, at least that's what it looked like at first. Looking closer, I see the sign, "Come On Over Cafe". I thought, I just might! Pulled over and pulled up the internet and man, this could work out. As I found the place, it was next to a tire shop but it's it own deal. The menu looked great, but I was HUNGRY. 2 items stood out to my taste buds, either the Tuna Melt or the Italian sandwich. I asked the guy at the counter for his recommendation and he (and the lady) both offered their input. I pulled the trigger on the Italian, hot style. When I say that this sandwich slapped, I mean, it hit on at least 5 levels. Every sauce, ingredient, combination was 10/10.
