It was relaxing after driving for 2hr plus. I had a vanilla latte and it was delicious. It was a bit too strong but I would comeback again. I tried their apple coffee cake. It was tasty too.

And when I say twice, that's at least 2-4 times to Barra D' Cafe each visit to Ensenada. Pour over in the morning and sometimes also pour over or latte in the afternoon. I don't normally drink so much coffee, but...get the good stuff while I can. I've tried everything on their coffee and food menu. It has never disappointed. Still one of my top 3 favorite pour overs anywhere (that's including Tokyo), for every reason...flavor, value, vibe, and staff. They've recently shared some sad news about the loss of a (staff member?). With everyone being so wonderful there, it really is a tragedy. My heart goes out to them.

I go out of my way to visit this place knowing that their sister store is much closer to home. It is shocking that it's almost 2026, but I'm glad the prices for their coffee are still reasonable. They are so consistent that even the food is still remarkably bland. That's my personal opinion and I guess you can always add to taste from the packets offered at the self-serve corner. I am thankful that food is served on a real plate, metal cutlery is available and coffee poured in a ceramic mug. No strong opinions on service other than pick it up at the counter. I just wish point-of-sale devices that prompt for tips before service would go away. Do you what you feel is right.

Sometimes simple taste notes are always the best! The place is sort of tucked in, it's by the I-5 North exists and has ample parking.

The whole place has this rustic, barn-style charm that makes it really stand out--super cozy and unique compared to your typical café. The latte was excellent. You can really taste the freshness of the beans, and that flavor stayed consistent all the way to the last sip of my cup--which is something you don't always get. It's clear they care about quality and roasting their coffee right. What made the visit even better was the experience. I had a great conversation with the shop manager, who was incredibly welcoming and genuine. We ended up talking about coffee and realized we share the same appreciation for it, which made the whole visit feel more personal. You can tell he's passionate and truly cares about customers. The location is also super convenient, right near Interstate 5, making it an easy stop whether you're passing through or heading somewhere nearby. If you're looking for freshly roasted beans for your home setup or even for your own coffee shop, this is definitely a place I'd recommend checking out.

So vigilante is keeping 3 adults moving. Whenever we get beans, they are fresh roasted within the week. I love the locally roasted beans and they are always perfect. My FIL loves tin Lizzie and so do I but I have really enjoyed some of their other blends! El Fuego is another go to. They have some great cafe drinks, some good snacks and the seating area is spacious. I am glad the vista location opened to avoid the South O crowds in the thick of summer. I'll be back, I always am.

They sell a large variety of espresso drinks, teas, and non-coffee alternative options. They also sell small food items like açaí bowls, avocado toast, granola, and pastries. From what I've tried, the coffee and tea is really good! The flat white I had was really smooth and well-balanced. I've also tried both a hot and iced London fog, which were both pretty tasty. Service is good, baristas are attentive and observant. Easy to have a chat and laugh with. Overall, a solid north county option for a meetup or a remote work location.

Creamy, sweet but not overwhelming, and the espresso was excellent. Not bitter or acidic. I don't know how they did it-but it's absolutely phenomenal. It was a ten minute walk for us and worth every minute in the hot humidity. The atmosphere was friendly with awesome vibes. The interior is clean with minimalistic decor and the baristas were really..just great. I'm in love with this little place.

Best coffee in town!…read more There's a of options in TJ for coffee shops, from Starbucks to other chains coffee shops like D'Volada, Baristi and others and those are decent good, but Das Cortez takes the price for me,they're in whole nother level. You can tell the baristas know what they're doing and they show their skills in every cup of coffee. The only con I could think of is that they do not open early enough.

The Viennese was honestly one of the best I've ever had, and the lavender latte had a subtle lavender flavor that allowed the roast to shin and not be masked.

The shop has indoor and outdoor seating, with the back patio being shaded by a large tree. The building's exterior and interior have a very cool aesthetic that's minimalistic yet still vibrant and comfortable. I think this is a must-try if you're into coffee and are in Tecate

We ordered a latte, a matcha latte with oat milk, and a chocolate croissant. Milk texture and temperature were right on point for both drinks! Nice strong coffee flavor in the latte. My husband thought the latte was a tiny bit runny/watery (if that makes sense) but I thought it was fine. I'm not an oat milk drinker, but I enjoyed the flavor of the oat milk. The tiny downside is that the oat milk kinda overpowers the matcha flavor. It was a nice smooth drink. We also ordered a chocolate croissant and it was good too. I was happily surprised to find this coffee shop and will definitely go back and even get coffee beans there.
