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.

Their specialty lattes stand out, especially the Prehispánico with hoja santa and sal de guano unique and memorable. You can tell there's real intention behind everything they do.

Xcaanda isn't just another café in Ensenada; it's a full‑on coffee craft studio operating at a…read morelevel most shops never reach. As a professional level barista that's been to top coffee houses across the world - from Vienna to Paris, Sydney, Seattle and all parts in between - Xcaanda is legit and competes with the best I've ever been to. From the moment you step up to the bar, it's clear they take espresso seriously -- not performatively, but with genuine technical mastery. Their setup alone tells the story. A Sanremo espresso machine anchors the bar, flanked by two Mahkong grinders and an almost comically impressive lineup of four Acaia scales. You rarely see that many even in competition training labs. Every dose, every yield, every add‑in -- even cocoa -- is weighed with intention. Consistency isn't a goal here; it's a religion. The baristas back that gear with skill. Numerous awards and training certificates line the space, and you can taste that expertise in the cup. Their espresso is clean, balanced, and confidently extracted. Milk drinks are textured with care, and their latte lineup is one of the most creative in Baja. They offer three distinct mochas, each built around Oaxacan chocolate or cacao, and each with its own flavor architecture. It's rare to see a café treat chocolate with the same respect as coffee, but Xcaanda does. Craft touches elevate the experience even further. One drink arrived crowned with a thin orange slice, caramelized to order with a hand torch -- a small flourish that signals a bar focused on sensory detail, not just beverage assembly. The menu is extensive, thoughtful, and clearly shaped by passion. If there's a limitation, it's the small selection of sweets, but that feels more like a deliberate choice than a gap. Their energy is directed toward beverage excellence, and it shows. Overall, Xcaanda is top‑tier -- one of the best cafés I've visited anywhere. Precision, creativity, and genuine craft come together in a way that makes every drink feel intentional. If you care about espresso, this is a must‑visit.

I hate the cliche term everyone uses now, "hidden gem," but this place is a bit hidden and a pleasant surprise. It's got a nice, rustic, modern feel. It's super busy with a team behind the counter. Both times I ordered the maple and salt latte, with whole milk. The flavor was unique and different. Good stuff. The young lady behind the counter was super pleasant to talk to. I didn't catch her name, but then I never do. She mentioned she has spent time in LA and helped me figure out which whole-bean coffee to buy for espresso. I wish I had let her fine-grind the beans for me. My coffee grinder nearly caught on fire trying to get it fine enough. Anyway, blah blah blah. The place is great. If you're there, get it.

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

Very fresh ingredients, the focaccia bread was lovely. There's lots of outdoor and indoor seating, but it does go quick since it's so popular! Will definitely be back!

The storefront is a bit unassuming, being part of a standard business park, but the interior is really nice and clean, and reminds me of Japanese coffee shops, and even looks somewhat like Longplay HiFi in Sherman Heights. The Pancake Syrup Latte is a very popular and tasty choice if you're looking for a treat--it's creamy, the coffee is still forward, and it's a slightly sweet without being saccharin. Does it taste like pancakes? Not exactly, but it's a well-balanced treat-like drink worth trying iced on a hot day.

Mike and the entire team at Dreamwave are doing such an incredible job of making the experience worth every penny. The quality of the coffee, the work they do, and the service they provide is truly top tier. While they do have a lot of fun flavors, this is not the kind of place that drowns the palate with sweetness. They expertly balance the ratio of syrup, milk, and espresso to provide the best outcome. The nuttiness of their roast really shines, and they're always happy to adjust the sweetness if you need them to. Personally, I love the lower sweetness level being the default. These guys know what they're doing! We've been visiting for the past week and have stopped through Dreamwave four times this week. While I'm always in the need of a coffee fix, we've gone out of our way to visit multiple times because the people have been so beyond kind. We've sampled most of the house flavors and I can confidently say they have all been delicious. This would definitely be my go-to shop if I lived nearby.
