    Great cafe to come, order, sit down and relax. The food was very tasty and very affordable too. They do not have many different food options but I think this is what makes it unique because they focus on the menu they have and make the food taste delicious. The cafe de olla latte was delicious. It is a small café but the service was fast and great. Our food was prepared fast and there was no long wait time. Do keep in mind that I went on a Thursday morning therefore weekends might be a little bit more busy. However, trust me when I say the wait time would be worth it. I am definitely going back to try the Cajeta latte and buy myself a T-shirt they have for sale that I loved!

    I was getting my car maintenance around the corner and I stopped by! I was super impressed with how cozy and welcoming the ladies were. The menu was easy to read and had so many options! I went with a matcha latte and a chia pudding. They even gave me a mole tamal. It was all delicious! When in the area I will be back!

    This place is a whole vibe and a half!!! Their staff is nothing short of amazing and we received everything super fast as well. Sierra Cafe truly highlights the literal beauty of Mexican Culture with its colorful mosaic adorned walls and coffee/food selection. All of their flavors are made in house AND their ingredients are so fresh. I got the banana latte and I'm not kidding when I tell you in a blink it was gone because of how fast I finished it lol their Torta pairs so perfectly with their salad and the ingredients again, so fresh and not too heavy. They offer seating in doors and outdoors as well and if you're looking for catering, their prices are very very reasonable! My company just placed a last minute catering order and Lucy and her staff made everything so easy. Such a beautiful shop I am so happy to be connected to now! If you're reading this it's your sign to try it! Lol

    Sierra Mexican Cafe is a Mexican inspired cafe. It's located right on the Tweedy Mile near South East High School (go Jaguars!). It's a cute little coffee shop with deep roots in its community. If you follow them on their social media, you're able to see just how much they're involved. Sierra Cafe's mission encapsulates the community of SELA and its culture. As someone who grew up in SELA, I can't remember having many places like these, so it's great to see such a small but powerful community resource. Coffee 8/10 We tried their Spanish and piloncillo lattes, both with almond milk. Both were very good but I was left a bit disappointed with the lack of piloncillo flavor my latte had. I'd love to go back and try their cafe de olla. Regardless, both coffees were strong and tasteful. Food 8/10 For food, we got a little of everything. We ordered their breakfast chorizo con papa burrito, strawberry banana toast, chia pudding, turkey torta, and their mole poblano wrap. If you try anything from here, please let it be the mole poblano wrap!!! That was I don't order mole in a lot of places because they make it too sweet but this mole was perfect. Not sweet but had a little kick to it. Absolutely delicious!! The wrap has rice and queso fresco as well. The toast and chia pudding were bomb and my toddler killed both. Their chorizo con papa burrito seems to be very popular because we got the last one (at 9am). In my opinion, the burrito had more papa than chorizo. It was flavorful but left us wanting more. For the price though, it's a good portion. Vibes/Ambiance : 9/10 We visited on a Friday morning and it was a bit busy. Staff were very friendly and very accommodating. I noticed they greeted everyone who came in. It feels very home-y. Parking can be a bit tricky and if you're lucky enough, you'll find a spot behind the shop. If not, street parking is your next option. There's a back patio too and plenty of seats inside. Overall, it's a great cafe in SELA! Brought back so many memories of my high school days. It was great even seeing some students having their breakfast there before school. Check this local gem out!!!

    Chorizo con papa burrito

    First time trying out Sierra. My sister recommended it. I loved the decor and the music selection was great. I ordered a chicken Chipotle Sandwich, which by the way, had a perfect toast to it. Nice and crunchy. Flavor was awesome. My sister had a chorizo con papa burrito and my husband has a mole burrito which was fire! As a dessert we had the banana bread which was so delicious! Overall, I would go back again. They were sold out of the their French toast so I'm hoping to go back for those. Service was great overall. Staff was so nice. Definitely, coming back.

    Came here for a quick breakfast date and we really enjoyed it! The mole poblano wrap was the standout! Super flavorful and tasted homemade. I'd definitely go back just for that. The chorizo con papa burrito was also solid, especially at $5. Good flavor and a good portion. The French toast surprised me in a good way. Not overly sweet, which I actually like. I also got two iced lattes: one Café de Olla and one Mexican Chocolate. Both were pretty milky, but still good and not too strong. Service was great. Everything came out quickly. There's a cute little patio area in the back that makes for a nice spot to eat outside. Only thing is parking can be a little tricky, but theres street parking around the block. Overall, a really nice hidden gem in SOLA area. Will be back!

    Lucy, immediately welcomed me when I first arrived from my run! I decided to take my lunch after running and this cafe spot kept coming up as a recommendation. I have tried their other spot, Sierra Guisados, which have the most tastiest guisados I've ever tasted! I decided to try their Mile Burrito and their infamous Banana Latte, and let me say, I was not disappointed! I enjoyed my time at the cafe shop and noticed that more people began to arrive and order lunch. The shop is clean and parking is available in the back! Such a neat and fun spot!

    Love the french toast! fresh fruits. Chipotle sandwich was delish! took a while for food to come out but totally worth it. Coffee can use a little work but i see the vision.

    Such a cute spot in Southgate! I came with my best friend for a quick bite -- I had their all-natural strawberry smoothie and a mole wrap with rice and queso fresco (SO good!). My friend loved her cafecito de olla and chicken chipotle sandwich. The vibe is cozy and friendly, and even though they didn't have a high chair, my baby did just fine. The staff was super welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. Definitely coming back!

    super sweet staff and very homey vibe! my personal favorites are chicken chipotle sandwich and burrito which is pictured. and to drink the iced caffe de olla. I went to try their matcha out, i got it with oatmilk and piloncillo and i wasn't a fan a bit watered down and not much matcha flavor. I've gone 3 times and most likely will come again!

    1st visit, which was a good impression, overall. I just ordered a drink (no food/bakery item), which *disclaimer* limits my review strictly down to 1 item of several to-try on their menu. The Hot version of their Mazapan Latte was good, but not great, as it felt a bit more watered-down & less flavorful, than anything. But again, not bad. I'd like to return to give this and other menu items another shot. My friends did order food (Chipotle Chicken sandwiches--which looked Huge) & another drink item (Cafe de Olla--which they commented to be a nice balance between milk and coffee). They were satisfied as well. As for service: Service was very welcoming, fast and efficient. Ambiance: The cafe is small with limited seating inside, but they have tried to maximize every corner to entertain enough people as they can. The outdoor patio seating area is another nice accomodation though. A cute thing to note is, the added decor & crafts, which animate the cafe with color. I also noticed that they have some sticky notes for customers to write on & leave their imprints, which adds on to the cute nature of the cafe. Will re-visit to try more.

The cafe is small and sure it was decorated but if you compare themed cafes in Japan to this it's not that impressive at all. Unfortunately I didn't get to try the food as most of it was sold out when I went so I got Robins drink which was recommended by the staff. The pricing seemed decent for most of the items. It was sweet but very watered down, to me it tasted like a grape propel drink....not my favorite. I noticed a lot of the drinks were premade into cups already. I don't know how I feel about that as the freshness aspect isn't there but maybe they were slammed when they first opened and that was the best way they could get peoples drinks out. The souvenir cup was a nice touch but I personally wouldn't come here again.

We were served by a wonderful Caucasian maid, and we also noticed a cute Korean maid taking care of some other tables--the whole staff was super friendly and really added to the charming, positive vibe of the cafe. One thing that really stood out to me was their retail section. They have a surprisingly solid selection of Japanese trading card games like Weiss Schwarz, Hololive, and Pokémon, alongside some manga. It's an awesome touch if you're a fan of the hobby or just want something interesting to browse while waiting for your order. As for the food, I had to try the classic maid cafe staple: the omurice. I ordered the curry omurice, complete with the signature cute ketchup art drawn right on the egg. It was hearty, flavorful, and definitely hit the spot. We also tried a couple of their specialty iced espresso drinks, including the tiramisu latte. They were topped generously with whipped cream and tasty crumbles. The drinks are definitely on the richer, sweeter side, making them feel like a dessert in themselves. If you're into Japanese gaming and anime culture, or just looking for a cafe experience that's a bit out of the ordinary with fantastic service and indulgent drinks, this place is absolutely worth a visit.
