I had a mixed experience. The cashier was very helpful and kind, which I really appreciated. They were preparing other drinks while taking my order, so it felt a little rushed. I'm not sure if oat milk was used like I requested because my coffee ended up looking very milky. The flavor could have been better overall. On a positive note, they had nice music playing in the background and a bulletin board for small business owners, which was great to see. I love supporting places that support the community. With a little more attention to the drinks, this spot could be even better. read more

This place is cute and I recommend if you're always near this area to check it out. I usually don't come around this area but came because I found them on social media. I wasn't too impressed with the drinks I ordered and the burrito I ate. I got my daughter a banana liquado which was okay. I also got a cold brew horchata since I always try horchata flavors everywhere I go. It's the go-to drink I tend to buy. Once again it was just okay. I notice they brew using Picaresca coffee and Picaresca is much closer to the area I frequent. Anyways, I loved the vibe of the place, it's cute and I hope they get lots of service. read more

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! read more

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!!! read more

After seeing a TikTok about this place, I had to try it! Before going I read the reviews here but it doesn't reflect the attentive service that is present in the establishment. I did get there too late to have their breakfast, but still tried their Mole burrito and it was DELICIOUS! Their coffee was made very tasty, and the workers are sure to ask if you would like any add-ons or other changes. As we ate the girls there made sure to ask if we needed anything else and made sure we enjoyed the food. Can't wait to go again ! read more

Taste is always the same: great and consistent, we like the atmosphere and We always looking to supporting small business .

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 read more

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! read more

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! read more

The food is amazing, I order the chicken chipotle torta and it was delicious. It's not to spicy and it's a big torta. The orchata is very good as well. I got full with half a torta. I give it an excellent review. It was my first time try it and it won't be my last. Thank you for the amazing food and service. read more

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. read more

I'm a big fan of the chicken Chipotle sandwich combined with the mango smoothie. The ambiance is nice and service is decent.

I live walking distance from Sierra Mexican Cafe and a close friend had seen the reviews and wanted to make a visit. We had such a delightful experience. The atmosphere is very pleasant and you feel right at home. The baristas were also very friendly and helpful. I ordered a chorizo con papa burrito and a hot Spanish Latte with oatmilk. It was delicious . Full of flavor, my coffee was not too sweet and the burrito just the right size for a light morning breakfast. My friend and I sat in the back seating area and enjoyed the sunshine and peaceful space. They also have seating inside that felt cozy and comfortable for small groups. I loved my visit and look forward to going back to grab another morning coffee with friends. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

I had the Mole Poblano Wrap, which tasted amazing and homemade, unlike the processed foods at other cafes. I also tried the Galleta Maria Latte with oat milk and vanilla cold foam, and it was fantastic--I could tell it was made with love. It had the perfect balance between coffee and sweetness. I've found my new cafe! And they have outlets at every table along the wall, so you can come in and do homework or work. read more

The food is okay I think I would maybe go back if I was craving it but the coffee was not it for me. I love small businesses and hope they improve but quality was not there the time I visited unfortunately. Will maybe try again and review but with inflation did not see it worth buying. read more

Bummed I didn't take pictures of our food. We ordered a Turkey Sandwich, French toast and a mole burrito, Mocha Frappe and Vanilla Latte. The drinks were good and the food. The girls at the counter were nice in explaining the menu and taking our order. The space is small but sits a couple of people at a time. Will be going back. Please emote: there is parking thru the back alley. We didn't know and parked around the neighborhood. read more

I adore this cafe! It's small, but feels super cozy & welcoming. It was my first time visiting, as my friend was hosted a Palentine's celebration. I'm really indecisive, so the cashier helped me decide between a few house specials for my drink. Her Sweet Like Honey Latte rec amazing and my Mole Poblano Burrito was delicious! We had such a great time. I'll definitely be visiting again. 10/10 would recommend! read more

Very friendly service each time I've been here. The cafe de olla is my favorite. The movie wrap is tasty too!

Great café, definitely a must try. I got the chipotle chicken sandwich and the tiramisu latte.. both were so good. I even bought a café de olla syrup for my coffee at home and I've been using it every morning. Highly recommend this spot! read more

Such a disappointment. I got a tiramisu latte and a caffe de olla latte and honestly they tasted like water. I paid 17$ for two drinks and I expected a quality drink. The presentation was there but not that flavor. the drink tasted so watered down, no flavor, no caffeine in it, not a beverage quality wouldnt recommend read more

Coffee was not good at all honestly didn't take more than 3 sips of my cafe de olla was so milky no type of flavor :/

The chicken chipotle sandwich was amazing will go again. And service will good as well.

Food was incredible for the price point and staff was very nice. Had the potato/chorizo burrito and the Agua de Jamaica and both were delicious. Also grabbed a jar of their house-made salsa macha on the way out. Has a good spice and the flavor is amazing. read more

Me and a friend came a couple weeks ago and had a great experience. The whole place is very cute and welcoming and has a beautifully decorated outdoor patio to sit at. The staff was also very kind and even allowed us to try the French toast after we realized that we'd missed the time that they stop serving it. The chorizo con papa burrito was the real star and a MUST. Though, the best thing I tried there is the mocha frappe. I've been craving it since and will definitely be going back for the both of them soon. I have been telling my friends and family about it and would definitely recommend all to try this place out! read more

I had a bad experience here the one and only time I stopped by. First of all parking sucks but whatever. There was only one employee at the time which is also fine but it was so unwelcoming. I had my autistic son with me at the time and another couple first in line and I never even got to order and not once was greeted or told they'd be with me after a few minutes of standing around (cause there's also like 4 seats) I just left without ever even speaking to anyone. I don't even care to post a bed review or anything until they deleted my comment on their TikTok mentioning something about it just to let others know not to stop by here if you're in a rich if have impatient kids. I understand that the world doesn't revolve around my child's disabilities but to delete comments is insane. read more

This is such a cute cafe, and the staff are really nice. I've been there multiple times and always get the mole poblano wrap, which is a must try because it's so good! I've also had the Jamaica, which is refreshing and tart, just how I like it. If you like it sweeter, though, the staff is happy to adjust it to your preference. read more
