Came here on a whim because our other breakfast spot was packed - Did a quick search on Yelp & found this spot! It looks like this place is pretty new based on their Yelp business profile. The cafe has a shared private lot with other businesses. The business itself is very aesthetic & PINK! My favorite color. So I was definitely in love when I saw the interior. IG/social media worthy place to take photos. Everything comes out so aesthetically cute. The one thing that stood out to me the most during our entire visit though - was our waitress, HAZEL! Young, bubbly, friendly, professional, & high energy vibes. Which just makes you wanna match her energy. She made us feel comfy the second we walked in. She provided her recommendations & made sure we were taken care of the entire time. We'd visit here again based on her service alone. We ordered the birria omelette with a side of panela, birria chilaquiles, a mazapán coffee, lemonade, & sprite. Everything came out quickly! They had chili oil on our table with salt & pepper. We LOVE our spice. So the chili oil, without needed to ask was chef's kiss. My husband enjoyed his food & finished everything. My birria omelette was delish! The mazapán iced coffee was also great! Definitely a hidden gem! Can't wait to return to try other menu items. read more

Vica's Café absolutely blew me away. The pink pancakes are not just eye‑catching -- they're incredibly fluffy, flavorful, and unlike anything you'll find anywhere else. A perfect balance of sweet, soft, and delicious in every bite. I also ordered the huevos al gusto, and they were cooked perfectly. Fresh ingredients, great seasoning, and you can tell everything is made with real care. Simple dish, but executed at a level that makes it memorable. The service was warm, the atmosphere was cozy, and the food was outstanding. If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping by. Vica's Café is officially one of my new favorite breakfast spots. read more

Last minute Mother's Day brunch at Vica's Cafe and they were able to accommodate all 8 of us with no problem. This place is so pretty, cozy, and aesthetic. From the moment we walked in, the servers made us feel so welcomed. Hazel, Alexa, and Arlette were all so attentive, sweet, patient, and constantly checked on us to make sure everything was perfect. The customer service honestly made the experience even better. You can tell they genuinely care about their guests. We were seated quickly and they truly went above and beyond to make Mother's Day feel special. The café de olla and café de mazapán did NOT disappoint. We ordered: Birria tacos Birria quesadillas Green enchiladas Steak & eggs Pink pancakes Churro waffles Everything was amazinggg. To top it off, they surprised us with mango strawberry tres leches for Mother's Day and it was SO good. Definitely coming back. read more

I am baffled and don't quite understand how this establishment has so many positive reviews raving about the delicious food and quality service when we just had a completely different experience. I don't get the hype, I was exited to try this new spot but it's a pass for me. To begin, this is not a "cafe", it's more of a brunch establishment. I was expecting them to be unique sort of like Galu because I've heard the food is really good but after visiting I can confidently say it's just another overpriced trendy local spot. The biggest let down for me was the coffee options, it's supposed to be a "cafe" yet they have very limited coffee options. Cafe de olla my mom got tasted like watered down sugared coffee. I had a mazapán latte and its was mid at most, clumpy consistency. I was already annoyed because our drinks arrived after our food and to top it off it was cold. The only hope I had was for the food to be good but it was just bland, salty, and flavorless. Birria tacos are greasy, heavily condimented, with an odd aftertaste. My chilaquiles were just as bland no flavor, beans dry and my plate looked nothing like the pictures I see here on Yelp. My plate seemed rushed and my eggs were not sunny side up like I requested. The Dubai mini things are okay but it doesn't make up for the unflavored foods, minor inconveniences, and the extra slow service we experienced. Our server she was sweet and friendly but slow. Furthermore, she had zero sense of urgency and lacks coordination skills. I hate to be constantly asking for things that a server should know their table needs for example; silverware, napkins, refills etc. They have potential as their establishment is aesthetically pleasing and nicely decorated but they have way too many little details that need to be addressed. To top off our negative experience the table we were sat on was sticky and had an unpleasant smell, it reeked of old dirty rag. I perhaps could've overlooked the negligent service and the stinky rag stench if the food was good but unfortunately that was not the case. Sadly, I don't think I'll ever be back, a cheap coffee from McDonald's is much better than the cafe de olla they have to offer here. If you easily become hangry and lack patience, save yourself the stress! I don't recommend you visit this place at all, you've been warned! read more

First time here, love the vibe. Pink & girly. It gives girls date but they do have items available for kids so that's cool. The food was delicious, a bit salty on the steak but it's enjoyable with the pairing for potatoes and eggs. Pancakes are a little over cooked but they topping flavoring is great. I do see room for improvement in the service, such as attentiveness and sense urgency. They do ask how is everything frequently but miss refilling drinks, having proper utensils before being asked for the stuff. I will definitely be back read more

I'm excited for new new place being open and so close to my house, I went there for the first time already and I gotta say I did liked it a lot. So far I just tried the tampiqueña plate and it did not disappointed me. Mean was soft and full of flavor, as well as the enchilada and it comes with delicious potatoes too. Go check it out, they have many options for breakfast from sweet to salty delicious food. Vica's cafe, I'll make you guys my kitchen to wake up to a nice breakfast from now on. Service was fast and polite, very nice modern look. read more
