Yia Caffe is an absolute gem located in Boyle Heights. You order and pay at the front window, then pick up your coffee at a separate window to the left. There is a cute little courtyard filled with picnic tables that's perfect for communal seating. Between the colorful murals and the abundance of plants and trees, you feel like you've been transported to a hidden oasis. It's a very relaxing spot to get some work done or study for a final. Plus, they're dog-friendly, with treats and water readily available. I originally planned on ordering the Mazapán latte since I love anything nut-related, but upon arriving, the Horchata Latte ($6.50) was recommended to me. It had a lovely creamy texture, and the cinnamon stick inside provided a fantastic boost of flavor. While it's definitely on the sweet side, it was the perfect pick-me-up. The staff were friendly and kind, even though they stay tucked away inside. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!
This little spot in the corner is a wonderful place to stop by and grab a cup of coffee. My sister got me the Oaxaca Mocha and I got the Spanish Latte with Oat milk. Pretty tasty! There is a little patio with ample greenery and trees to relax under some shades and beat the heat during summer. The staff are helpful and welcoming, plus it's always great when they're service is quick. There is street parking around, but may be a bit limited. Stop by and support your local coffee shop.
This establishment is on a corner, almost missed drove right past it, it was a little challenging finding street parking. I did visit on a weekend which didn't help the parking situation. You Walk up and order to go or eat there in the cute outside eating area. Oaxacan tamales de pollo con mole are only served on the weekends. I was curious to compare with the Oaxacan Tamales that I had a few weeks ago in Oaxaca. I was impressed, a pretty good balance of sweet and spicy and rich and smoky. 8 out of 10. It was a little bit on the smaller side than the ones in Oaxaca, but that's to be expected. I also ordered a Oaxaca coffee, the coffee was good but It will need its own review for next time.
Yia Caffe is super cute and feels like they have always been a part of the eastside. The staff are friendly and the patio is so comforting. I loved their strawberry matcha and their tamales de mole hit the spot. I'm not a huge coffee person but I still feel compelled to come back here and try the rest of their drinks :-)
Érase una vez... after visiting Oaxaca, I returned home and found a gem right here in East LA: Yia Caffé. From the moment you arrive, it invites you to be present. So much care and intention woven into this place. On weekends you can feel the energy of people moving through from opening to closing. Today I needed a little more sweetness in my life, so I ordered the iced Mazapán oat milk latte with peanut butter foam -- magic -- alongside the Tamales de Mole, a weekend-only special. The sweet balanced the savory perfectly. Pansa llena, corazón contento. The flavor profile caters to a range of palates. My partner went for the Oaxacan Mocha oat milk latte -- also highly recommend the Cacao de Mi Corazón smoothie and the Spanish Latte. Know that every drink is made to order, crafted with intention. This isn't fast food. Give yourself the time to enjoy it. Open 7am-5pm daily, they're not stretching themselves thin for the masses, they're building a solid foundation. And it shows. The consistency keeps me coming back. For days when you can't escape the grind, DoorDash pre-order is a must. For days when you want an actual escape... tucked on a busy corner amid freeways, trains, and the hum of East LA, this place carves out a sanctuary. Lush greenery, a pace that slows you down, street parking in the neighborhood, and the satisfaction of supporting a local small business that opens its doors to the community. Oh, and they keep dog treats at the counter. I snagged one for my fur baby-- a small reminder of how beautifully they treat dogs in Oaxaca. Yia Caffé -- a treat, every single time.
Came across this spot on Yelp while working in a different neighborhood and in desperate need of caffeine. Now they have no parking lot and the streets they are on are not necessarily street parking friendly. However I was able to get a spot for a quick to go order. I went with their iced horchata latte. Prices are ok. The coffee was robust on espresso flavor and the horchata flavor profile took a back seat. Still good though! They have a patio you can sit at as well.
Best thing about this place is the location/setup! It's super easy to stop by when you're walking your dog, or on the move in general. Ordering & pickup are outside at the windows, and there's outdoor seating as well. The drinks were good, but there was a bit of a wait. I assume its because they only had one barista working at the time, but I didn't mind. Through the window, I could see the barista measuring out the syrups on a scale, and doing their due diligence of putting (looked homemade!) cold foams back into the fridge after every drink. If you like coffee shops that dedicate extra time & care into their drinks, this is definitely a spot to visit.
This place is right on the corner of 3rd and Indiana st. Yia Caffe is a Oaxacan owned coffee shop in East LA. I came to try the Oaxacan mocha and why not try a tamale while I'm here. They only have them on the weekend too. I must say it's a must try the mole is sweet but the spicy overwhelms the sweetness. Great flavor. The masa was nice and firm. A must try when you visit Yia Caffe. I'm not a coffee connoisseur but I tried the oaxacan mocha which was good. Little bitter for those of you who like your coffee sweet. Dog friendly patio. There are even treats for dogs on the pick up counter. Not too bad of a wait after we ordered just took in the ambiance of the patio with plenty of seating to enjoy your coffee. Parking is street only no parking lot. Come early enough you can find parking in the neighborhood. I parked by the lawnmower shop. Enjoy your coffee.
Tried it for the first time and the Oaxaca Mocha is q 10 out of 10. The staff was polite and answered a few of my questions great service. The ambiance is unique. The vine umbrellas the entire patio if you're a nature lover you will love it.
Yia is a gem in the heart of Boyle Heights! 10/10! The Spanish latte is my go to drink and recommend a try. The ambiance is casual and makes it a great spot if you're meeting up with friends for a coffee date. The service we continuously receive from Leo and Jorge is wonderful with great customer service. They're both so willing to provide recommendations and suggestions.
Rose butterfly matcha is really good. There's no parking lot and drinks do take awhile. I always park around the corner it's really hard to find parking so I always take the drink to go but the outdoor patio is cute.
Been here when it was another name, so not sure if its the same people running this place, but the coffee is still good to me and my favorite go to is OAXACAN MOCHA. A must try for those that like that bold cacao taste

Yia's coffee was great! I've been wanting to try it for a while and finally made it in. The service was nice and quick, which was a plus. The back patio was so nice and shaded, with music playing, and honestly made me feel like I was somewhere tropical. If I were still in school, this would definitely be a spot I'd come to get some work done. The only downside is that there isn't much parking since it's located on a corner surrounded by residential streets, so plan accordingly. Overall, I really enjoyed it and can't wait to come back and try something new! read more

This was a great spot for a midday pick me up. It is on the corner of 3rd and Indiana so parking can be tricky. I did find some across the street in a 20 minute zone which is fine since I was taking it to go. I ordered the pineapple and mango smoothie. It was thick and they gave me a boba straw. Now I see why. It was perfect for the heat and a great way to cool off. It was not too sweet and fresh. It reminded me of the smoothie version of the dole whip soft serve. The customer service was friendly and efficient. I definitely want to come back and try other items or even work from the seated area. read more

Super easy to find business, west of train station, across the street. Literally on NW corner Street parking only. Can be not easy to snag Order at counter behind a window, can barely detect if staff is male or female Super professional & hospitable Staff Coffee took a min (& we both ordered regular black coffee, one iced & one hot) Average prices, don't remember exact amount. They have a container of napkins by pick up window & man were these napkins super thick like if you were eating ribs or wings) Hefty seating (only outdoors), like long picnic tables So much lush lushness in their patio !! So much beautiful greenery , so beautiful & such a vibe! While chillin for one hr approx, we witnessed a young looking dude, thin, med height, white passing, & he stood against the metal fence, east end of patio, facing East & peeing. Totally recognized the movement of shaking it off & zipping up When he turned to walk away, I blurted in a disturbed agitated tone "did you just pee?" & he said in a matter of fact tone "no! I'm not an asshole" So I'm deducting one star cuz the whole no public restroom thing is unfair & unjust & cruel I understand there's a Metro Rail Train station across the street so many assume that nasty humans make up the majority of Train riders so ofc public bathrooms at a business across the station is a death wish blah blah But I'm a customer. I decided to invest $10 approx for your goods & vibez. & I can't pee in your toilet? Anywayzzzzz I'll return & recommend for the lush vibez but I'm still unhappy at the no BATHROOM for PAYING CUSTOMERS read more

This coffee shop is tucked away on the corner of a moderately busy street, but once inside, it feels like a quiet escape. The outdoor patio is very charming, creating a green, oasis like atmosphere that makes you forget the surrounding traffic. The customer service was excellent, and the menu offers somewhat authentic Oaxacan inspired food. During my visit, I ordered an iced vanilla latte with oat milk and requested cinnamon powder on top. I was pleasantly surprised by both the presentation and the color of my coffee. It was just right for me, as someone who likes to see visually the coffee strength of a drink, the color of my drink made a great first impression. They also added a cinnamon stick and anise at no extra charge, which enhanced the drink and made it feel very cozy. I'm looking forward to returning to try other drinks, especially their matcha latte. The only drawback is the street parking, which may be inconvenient for some visitors. read more

I was really excited to try this place out as it's trending on most foodie accounts. To my dismay, it was quite disappointing. I had their Oaxcan mocha and I would give it a 2/5. Nothing was great about it, and it wasn't very tasteful. However, I did enjoy their back patio area. The location prior to it only left it accessible to law enforcement, but now it's a cute area to hang out and chill. Reminded me of how it used to be back when the raspado spot was here. read more

pick up coffee window with outdoor shaded seating options in the back! staff were super friendly, helpful, offered suggestions and answered all the questions i had. I asked for 1/2 sweet but they explained how they sweetened the drinks and that it was already not too sweet, which they were correct! it was perfect without adjustments. The quality of the coffee was AMAZING, and the price is average (maybe a bit cheaper) compared to other spots in LA. didnt love the oaxacan mocha but the mazapan was good, with little peanut bits at the bottom. read more

W coffee spot!!! Me and my gf went for valentines yesterday, service was fast, and lowkey will be our new spot. I got the mazapán latte and it was GOOD but wish it had more mazapán flavor or sweetness I'd say. We also got the matcha horchata and it was 10/10. Horchata tastes fresh/authentic. Cute seating too with lots of plants and art. read more
The iced americano was delicious and so was the hot oaxacan mocha latte lightly sweetened. This place would definitely be 5 stars if the wait wasn't so long, we waited at least 20 minutes to get our coffee and it's hard to hear your name if you're sitting next to the music. Overall ambiance was good, it you're having a slow day I would definitely recommend this place but maybe save it for another day if you're looking for a quick cup of coffee. There is no parking lot but you can try to find parking in the neighborhood. read more
Located on the corner of S Indiana St & E 3rd St. Beware of parallel street parking. For reference, on 3rd St. from 8-10am is street sweeping (No Parking) on Wed for one side and Tues on the other side. Staff is so friendly, there's a bell right at the window you can ring if you need attendance by staff. Tons of seating in rear shaded by a beautiful Wisteria Plant. Dog friendly with treats by the pick up window! I will and want to come back to try their Mazapan Latte, they unfortunately ran out when I visited today. Oaxacan Mocha -you really get shaving chunks of Oaxacan chocolate that settles at the bottom when you sip the drink. Bitterness from the chocolate pairs well and makes it perfectly sweet. Matcha Horchata -matcha shines through the horchata. You can taste both. Not too sweet either! Strawberry Matcha -a bit sweet from the strawberry syrup. I would ask for it to be less sweet next time. But overall tolerable. read more

Found this place on TikTok and decided to stop by on the way downtown. I tried the Matcha Horchata and Spanish Latte and both were delicious. The matcha horchata was well balanced and I appreciated it not being overly sweet. I went on a Sunday afternoon and had to wait a bit for our drinks but they have a cute little outdoor seating area to wait in. I look forward to coming back to try more of their drinks. read more
Stopped by here on Monday afternoon. It was pretty busy, and there is plenty of street parking. The employees were very nice and welcoming. This coffee shop is in a corner and they have outside seating in a very shaded area. I ordered the mazapan latte and it was unique - nutty and not too sweet. The coffee was strong and had great flavor. read more

Such a nice hidden hole in wall coffee shop. They have a really nice shaded patio in the back with good music playing that makes you feel like you're in a different place. The coffee is also really good. I had their horchata iced latte. They used REAL canela in the coffee which is something I had never seen before. The staff was also nice and knowledgeable of the coffee. I will definitely be back. read more

A cute little spot with good coffee, pastries, and friendly staff. Street parking can be a bit tricky on a Sunday afternoon, but worth the search. Their Oaxacan Mocha with oatmilk is delish. I like that it wasn't super sweet. Can't wait to try something else from their menu. read more

Great spot for a creative coffee or tea. All their drinks sound really good, and the signature drinks I tried were deliscious! The service was prompt and friendly, which is always a huge plus, but they were also willing to help navigate some of the questions I had about their menu items. The tables out back offer a great spot to get out of the hot sun and enjoy your drink and it's a really chill place to take a break. Overall, I strongly recommend you give it a shot! read more
