Very nice staff and a great Ube lemonade. Apologies for utterly destroying your restroom!

I got a vanilla matcha latte, but unfortunately you don't taste any vanilla at all. So I didn't really like how my drink came out, especially since it's supposed to be a vanilla matcha. The guy cashier was very friendly and nice but the girl making my drink wasn't as friendly, i asked a question and she gave me a dirty look. Maybe she was having a bad day, Im not really sure, but didn't feel welcoming. Their matcha is already premade just letting you know. Matcha was good but not sweet. So if you like strong matcha this might be for you. The cafe was cute and clean as well! read more

Café de Leche - Vanilla Matcha Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Los Angeles. Love. Amor. After drinking this coffee I can't go to the big coffeee house down the street anymore. The coffee here is single source, smooth as silk. Also, they roast their own coffee, so maybe I'm tripping on that in a good way. When I leave town, I kind of miss this coffee lol. The coffee house vibe here is super comfy. You can stay and work on your laptop like I do sometimes. The people who work here are super friendly also, and they're quick to help you as soon as you get in. Love this place and I hope that the quality and the service does not change your radically in the future. End of Yelp. read more

Small, local coffee shop with good quality coffee, and friendly staff. Calm and slightly upbeat vibe. Nice place to relax, read, work. I don't remember the name of my latte but it has star anise and orange peel. I opted for oat milk. They have almond milk too. It was delicious! The atmosphere is fine, just a bit crowded and messy towards the back with coffee beans and an actual in-house roaster. So, while a bit messy, it's also unique and cool too. Not a 5 bc it's on the small side and bc it feels crowded in the back. If it were more open I think I'd give it 5. read more

Café de Leche - Latte Latte Latte Campesino? I don't actually recall the name. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Café de Leche has been a staple in Highland Park since 2008. The name was inspired by Anya's mother (Mama Rosa), and the story behind it is very cute. Their coffee is sourced from partner farms in Nicaragua, Ethiopia, & El Salvador and is roasted on site. HLP is the original location. There are others in Hollywood & Pasadena. This charming café sits on a corner in a historic brick building. Inside you'll find festive artwork on the wall, bench seating, a comfy couch, and a huge roaster in the back. They also sell their signature blends for you to enjoy at home. Fresh pastries are available for you to enjoy, and outdoor seating so you can relax with your pup. A delightful smell of spices permeated the air when I walked in. I asked the nice man behind the counter what smelled so good. He told me the barista was preparing a Latte Campesino, which consisted of orange, spices, and brown sugar. I was sold. I asked for a small ($5.50) with almond milk (.75) and browsed while I waited. I took a sip and was pleased that the latte tasted as good as it smelled. The beans were expertly roasted. It was a light roast without any bitterness. The foam was creamy, and the brown sugar added a touch of sweetness. It was perfect the perfect way to start my day. *Metered street parking & residential. read more

Café de Leche - Vanilla Latte Ube Matcha Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Parked next to this cafe this morning with plans to check out Kumquat but noticed this cafe was open already with no wait. Glad we tried it - we got the Thai coffee (cold brew with coconut condensed milk) and the horchata latte. Both drinks were not overly sweet and pretty strong. The horchata latte could've used a bit more ice but otherwise would definitely come back again. Decent sizes for great prices - hard to find in LA these days! read more

Chill vibes, Latinx-inspired drinks, and some of the friendliest baristas around. I stopped by on a quiet Friday morning and lucked out with the cozy couch (there's only one!). The atmosphere was calm, the music good, and the service fast and welcoming. Tried the oat milk latte -- not quite my fave (a little thin and slightly burnt), but I'm picky. The whole milk cappuccino, on the other hand, was smooth and balanced. The menu is simple but highlights community with specials like the Horchata con Espresso and Mexican Mocha. Bonus: They roast their own beans, sell them in-store, and have cute merch. Overall: not my best latte, but I'd come back for the cappuccino, the vibe, and a second shot at their signature drinks. read more

First timer! I came because I was looking to try a local coffee shop and this place didn't disappoint. The decor is cute and the place is very airy. I ordered an Americano because I think if a coffee shop has a bad Americano all their drinks will be terrible since it is just made of espresso and water. My Americano was delicious and I'll definitely be back. read more

I'm having trouble understanding the modern coffee shop in LA. You source good beans and roast them, but settle for the shittiest, cheapest, conventional, GMO-hormoned-out grain-feed-lot milk available. And only one style of dairy milk, and that's whole. Why skimp on half the drink? Would it completely obliterate the margins to get some quality milk to go with the quality beans? I mean, it ain't like these coffee drinks are 2 or 3 bucks. They are like 6-7 bucks a cup. This coffee shop hilariously uses the word leche (milk) in their name to top it off. read more

Came here while waiting for a table at Belles. Great little coffee shop. Great lattes, friendly service, chill vibe. They gave my toddler a sticker :) read more

Good coffee, great location. They do throw parties here and I think that's pretty awesome. I love when a place serves in glassware for here.

is positioned in a very good spot. It's on a corner street, and it's a super cute building with a super cute name that really catches your attention. The inside is also very welcoming. There's enough seating area, big windows with lots of light. They roast their own beans and appear to care about where they're sourced from. The espresso shots were good but could've been better. The drink itself was not entirely satisfying. I got a horchata latte. First of all, if you pride yourself on ingredients and you're not making fresh horchata, then I'm not really sure what's going on. Some people can get away with the powder if it's good enough or mixed properly. The drink was grainy and obviously from a powder. I like my drinks on the darker, stronger side. However, it pretty much tasted like there was nothing else but the four shots of espresso and almond milk--absolutely no taste of horchata. The service was lacking--ambivalent at best. I'm not sure if the girl would've cared if I just fell over and died, let alone had any questions about the place or the drinks. It was disappointing, to say the least. I really had high hopes and excitement when I pulled over. Maybe on a different day, with a different drink, I might have a different experience. But until I find myself over there, I think a mediocre three stars is fitting. read more

Good espresso, friendly staff. Parking can be a bit tricky depending on when you go. I think they could be more time efficient if their staff were more organized to stay on a station (one person on register not them switching all over). The wait was kind of long... not to get your drink but to place an order... and there werent even that many of us in line. I had a simple order of oat vanilla latte with cinnamon.. was out in less than a minute.. but forgot cinnamon.. and the guy who took my order on register even made it ans wrote cinnamon on the cup lol uhh.. also their large has the same amount of espresso as a regular. I will say their espresso was great! Im a real stickler for good espresso. I suggest them if you are in the area and have time read more

Very solid coffee shop! My girlfriend and I both ordered a latte with extra shots and substituted for oat milk. Our drinks were delicious but what made it better was the atmosphere. It feels so cozy and inviting inside. Love the location and how close it is to restaurants if you happen to be hungry during your coffee run! read more

Café de Leche - two cups of coffee on a table - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Horchata espresso so good. Makes me feel dumb for never having thought of that before. Staff is really nice every time I go in (Even one time when I just had to pee, angels). There's no WiFi so I couldn't come here everyday to work, but it's a perfect place to meet a friend or grind out some reading or writing. read more

We are really picky about our coffee beans and this place is one of our favorites. Great drip coffee and espresso drinks!

You can tell they care about the espresso shot pull and the customer service was amazing! read more

Horchata con espresso was yummy ! They add cinnamon on top. Service was great as well. Interior is cute and they have a nice couch you sit at and tables as well. There's street metered parking or a parking lot where you have to pay about a 5 min walk. Will be back! read more

Unfortunately I've been underwhelmed both times trying this place :( All the staff is really nice and I want so badly to like it! But the coffee/tea just isn't strong enough for me. The first time I went I tried the chai chata, and it wasn't as flavorful as I'd hoped. The second time I got the horchata con espresso, and honestly, didn't taste either. It really just tasted like milk--not bad, but not what I wanted. read more

If I could give less stars I would. This place discriminates against certain individuals. Went in and was discriminated due to my beliefs and my appearance. Maybe that's why my drinks tasted horrible? Don't bother coming here. read more

Cute little coffee shop among the many coffee shops in HP. I live in HP and am a huge coffee drinker so I make my way through these coffee streets. Today I was on York to pick up a bagel from Belle's and as I was waiting in line for my bagel decided to walk around to pick up a coffee. I normally drink my coffee black but was intrigued by their cold brew menu. I told the barista that I was curious by their Thai style cold brew but was hesitant to try it because I didn't want something too sweet. He sweetly offered me a sample. It was a perfect sweet (not so sweet) treat for a Sunday afternoon. I'll definitely be returning here for coffee next time I'm in the mood for a nice bagel from Belle's read more

Can't wait to go back. can get busy, Simple menu but they offer some pastries, loved the blueberry muffin.

DRINKS: My favorite is the iced Chai Chata with oat milk! So sweet & so yummy. I've also tried their spinach feta croissant which is a solid accompaniment. 10/10 SERVICE: The staff does a fantastic job at greeting upon entry. They're also on it about asking whether you want a small or large, iced or hot, etc. Speedy service as well despite them having a full house on weekends. 10/10 AMBIANCE: Nice spot with indoor and outdoor seating. Indoors is rather calm but work-like/productivity based while as outside it's more of a "sit and observe humans in peace" type of vibe. 10/10 THANK YOU HARVEY & DANIEL!! read more

Highland Park doin the damn thing with another amazing coffee shop! Cafe de Leche is a cute Mexican themed, hip coffee shop. The "coffee and equality for all" sign outside says it all, they truly have a very welcoming atmosphere. The vibes are all there. A clean and bright shop with plenty of seating inside and outside. Service was top tier! I went in with intentions to get the horchata con espresso but after chatting with the barista for a bit, I was torn between two. He was kind enough to give me a sample of the Thai style iced coffee. I love Thai iced tea so add in espresso, game changer. Similar vibes to a dirty chai. I ended up going with the horchata con espresso and man, I wish I lived here for this drink. Horchata coffees are typically really sweet. This espresso cut through that heavy sweetness perfectly! I love the concise menu with great specialty options. I hope to find myself here again! read more

The cappuccino with regular milk and 1.5 sugars was the best captive ever had. The smooth and creamy warm foam just was a surprising delight. I also tried the horchata latte and I recommend it iced!

Was in the area grabbing food and going to some shops and decided to stop by to grab some coffee. We got the chai chata with oat milk and the thai style cold brew. The chai chata was good, but slightly watery. It did have good flavor either way. The thai style cold brew was amazing I loved the unique flavor of the coconut condensed milk that they used. The service was fast and the employees were friendly. There is minimal seating inside so we sat on the couch by the front and then continued walking around the area. There is also plenty of street parking outside of this location. read more

Café de Leche - Chai Chata - Small and Thai Style Cold Brew - Small - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Super hip coffee shop in the LA area. What drew me in was their "coffee and equality for all" sign. They also enforced their covid policies (i.e., show proof of vaccination before dining in, mask wearing), which I appreciated. In terms of service, everyone was super nice and the drinks came out quickly. The space was a great place to get some work done (music and background noise wasn't overwhelmingly loud, less chaotic than the other shops in the area). Orders: Hot matcha latte with oat milk, unsweetened: I LOVED this. I don't like sweet drinks, so this was absolutely perfect for me. Great flavor and consistency. Hot mexi mocha with almond milk: My partner said it was a well balanced drink. Not too much mocha, not too strong, and you can drink it without getting tired of it. A+. Shoutout to the barista in the orange glasses - you make bomb drinks and we appreciate you. read more

I was a regular at the Altadena location, before the location was destroyed in the Eaton Fire, we lost our home as well. I happened to be in the area and decided to stop by. I didn't realize how emotional I would get when I entered the location and saw familiar faces. It was heart warming to see Ethan. He actually remembered my order. The coffee is as good as ever. The location is great, much larger than the Altadena location, they roast the coffee here and the smell of the fresh roasted beans is amazing. One comment is they need to check their websites to insure they are up to date and accurate. read more

Stopped by Sunday morning being greeted and helped by a super friendly cashier. I had some questions being my first time here and she was kind enough to help and offer suggestions for flavors and what their drinks contain. I ordered the horchata con espresso and she asked if I wanted cinnamon added as if elevates the flavors and it's a popular addition so I said go for it! This coffee was amazing! Without being overly sweet it had a nice blend and balance between the sweet horchata, bitter espresso and nutty cinnamon. It was such a smooth and tasty drink that not many places get right. Seems they actually know how to brew coffee, make horchata, and combine it into one drink here! read more
