As others have said, the Spiced Mocha is out of this world. Espresso with Guatemalan chocolate infused with cayenne, ginger, and cardamom, and milk of choice. I am always on the lookout for espresso drinks with spiced heat, so when I read the review of their other location (closed for renovation or repairs I think), I knew I had to go. We tried going to the other location and I know it's absurd, but I was so bummed when I thought I was out of luck because it was closed. Then realized they had a coffee patio very nearby, and luckily got there before closing. The owners are warm and passionate people, and the drink lived up to my expectations. I think exceeded them actually because I was kind of on a stupid cloud 9 level of euphoria grocery shopping after. I will be back, again and again. Will be hard to try anything else because the spiced mocha is so good, but I'm sure their black coffee and espresso shots are heaven. Can't wait. read more

I was on my way to work, and I saw a small coffee booth on the side of the street, and I decided to stop by and get some coffee. There is a small patio for customer to sit and drink their coffee. It seems very relaxing. I ordered ice matcha, and a cold brew latte. The owner asked if I would like to try their homemade vanilla syrup in my matcha, and I told them yes as I love homemade food. The matcha came out perfect, and it has a strong taste of matcha! The cold brew latter has a strong coffee taste too. The owners were very friendly, and they were very personable. I will stop by again. Street parking only. read more

Wonderful family-owned and operated coffee "shop." I use quotes because there doesn't appear to be an interior. They're set up in front of a bicycle shop but it's not a pop-up. There are tables and chairs set up on the sidewalk as well as a nice shaded area with tables on the side of the building. The family is Salvadoran and only uses beans from their coffee farm in El Salvador that's been in their family for generations. I had a fascinating conversation with them about the history of their family and the history of their home country. Lovely people. My new coffee spot. read more

Was looking for a coffee place to hit on the way back home before hitting the road and found this place. We were immediately welcomed in with open arms by who I believe was the owner. She showed us their art room explaining the deep rich culture of coffee and salvadoran history. The coffee was amazing and you can really taste the quality. Overall experience and food were amazing and they have really nice baked goods as well. I'd recommend to anyone that wants to try something new. Thank you Cafe Juaya from Niche noah and the gang read more

Amazing service, friendly barista and very informative as where they get how they make their coffee. The coffee shop is small and its on Virgil near courage bagels so once you get your high priced bagel go an support them.

Coffee was so good and their designs outstanding! I will definitely be coming back. read more

The coffee was deliscious! The whole operation is family- owned and operated, but here and abroad, and I really love supporting families in their adventures. But more than that, they turn out a wonderful product! The service was great, with the barista giving a whole explanation of their coffee farms and who does what, explaining their different aging/drying/fermentation processes, and really giving a rundown on the whole thing. They have a small courtyard area where you can chill a but, but it's a really lovely hole-in-the-wall type place. If your in the area, give Cafe Juayua. read more

Cafe Juayua - Menu - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Very friendly team. It is a family owned and run small business with SUPER DELICIOUS Salvadorean and a mix of Guatemalan Coffee. I usually get the bags of coffee beans: Heirloom, Honey, and other mixes and make it at home. We drink our coffee black and this coffee is so smooth that it is like drinking hot chocolate. There are no jitters or shakes you get from lower quality coffee like the kind they sell at the big chain coffee store. We have been drinking this coffee for over ten years and have followed the store wherever it moves. Please support this small family business so that they can remain sustainable and we keep an excellent source of delicious coffee right here in our community. They're located in the same space with the bicycle shop just west of Poplar on Huntington Drive. read more

I drive Huntington Drive on the daily and saw a big white banner with the word "COFFEE" on it. I love supporting local business and I LOVE a good cup of coffee. I made it a point to stop today and it did not disappointment. I ordered a Salvadorean "Americano" and it was seriously delicious, flavorful, bold but not too strong. I also picked up a "quesadilla" cupcake. I will definitely stop here again. Great service, the barista was very friendly and sweet and the café is outdoors only; however, this provides it's own ambiance. It was a very refreshing feeling to breathe in the fresh air and wait for a good cup of coffee. read more

I haven't been to the Virgil location, but I stopped by their new pop up location next to Cycle N Motion--this is the best cortado I've had in a long, long time. The milk (oat for me) was perfectly steamed, the ratio was perfect, and the flavor is so smooth. This was such a pleasure to stumble upon. The woman taking orders was delightful and told me a bit about where the beans come from in El Salvador. I will go out of my way to come back here. Lovely to sit outside on the patio, amazing coffee, all around what a coffee experience should be! read more
