Food and drinks are great and always a relaxed atmosphere inside. Service is quick and friendly

Mixed pros and cons! + quick ordering + delicious coffee + menu options - parking - food (bagel sandwich) took a LONG time to come out - no high chairs read more

I was really disappointed with the horchata coffee latte. It tasted like straight milk -- if I had stayed home and poured myself a glass of milk, the experience would have been about the same. I ordered this drink because Starbucks had a version, and I figured an authentic take on it would be even better. Unfortunately, I didn't taste any horchata flavor, coffee, or anything that made it feel special. It was mostly just milk with barely any coffee flavor. I didn't try the food, so I can't comment on that, but the coffee alone was absolutely not worth the trip. I won't be coming back. The employee who helped me was really nice, and the place itself seemed really nice. Unfortunately, the only thing I cared about was the coffee, and I was not impressed. read more

Love supporting small neighborhood businesses! Third spaces like this are so essential to community building. I came here for brunch with a friend and really enjoyed the ambiance. Pretty spacious for larger groups and was not crowded on a weekend morning. My coffee was tasty. I do wish the bowl had a little more flavor, especially seasoning on the meat but it was pretty filling. The bagels are locally from the Bagelry which is a plus! read more

Finally made it here! A bit confused when I came in but apparently there's plenty of seating all over & the order counter located in the back area. Got Dulce de Panela Latte and it's delicious. There are Summer special drinks as well but that'll be for future visit. Friendly customer service too :) read more

First time at Centrado Cafe, won't be my last. I like the vibe at this cafe, lots of seating, even though people like to sit around with their laptops. Nice little space of items to sell to include coffee. The food was delicious, we ordered two camo bowls, 2 king shrimp tacos, 1 pupusas, 1 gotcha-latte, 1 regular latte, and 1 classic humidor margarita. I was able to use a cash reward on my final total. I tipped because we all need to be appreciated. I noted some disorganization on other customer orders but ours was fine. They brought our food order out nice and warm. Remember to ask for wrapped silverware. And if you want to drink just water it's self service. Knowing these things prior will make your cafe visit favorable. I found no problem with parking, can't find a spot out front just drive to the back. Sorry no photos, but I can assure you the food was delicious. read more

I love this local spot so much! Their coffee is great and the chorizo breakfast bowl is out of this world!

Where do I begin? Ah yes, the coffee. 100/10, highly recommend. Didn't catch his name, but whomever it was knew how to make the perfect cup. I had the Panela shaken espresso with oatmilk, Horcha-latte (horchata and espresso), Matcha X Chai Latte, and the seasonal El Otoño latte...::sigh:: All delicious, all perfect, and my only regret is not staying to enjoy the ambiance. Everything is calm and clean, which is a surprise considering they're located right off 198 (next to Luchador). It literally feels like stepping into a different world. I loved how the baristas TOOK THEIR TIME. Do not expect a super quick cup because they TAKE THEIR TIME, and that's why it tastes so good. Well, that and the quality. They use Mayorga Coffee, which needs a review in itself. High quality beans from people who care about providing a quality coffee experience. They also provide food from La Casita, which is DELICIOUS! I had the plantains with crema and it was the perfect midday snack :) They also sell books from Latin authors (think poetry and short stories), which are located along the wall along with various cups and coffee beans. Parking is a bit tight. So if you're looking for a cup to-go, bringing a laptop and/or a book, having coffee with a friend or date...this would be a great spot. Heads up, it's definitely on the quieter side. There's music playing but it's not particularly loud. Enjoy read more

The fact that I've never reviewed Centrado Cafe Shop!? And I visit all the time!? This coffee shop is a local shop to Burtonsville, and is minority-owned. It's home-y..cozy. It's always busy. Their coffee and speciality lattes are delicious. My go-to is their Iced Miel y Canela Latte (honey and cinnamon) and I love their breakfast burrito with chorizo. The owner and staff are really nice and honestly, is another I keep giving them my money :-) read more

Very lovely, warm, and inviting aesthetic on the inside. The staff were kind with quick service. I was more so disappointed with the food, which pains me to say as I was looking forward to coming here for a while. The Horcha-Latte (Horchata Latte) was the best thing I tried- I tasted the sweet, creamy cinnamon base that paired perfectly with the coffee. The most disappointing was their Guava pastry or Pastel de Guayaba. I LOVE guava pastries and had to try it. I expected it to be soft or at least easy to break, but it was HARD. The crust was super hard to cut and the pastry wasn't as filled. It tasted like they put store bought Goya Guava Paste and plastered it in there. I expected it to be more elevated or homemade with care and good quality ingredients. The texture definitely disappointed me the most! The food was just okay. I haven't had pupusas in ages, so I got one frijol + queso (bean and cheese) and one Revuelta (pork + cheese) pupusa. My fav was the frijol + queso; the Revuelta was super bland and lacked flavor even with Curtido/the slaw. I asked for a side of fried Yuca, but they didn't have. I had to opt for a side of plantains which were lackluster, a bit burnt, and nothing special. read more

Over the years I've found it difficult to find a cafe that serves decent coffee, so I was very excited to have discovered Centrado, especially since it's in my neighborhood. My first time I just had a cappuccino and I was very pleased so I've been back there so many times since. They not only serve coffee but combine American with Mexican cuisine, great for brunch. The breakfast "guanaco" burrito is a must try, and if you do not mind beans- pan de dia is also a great option. They have friendly staff and there is plenty of indoor seating, I've seen a lot of people enjoying a cup of coffee and working/studying, it has a very relaxed ambiance. The only reason I've given it a 4 star is because I ordered their açaí bowl once and that was very watery and not fresh tasting BUT I still highly recommend this place. read more

Cute café with options for all diets including vegan and vegetarian. They have fresh juices and smoothies as well as a variety of speciality coffee and teas. They have a large mexican inspired menu. The food was delicious and made fresh and the prices are reasonable. A great place to grab a quick bite, chill, or study. It's an order at the counter and sit down place. They bring your food to you when it's done. You can also order takeout at the kiosk in the front. read more

I have had a few opportunities to visit Centrado Cafe. The staff are always great. It is very nice Cafe and cool vibe. It features a small retail and bakery area. They can make most coffee drinks.

Cute busy cafe with good service and food. Horchata latte: 5/5 this was a unique latte for me. The flavors were deep and something I've never had before. I would come back and get this again. Plantain & avocado bowl: well seasoned rice. The plantains weren't sweet but paired well with the rice, avocado, and beans. read more

Came here with a friend for the first time, and I enjoyed myself! It was def a vibe. A bit difficult to turn into from the road at night so keep that in mind if you struggle with directions/GPS like I do lol. There is a free parking lot as well. I got a gluten free brownie for $3.99 that was a good portion size, it was just dry so I wouldn't recommend it. Then I got a regular sized caramel frappe with one shot of expresso & almond milk for $6.75. (I mainly took off one star because I had to wait over 30 mins for my coffee because they forgot about it) It was absolutely delicious!! I'm not a big coffee drinker but I love sweet things so it def hit the spot for me. My friend got wings and really enjoyed them. My biggest regret is not getting to try more food. I would def go back and I do recommend them. Great spot to chill and hang out, have dinner or study. read more

Every time I go and try a new dish, my tummy is quite happy. Nice casual cafe, with self-bussing tables. In the neighborhood. Love it.

The only improvement I think they can make is adding another register. Sometimes the line is too long and it takes forever for some people to order. Other than that the place is great. I can only comment on one drink; the Pina colada latte. Its amazing, the only one I get. The food is surprisingly really good for a coffee shop. Ambiance and table space is good as well read more

I decided to stop by Centrado Cafe today and had a Plesant experience. The barista walked me through the menu and after her recommendation I tried the Dulce de atado latte with a quesadilla. The coffee was delicious, the quesadilla wasn't unfortunately. It was extremely sweet, and did not mix well with the coffee. The pan de dia was pretty good. Filled with egg, crema, beans & chorizo it was delicious. My only complaint about it. It was cold when it made it to the table. Coffee 8/10 Quesadilla 5/10 Pan de dia 7.5/10 read more

This is the easiest 5 star review I've given. Centrado is located in the small shopping center of burtonsville and is a cute cafe with plenty of seating, a private parking lot and even a bar in the back of the restaurant. I've had their breakfast before and they have a good variety of hearty American or Latin cuisine and healthy açaí bowls or smoothies. They have a self-ordering system upon entering the establishment for take out only to speed things up. Otherwise you can walk straight to the counter and order--doesn't take long at all. I tried both their nutty latte (just ok to me) but their honey latte is delicious. Would 100% come back again, especially because they offer reward discounts too. read more

Found myself off work on a Monday morning and decided to check this place out. It's a popular place for people working from home. At least 7 people were sitting on their computer with headphones having Teams calls or otherwise working. There's music playing and the gentle din from the coffee bar meant that the i couldn't hear any particular conversation, even though there were a lot of people talking. It strangely wasn't too loud. There are only a few parking spots out front, but there's more in the back. The place to order is clearly delineated, I selected some coffee beans to take home and ordered a slice of coffee cake and a horcha-latte. They took my name and said they'd bring my items out. So I sat at a table and 5 or so minutes later they brought my items out. They warmed my coffee cake up and it was delicious. Not too sweet. My latte which was horchata style was sweet, though smoothly foamy, I loved it. The vibe of this place is old restaurant that's been updated with character. There are sunny places to sit at the front of the restaurant and ambient light hitting most corners of the restaurant. read more

What a gem this place is. The food, service, and vibes are on point. A super warm and cozy space. It also feels really refreshing to see a hispanic cafe. I also love their little market inside. I bought a book for kiddo about Antigua,Guatemala. This place is a 10/10. read more

I'm a regular with my neighbors at Centrado. We almost always go for the papussas or the bagels with cream cheese but we have tried many other dishes and have never been disappointed. I like the licuados, but I know the coffee and tea service is also excellent from observation. The ambiance is friendly, open and welcoming. read more

Very popular place indeed but if you are a first timer the logistics are quite confusing. I did an online order as I was with the toddler in between swim meets and it took roughly 30 minutes to receive my order...it's Sunday morning so I understand. I believe they make the drinks first and then await for the food. If you order a cold drink remember to hold the ice or your coffee will be watered down....no worries they remade my drink for me without a hassle. I ordered a few different food items...custom Açaí Bowl, rice and beans, and breakfast burrito...the Açaí was just ok...they should change the base but keep the fruit...the base doesn't have much flavor. The rice and beans were ok...and the burrito I probably wouldn't get again....lacked flavor. I ordered some sort of Banana latte and it just tasted like milk...If I went back I'd just get the drip coffee and maybe a muffin or something. Plenty of parking and staff but like I said it's organized chaos slightly...if that's possible read more

I had breakfast at Centrado Cafe shop this past Saturday and had a great time. Open 7 days a week, the cafe serves Latin American coffee and food. It's adorable inside - on a beautiful, sunny day, I couldn't resist sitting at a barstool in front of the windows, but the whole cafe is beautiful and comfortable. I was overcaffeinated on my travel coffee when I arrived, so I ordered a maracuya (passionfruit) agua fresca to enjoy with my breakfast, but they have an extensive coffee menu - something for everyone (cortadito, café de olla, shakerado, banana-nana latte, horchata frappe, etc). Then for food? They have everything from açai bowls, pastries (pastel de piña, quesadilla salva), tacos, burritos, breakfast plates, and more. I had their Baleada Burrito (eggs picados, avocado, fried seda bean, grated queso seco, and fresh cream) to which I added chorizo. The service was friendly, the food was delicious and fast - I just had a very good experience and would be happy to return! read more

Good - elote pancakes are delicious Bad - I ordered ripe plantains and got not just dry but burnt charcoal slices. read more

This place is a little hard to rate. On the one hand the food is excellent, but they can be very slow. While I am for slow food in some situations, that is not the vibe of this place... Still they get four stars because the burritos are that good. So if you come expecting 30-45 mins for your food then you'll be fine. read more

Everything was great. The ordering reminded me of when you go to Nandos, which wasn't bad. I ordered the campo bowl (needed seasoning or some type of hot sauce), miel and canela iced latte( delicious!) and some coffee cake which tasted like pound cake. My cousin ordered the grilled chicken sandwich and enjoyed it, pancakes were also fluffy even though they looked thin. Overall, not too bad of a place for an after church cafe spot or to complete some homework. read more

Centrado Cafe Shop - Horcha-Latte - Cafes Near Me - Burtonsville, Maryland

The atmosphere is calming and has a friendly, quaint design. There is sufficient parking and the setting is neat and quiet.. The sugar-free lattes were nice and foamy, not too notch but not bad. We were satisfied with the plain coffee cake that we ordered because it was not sugary and tasted more like lightly sweetened cornbread than traditional coffee cake. Thus, it went well with the lattes. The service is pretty quick, but sad to say, two of the 3 clerks that I have encountered on my only two visits here lack cordiality and customer-friendliness. Actually, one young lady seems borderline snarky and a tad passive aggressive. Maybe, she faces challenges that make life tough or frustrating. I was polite to her and thanked her. Still, there was one cashier who was quite sweet and welcoming and her manner is the opposite, thank goodness. Did not get her name but would describe her as a very professional, sweet, Caucasian young lady who seems to make an effort to assure that patrons want to return and that her customers feel valued. The other two young cashiers/baristas could learn a lot from watching the customer service that this positive, enthusiastic Centrado team member provides. I most likely will not make a third visit bc the lattes are not that outstanding, but I do appreciate that one team member whose attitude is helpful and whose tone is one of warmth and appreciation. May Jesus Christ bless her, her family and her whole Centrado Cafe Shop Team and may Our Lord Jesus bless and heal us all. Amen read more

Ok, this place is hoppin' on the weekend. We managed to get there before the lunch rush and proceeded to squander that success because we needed time with the menu. The line to order was pretty long but went fairly quickly. The drinks and food were good. The chai was really, really good, and the miel y canela was spot on. We also ordered a two dishes. I think one was a sort of vegetarian burrito bowl thing which was tasty. The plantains were excellent. And my smol one ordered a smoothie bowl of sorts. For that one, the fruits mixed in were super frozen and challenging to eat. Why the three stars? It was super duper loud, and it took forever to get the food. For some reason, the smoothie bowl made it our table 10 minutes after the other-- which also took forever. Oh, parking-- go behind the building for ample parking. read more

I tried this place out on a whim, and I really loved it! Came here with my friends for breakfast. Service was friendly, the atmosphere was quaint, a nice chill place to have a chill breakfast. I got a hot chocolate and added lavender syrup to it. It was pretty good! My friend had the horchata and i tasted it, and it was really good! I'll have to try it the next time I'm there. For food I ordered Un Tipico, it was really good! Loved the eggs! The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the plantains, but I'm just picky about my plantains and only like them if they are really sweet. Otherwise 10/10. Simple and cute.

Went to Centrado for the first time today. I had a spinach and cheese pupusa and I thought it was really tasty.

Excellent service! Glad to have a cute cafe in my own neighborhood (well somewhat). Lots of room to come with others or just solo. Located where the old Chapala used to be. This cafe is connected to Luchador! They're open daily! Limited parking in the front but there's a parking lot in the back. On a Saturday morning, this place was quite packed. I placed an order for a dirty chai latte. Andony was a pleasure to chat with and he made a great drink. I will be coming back again soon. Check out this local cafe!! read more

Loved the coffee and the latte art! We tried this place for brunch and it was a great new find. The coffee is delicious and the food was good too. The pupusas are the clear winner here for food. They come out hot and cheesy and delicious. The service was friendly and fairly fast too. It was a great stop and I will definitely return for more pupusas and lattes. read more
