Tres Leches and Pumpkin Horchata Lattes
Betty H.

This coffee hut is located near the Mexican/US border. Near state route 905, corner of Otay Center Dr and Siempre Viva Rd, near the Shell gas station with plenty of parking. Their menu consists of Mexican inspired coffee specialties such as 'Horchata, Mazapan, Dulce de Leche Lattes', as well as classic coffee, Matcha, chai, and cold brews. They also have a limited selection of pastries My cousin and I stopped here for a caffeine treat. I tried their 'Tres Leches latte' over ice. My cousin had their seasonal 'Pumpkin Horchata latte' also over ice. Both drinks tasted amazing! Service is friendly and welcoming. The lobby is clean and organized with a café relaxing seating and a few small tables to sit and enjoy your coffee. Small merch section. Overall, we had a great experience here and will definitely return to support this hidden gem.

Matcha latte with strawberry cold foam and horchata latte

First off, this place is definitely a HIDDEN gem because it was literally in this plaza that was hard to find lol, but plenty of parking! I love their hours as they're open for early birds like myself. I enjoyed my iced matcha latte with the strawberry cold foam & my husbands horchata latte was delicious too! I would go back again to try different cold foams. I recommend this hidden gem to all my south bay peeps IG: rs.Albright TIKTOK: M.albright

Cute coffee shop with Mexican inspired flavors. For the month of February they have a seasonal gansito and chococherry both delicious. In the past I've had dulce de leche and mazapan. Been coming here since they've opened plenty of parking and great service the staff is always friendly and welcoming. Ordered the de la olla and tres leches also good!

Super cute new coffee shop by the otay border. Clean environment and comfortable seating available. The owner was super sweet and I took her up on some recommendations. I had to try the Gansito cold brew as it's seasonal for the month and February. The strawberry cold foam was delicious! Also ordered the horchata latte with cold foam as recommended and it was so creamy and delicious!

First time coming here. We decided to come here because we are coffee lovers and to be honest TT recommend me this place. It's located in otay a little far from where I live but worth the drive. It has plenty of parking. The place it's super cute and very clean. It has tables chairs and cute coaches to sit down and enjoy your drink and pastries. They have a variety menu from iced coffees to matcha and much more. They also have pastries on a cute transparent display. They also have conchas and empanadas de cajeta. I decided to order the mazapán iced coffee with extra ice and with almond milk. My hubby ordered the orchata iced lattee. Both coffees were AMAZING very tasty and delicious: rich in flavor both of them. We ordered a biscuf cinamon roll that was to die for! And we also ordered a banana muffin. The banana muffin was also yummy. Customer service was phenomenal! She was very sweet, friends, polite and helpful. I really recommend this place and encourage you to go! You won't regret it! It was less than 20 dollars for everything.

I've driven past this coffee shop for years and finally decided to try it. The inside was decorated…read morecute with a rustic, desert vibe. There's indoor seating with chairs & tables as well as comfy chairs. The outdoor seating is covered under umbrellas. I got a matcha with almond milk and added lavender. It was an average matcha, nothing too special. Maybe I should have chosen a different add-in flavor. They made my drink within minutes so service was great! I'll definitely give this place another shot. Gotta support our local coffee shops!

After seeing this place raved on TikTok I wanted to get it to try myself. The parking is decent…read more When I went in the staff was quick to greet me and asked if I had any questions. I took a look at the menu and decided on getting the Matcha Meets Fresca and chilaquiles. The Matcha was actually pretty good. And the Chilaquiles were decent however I can tell the green salsa is not a fresh salsa. I also did not care for the chicken. It tasted like pre-cooked chicken that had been warmed up. The chips were very crispy however. I think it's a great option for folks in the area, however I would not return given it's not located in my community and can find not your preferred closer to me. There were folks in their meeting and working and although it may be a little noisy, it is a great option to work from. They also have tables outside which I found were nice and provide a more quieter space
