    Alfred and Yvette, the owners!
    Wendy B.

    Espumita translates to "little foam" or "little froth". It is a term Cubans use to describe the sweet, foamy topping on their espresso drinks. Honestly, I could describe my experience here similarly. As I might say, "frothing at the mouth". Meet the owners, Alfred and Yvette. A sweet couple who took a bold step to bring us earnest coffee-drinkers the authentic, Cuban versions. They deserve to be recognized for their efforts. Starbucks, you don't stand a chance. The floor to ceiling, smokey-colored outside windows give the appearance of not being open. Don't be deceived. Push the door open and be pleasantly surprised. Bright, spacious, clean, and cozy, the interior is decorated with colorful, Cuban-themed memorabilia and murals. There is lively Cuban music in the background. The friendly faces give off vibes that are joyful, and uplifting. And then, there is the wonderful smell of freshly ground beans and strong espresso. Take a slow, deep breath. But even before you remember to take a second breath to blurt out your drink order, there are the plump, chocolate chip oatmeal cookies that you can't help but admire, strategically placed in a small pastry display. Fye! Next to the cookies, if you are lucky, lie the guava-filled pastries with a buttery, light flakey dough. Very Cuban and oh, so delicious. Allow your inner temptress to take control of your usually sensible brain. Seeing these guava pastries, caused my knees to go weak. I grabbed the four still remaining to share with family. Consider yourself unlucky if you are behind me in line. These were amazing! Cordito: This hot drink starts with 3.5 oz cup of espresso traditionally brewed in a Moka pot, with sugar already added. To that they whip in 3.5 oz of your choice of milk. For me, who tries to avoid sugar (unless, unfortunately, it come in the form of a guava pastry), they brewed some espresso without the sugar. It took maybe 5 minutes longer, but that's ok. My choice was whole milk, but they have low-fat alternatives as well as non-dairy options. On a nearby side table, they offered a stevia-monkfruit blend in packets that I could add myself. I was thrilled to make it exactly to suit my taste, and was it ever delicious! The Cafe con Leches contains sugar also, but more milk than the Cordito. Mr. B is not Cuban (but does pride himself on his cha-cha moves from time to time). This is what he ordered. Unlike a "real" Cuban, he declared that he will request less sugar the next time around. And yes, there definitely will be a next time. Please add this to your bookmarks or make a quick U-turn and indulge right now. You are welcome.

    Im so glad this place exists . I had been wanting to try this coffee shop out and being that it was Cuban coffee even better . The decor inside was super cute and it gave off Cuban vibes . There was a ton of seating inside as well . The service was really friendly and the girl working was super sweet . She answered any questions I had and explained the menu throughly . I got the iced Cuban with oat milk and sugar free vanilla with cinnamon powder on top . The coffee was super delicious and it almost had sweet floral and vanilla notes to it . I also got the guava pastry as well which was a customer favorite and it was super flaky and yummy and had the perfect amount of sweetness from the guava and the pastry had the perfect texture . I can't wait to come back to try something else soon.

    Cute, friendly, spacious, comfortable, welcoming spot. Love both the Cuban and the Christian vibe. I loved my Cafe Con Leche, and there are many other coffees and lattes I want to try. Will be back!

    AMAZING! Happy tea so good it made me happy and the cortado so good it made my friend jumping. They are so kind and jesus following #bible

    Iced Vanilla Latte w/Cinnamon

    Was in town and wanted to find a nice coffee shop, and Espimita stood out to me being a Cuban Coffee spot. So my girlfriend and I figured we'd give it a try. We stopped in behind 8 am, parked in the back, and then headed on in. Immediately I saw and felt the Cuban vibes, as if I'djust stepped.pit onto the streets of Havana. With the street mural of Cuba on the left side of the shop, the neon lights, steets signs and palm plants throughout. And or the photo area on the right, where the couch looks like the front of a car straight out of the 50's or 60's. Iced Vanilla Latte w/Cinnamon Iced Vanilla Latte Staff was really helpful and were able to answer all of the questions we had. The coffee was also really good and the decor makes it so, this is a place I can see people wanting to kick back and just hang out for a bit.

    One million stars of if I could. This place is amazing, the owner is so friendly, the location is clean and smells so yummy. Located on the corner of magnolia and Van Buren, it has open glass storefront that allows so much light into the business. Inside the smell of yummy coffee and the baked goods. The owner is so nice, he is patient, always up for conversation and gives good recommendations - he does not make you feel rushed and is such a decent human being. This is actually our third time going and I figured I needed to do a review!!! Okay cookie - amazing. People please don't hate on oatmeal - especially chocolate chip oatmeal. To die for. Seriously don't sleep on it, has right amount of gooey but also right amount of crisp, and chocolate throughout. Cubans Pumpkin Latte - I've had iced and hot at this point. Very good both ways. Could not drink it at normal hot level due to a recent surgery so he had the barista Jesus turn down brewing temp so it was warm but not super hot. Very nice and considerate. My friend made her own drink which I am going to post on here, soooo good. Regular latte, had hazelnut syurp and chocolate sauce (they have the good gharadeli) - her drink was served hot and was very very good!!! So my fellow Yelpers consider this place - let's keep businesses like this alive. They have good drinks, good food, and the employees are good people! Also shout out to Jesus the barista for allowing my friend to pester him and watch his coffee making skills! Very sweet man.

    My daughter and I really enjoyed this new coffee cafe. Customer service was wonderful, very helpful. Pastries and many coffee options, who doesn't love a good, strong cafecito to start their weekend morning off? We both ordered a 16 Oz latte, strong, slightly sweetened (perfectly) with oat milk and regular milk; fabulous!! Wish we ordered a pastry, maybe next time. Beautifully decorated with Cuban decor. We will be back!

    This charming shop has not only top quality drinks but a beautiful atmosphere. This was our first time and the owner was so helpful, giving great recommendations and let us sample the cafecito.

    Cortadito on ice
    Tania L.

    This place is very darling and the ambiance is welcoming and warm. The car seating area is so cute and a great photo op spot. The service was great and you can tell they take immense pride in their work. I got a cortadito over ice but I do think it would have tasted much better hot. The ice melted quickly making it very watery. The coffee is as many stated STRONG and bold. It's personally not my favorite as I prefer a more smooth cup with a little less kick but that's just personal preference. Overall a great local spot to get a taste of something different.

    Two cafes con leche. One with regular milk and one with oat milk
    Varinia R.

    I've been wanting to stop by Espumita for a while now so I could get a cafe con leche for my boss. I was able to go today and the staff greeted me right away. They heard it was my first time and one of the baristas gave me a sample of their Cuban espresso with whipped sugar. I'm not much of a coffee drinker, but I really loved the flavor of this espresso! So I decided to not only get my boss a cafe con leche, but get one for myself as well. They have different pastries and cookies from local vendors and saw a gingerbread cookie I had to try out. It was chewy and delicious. They have some holiday drinks right now in addition to their regular menu. So happy I stopped by and will be coming back!

    I've been wanting to try this place for a while now. I decided it was finally time to try it. I knew Cuban coffee was strong but I actually never tried it before. I asked the barista what they recommended and they were super knowledgeable about the menu! That is always a plus! They say sweet but at least for me it's not sweet at all, it's perfectly balanced! Such a smooth coffee. I got the honey cinnamon latte and I have to say it was really good! You get a good amount of the coffee, milk and the cinnamon on first sip! I would definitely come back.

    8oz. Cafe con Leche
    Justine R.

    It's like they say... you won't always be everyone's cup of coffee. And this definitely ain't ours. $18 for 2 coffees, mind you one was 8oz and the other was 12oz. Coffee tasted like water and sugar with a hint of caffeine. The 12oz had an extra shot of espresso.. couldn't taste it, but paid for it. Service was quick and friendly and the shop was cute and clean. But definitely won't be back, Starbucks is cheaper( which really shocked me).

    I loved that they added this into their coffee sleeves, and stickers.

    Service was awesome, coffee the best, I ordered hot cinnamon, and my son ordered the turtle, both really good. The place feels cozy. Love it

    What a gem of a discovery. This coffee shop has a lot of fun horror film decor, and themed drinks…read more They have some of the classics on their menu, but also have some themed drinks that are really fun. The service here is great as the gentleman behind the counter was super helpful and friendly when I came in and was deciding on what to order. I ended up getting one of 'the fogs'. The Cenobites Fog to be exact - a fun homage to Hellraiser. It was super tasty and had a fun little design on top. But seriously, this coffee shop is equal parts fun, horror film museum, and coffee shop. I was just thinking how much my nephew would love this place as he's really into horror movies.

    Very overpriced, very underwhelming and very disappointing. $11 for a large basic oat milk latte…read morewith pumps of syrup and still have the audacity to ask for a tip definitely not. Not good coffee beans. If you're vegan coming here to try out the specialty lattes, just know apparently NONE of them can be veganized. You'll just have to get a standard coffee with pumps of syrup, which at that point you can easily make at home or get at any other coffee shop for literally half the price. The price doesn't justify the unpleasant location, the taste of the drinks, the interior or the customer service. You can literally get a latte cheaper and better than this in Newport Beach, OC/LA. Cherry on top is the customer service isn't the best, while in line there was one employee and a couple in front of me but when I arrived the couple had already ordered. The employee saw me and continued to just talk to the couple for about 5 minutes I was just standing there watching her talk about one of her previous trips, instead of making drinks and/or attending to me first. She could've easily told them to give her a minute, taken my order then continued the conversation with them while making drinks but her priorities weren't there. I felt ignored and I was about to walk out but I really had high hopes for this place and thought it would be just as good, if not better than Rad Coffee in Long Beach & Upland, it's not, first and last time I'll be here. They need to improve on many areas if they plan to survive in this economy because just being a horror themed coffee shop, isn't enough.

    Stick with me, this is gonna be a long, but worth reading review…read more About 6 years ago I tried Dutch bros for the first time while visiting my grandparents in Oregon. They lived near the original location. It wasn't busy and they gave me a ton of random stickers. So since then, Dutch has always been my favorite coffee spot and the stickers have always been my fav thing to look forward to on the 1st Wed of the month. Every year I'd visit my grandparents and Dutch bros was always a stop, sometimes twice in a day! Fast forward to now, we have a Dutch 10 min away and tonight I totally realized I forgot to stop by for my sticker. They were all out and I was lowkey so bummed because my favorite color is blue, and I love checkers everything (it's the millennial in me). Daisy stepped away for a moment and brought back a sticker! Her sticker. She gave me the one she got as an employee. I know it's just a sticker, but Daisy, you made my night. My grandma just passed away last week and life has been kinda rough lately. Dutch always reminds me of her and my grandparents house.

    I've only been to Dutch Bros utilizing the drive thru and ordering in person, which is usually fast…read moreand convenient. Drinks are consistently good, and are easily customizable & come out accurate and delicious. I enjoy their variety of seasonal drinks, as well as their rebel energy drinks.
