    I got green tea with honey and ginger. Service was great but they are SEVERELY understaffed. They need to hire more people I waited at least 20 minutes for this one cup. The ambiance is cool. Wish it was more cozier: Parking was cool. Pull up and there were a few spots. All in all I'd probably go back

    I was a regular at Hojas a few years ago, since I would often stop by before or after my classes at LBCC. I returned a few weekends ago and it didn't disappoint. It was a Saturday morning and the ambiance still felt like a neighborhood coffee spot. The staff was friendly and nice enough to give a few minutes to look at the menu and answer some questions. There isn't a lot of space to sit inside. There are a few tables outside at the sidewalk. The inside though, is lovely decorated with plants and other things. I got a Cafe con Leche drink, and it was just as expected. My only comment would be that you can only get a certain size for certain drinks; but I assume it is common. They also have pastries including cookies, cake, and macaroons as well as food items. I have never gotten food, but the pastries have always been delicious!

    This place is small. They do allow dogs, there is only 2 tables, 1 outlet, free wifi, 2 free hour parking in the back and street parking. The lighting is dark in here and cold. They don't have a bathroom here. The staff said it would take them about 5 minutes to make my drink. I got the peaceful lavender. It came out to be $5.50. This is great for those lactose intolerant folks and vegans as it's made with coconut milk. The lavender in this tea was so potent and it tasted like fresh lavender was in it vs those lavender syrups that coffee shops use. It definitely was calming drinking it. This made me want to look forward to spring. Just looking at their menu, I want to try their other tea options. It seems this place is always getting customers.

    Cafe con Leche

    I'm so glad I finally got myself in here. Hojas is located on a major street with sparking spaces directly in the front. It's a fairly small cafe with a few indoor seating but they do not offer any restrooms. I ordered the cafe con leche and the chefs special bagel and was pleased with both. I want to say my favorite part about my experience here was the customer service - super great vibes, very accommodating and friendly. I would definitely come back and recommend!

    These hours don't reflect the hours on Google and Yelp. This business can't get this simple thing right
    Michael P.

    I've stopped by this particular Hojas in the afternoon TWICE and both times they were closed. On Yelp and Google, their hours state 9 pm but when I get there I see this sign saying they close MUCH earlier. Having accurate hours is a BASIC step for a business, and the fact they haven't corrected this in over a year tells me they don't respect customers' time. AVOID THIS PLACE.

    Hojas has been one of my favorite tea shops for years. I started going to their San Pedro location in 2020. They have an amazing variety of hot and iced teas with a variety of blends. My favorite is the peaceful lavdendar which mixes Oolang tea, lavender and coconut milk. The absolute best.

    Thanks to my niece Coco for introducing me to this place. I look forward to trying more of their food.

    Blown away by my Americano and Avocado Toast this morning. My niece introduced me to this place. She kept raving how good it was and we never could connect to go together. Today it happened. So happy it did. The service there is very friendly and inviting. You feel like you are at a friend's home. Staff is very helpful and the food they make is AMAZING So don't be fooled by the small space because it gives a big punch of flavor and friendliness. Thanks, Jed

    I love supporting small Coffee Shops/Eateries and also venues and Of All kind. So it's a Thursday AM and this is about 5min driving distance, and to quite honest I was headed to another location to Yelp for coffee humbleBraggs eatery And since o was at the stoplight I said why not let me pull over and see what Yelp has to say. So here we go I walk in ,did not get greeter even though he was taking an order a quick Good Morning or Hello I'll be with you. Look at the menu because the menu on Yelp just wasn't sufficient for me lol I needed the real deal in front of me. So , I would've sat and had my munchies inside but it was chilli.. So the customer service The gentleman can be a little more upbeat and helpful and thank the customer for his tip, instead he walks away before the transaction is even done . server AM S so just a $2 tip Music very low but you can still feel the vibe Cleaningness, table was dirty I order the Lemon Bar ****(4). Very tasty and not too Tarty ,however it is cold maybe let it sit for 10min so it will not be as cold and thick. Also the PB with a honey and Bananas on Multi grain ,very healthy and actually my first bite did it .not too much honey but you can taste the rawness of it ****(4) My steel oats with Strawberries -1 please the photo So much water and not able to even taste the oats itself I'd like my refund for this a waste of $6 Coffee time let's see ( I'm hesitant to even open the lid) Okay phew *****(5) Overall it's a Hit but a Miss on the Customer Service And the OAts boo!! Added 1 pack of sugar Steel oats **(2) because of all the juice water

    We were in the area and wanted some matcha and this place popped up. Ample amount of street parking and realized I've been here before many many moons ago. I'm not a big tea person so I got the coconut mango infusion. It wasn't sweet enough for me so they added more coconut sweetener for me :) taste like coconut w a hint of mango but the drink came w mango slices yum! The matcha w coconut taste healthy and delicious. The coconut infusion (hot) was light tasting and we requested more coconut sweetener as well. Energize me is pretty good, my friend gives it two thumbs up. Service was really good and the guy taking our order was extremely patient and even offered sample to help us out w our ordering. Overall: my friend has been looking for a place that serves Yerba Mate and my wife loved the matcha w coconut. We'll be back if we're ever in the area

    Cute local tea house with some health teas and healing tonics along with the normal fun stuff. I love places with homeopathic options so this will be a new regular spot for me. Teas: 3/5 - Fruity Fiesta - I was a little let down from this one. I expected a more fruity flavor but it contains milk (I had oat milk) and I didn't care for that blend so much. A little on the bland side. 5/5 - Relieve my cold - got this for my son who had a cold at the time. It was a nice array of ingredients that your grandma would make for you when you had a cold. You'd make it yourself if you had all the ingredients but thankfully Hojas has your back. 5/5 - Crema con miel - milky and caramelly. Very tasty blend that I recommend. 5/5 - Original house Chai - whatever your expectations are in a Chai tea, this should exceed it. 5/5 - French Sable cookie - a light, slightly crisp and flaky cookie that reminds you of a blend of a shortbread cookie mixed with a tea cookie from the south. I loved this cookie and will be back very soon for it!! Parking in the village is what it is, you just wait for someone else to leave. It's a pretty fast turnover normally, no issues. Service was good. Facility was good. Will be back!

    Green tea coconut fusion (hot) and peaceful lavender (cold). Love it!

    Do you guys still use the loose tea leaf with filter tops? Last time I ordered a chai tea and it was a tea bag? Not sure if things have changed?

    I'm wondering too! Last time it was pre packaged tea bag! The loose tea leaves and flowers is what made Hojas stand out. Hopefully it was just a inventory issue.

    Do they bring order curbside?

    no you have to go inside

    Do you have almond milk for those lactose intolerant?

    For an extra charge, they offer the substitution of almond milk on their coffee menu.

    Do you offer soy milk for tea?

    I see that you can sub soy milk for an extra charge.

A very welcoming vibe upon entry, we were greeted by a friendly couple who answered our questions about popular drink flavors. We decided to go with a Hot Cinnamon Dulce Latte and an Iced Blueberry Lavender Latte. While waiting, there were plenty of chairs, tables, a comfy couch and even a bar area to sit and relax. Tons of board games, books and wonderfully mellow music helps make the experience feel comforting and inviting. Our drinks were prepared quickly and shouted at the coffee bar for pickup. The presentation was great, but the flavors, out of this world! The Cinnamon Dulce Latte was OUTSTANDING. So good, in fact, that my girlfriend stole it from me! Not to worry, her Blueberry Lavender Latte was also top-notch, with a smooth, not-to-sweet flavor combination. Friendly staff (which comes with occasional karaoke renditions from the Bluetooth speakers), a chill vibe and outstanding drinks make this a top spot in the area for hardcore coffee lovers.

I started with a cup of their beef and barley soup. My wife and I both make this at home from scratch and we're both impressed by theirs. My wife took a taste of mine and instantly ordered her own. Very rich and flavorful. I kept looking at photos of their take on chicken and waffles and knew I had to try it. Seriously epic and was good as it looked. They coated the chicken in a chili rub that gave it a sweet and spicy flavor when paired with their maple syrup. Served on top of a waffle and topped with an egg. I loved it and would probably order again on my next visit. My wife had the American plate which was your classic eggs, bacon, potatoes, and sourdough toast combo. High quality ingredients elevated it beyond your typical diner food. Drinks were great too. I had their house made bloody mary which had a nice kick to it. My wife had their brunch version of a Corpse Reviver cocktail. After our meals were done we finished with an Irish coffee since everyone was ordering them. Perfect service, relaxing atmosphere, and delicious food will definitely have me returning very soon! Parking is free for 2 hours at the nearby garage on 3rd and is a very short walk.

It's about how management handled it. We made a reservation three days in advance to watch the Mexico World Cup match. We arrived 10 min early to our reservation in anticipation of the crowds. We received confirmation by both email and text, but when we arrived, we were told there was no reservation and "nothing they could do." Despite showing proof of our confirmed reservation, they refused to honor it and told us there were no tables available. Seconds later, another group walked up and asked to join the waitlist, and he gladly added them. I then asked why we couldn't be added--considering we had a confirmed reservation--and only then did he put us on the list. When a restaurant makes a mistake, the bare minimum is trying to make it right. We should have been given priority on the waitlist. Instead, after nearly two hours of waiting, we were still ninth in line even though the wait time for our table size showed 0 minutes. We left without ever being seated. Thankfully before the match began, we walked over to Broken Spirits (5 min walk away) where they seated us within 15 minutes and even gave us complimentary drinks to celebrate the game. The difference in hospitality was incredible. This wasn't my first disappointing experience here, either. On a previous visit, I waited outside to be seated for so long that I eventually gave up and seated myself at the bar. To make matters worse, the food and drinks don't justify the price. Cocktails are around $20, filled with ice, and underwhelming. As a customer, I left Ordinarie feeling dismissed and disrespected. Between the poor service, overpriced menu, and management's complete lack of accountability, I won't be returning. If you're in the DTLB area, I would recommend better drinks/better service at Broken Spirits or Midnight Oil :)

The menu has a ton of really detailed options, each drink with its own depth. The menu changes seasonally but what doesn't change is the smoked old fashioned - a must-order. They smoke your drink in a glass container using applewood chips; it's quite a show and it also does make the drink much more enjoyable. Ask the bartender and they can also help guide you to a drink - I've done it a couple of times and always pleasantly surprised. Next up, the food! The hummus was very flavorful and paired with an amazing fluffy pita bread. The truffle fries were solid but the plate was HUGE, definitely needs a friend to share. The Nashville wings are the star of the show. I cannot stress this enough, this is worth a DRIVE for. The seasoning really does remind you of Howlin' Rays (the highest compliment) and the chicken is extremely crispy yet insanely juicy. The pickles and ranch that it comes with pairs so well. Do note that they are tossing it in pork fat, which enhances the depth but also makes it a little greasy at the end. I also wished they'd warn you this and offer to order it without it; especially for those who don't eat pork or for those trying to cut some calories. There's a happy hour menu too!!! So you can get drinks and food even cheaper. I cannot stop thinking about this place. It's such a sleeper. Head to Midnight Oil after a visit to continue your night.

It was getting pretty long We got the buscits which was a let down. They were cold. A bit hard and the butter was unable to be spread.

I attached a video of the view inside. We paid about $50 with tip for the three things and truly it was a good experience. If you like Bloody Marys I would say to come try because we noticed nearly every table getting served one.
