This little tea house is super cute! We ordered the matcha and salted caramel latte. I gave 4 stars because the matcha was so sweet that it was really hard to drink. We ordered the Mexican bagel and turkey pesto sandwich and both were phenomenal!
The customer service was the best! Very attentive and they got the order right!! It's a beautiful authentic place with lots of art. The food was tasty and presented well.
Food was pretty good, drinks were on the sweet side (I loved but my friend did not so really up to your preference). I got the Nutella crepe and it was great with the vanilla ice cream. The panini was also great. The art inside and outside the building is incredible.
Horchata coffee was way too sweet in my opinion, crepe was great though the nuts added a very nice touch! Service was great, workers were nice and overall good quality. The coffee shop was cute and good looking authentic mexican decorations were a beautiful addition.
La malinche is one of my favorite coffee shops in pilsen. Their drinks are wonderful and on top of that, they have my favorite cafe de olla. The decor is very warm and the staff is always super nice to me whenever i go. Haven't tried their food items yet but their chilaquiles smell amazing every time.
Sara is a delightful host who cheerfully explained the menu's many offerings. The bagels were fresh, cheese danishes tasty, & Cafe de Olle (Olla?) beyond compare! I highly recommend La Malinche for its warm environment, delish foods, reasonable prices, and tasty coffees. It is a refreshing change from cookie-cutter coffee shops and corporate environments. It is easy to reach on CTA #8 and there is a Divvy stand directly in front. Thank you, La Malinche! :-) Sincerely, Patrick Shaughnessy Chicago, IL
This is a great spot to work or study while enjoying coffee and food. I noticed they have a printer available, which is super convenient--especially when you need to print something out real quick. The decor inside is really cool and creates a nice atmosphere. I ordered the cajeta latte and it was great! I'll definitely be coming back to try the food sometime.
I decided to try something new today... I'm a big fan of Cafe de Olle, and I saw they had this on their menu, so I decided to stop in. The place is super cute and colorful. Although it's tiny, they have some good seating options. I love finding a comfortable table near a window so I can people watch and if it's raining, that's a bonus! They had upbeat music playing.. a little too loud for my taste. And the coffee shop was full, which is always a good sign! You order your food and drink at the counter and you are given a number and allowed to seat yourself. When your order is ready they bring it to your table. I noticed that people sitting next to me were drinking coffee out of very ornate coffee mugs and those are the small details that I really love about coffee shops. However, when I received my coffee, it was in a to-go cup even though they knew I was dining in. I noticed that when they brought coffee out to another group, they were in the coffee mugs as well. Not sure what that was about, but I was disappointed that I didn't get the aesthetically pleasing coffee mug. I was disappointed with the Cafe de Olle. I understand that people make them differently, but it was very cinnamon forward, which is not my preference. I also ordered the Chillequilles. Very disappointing. I also know that this is made many different ways. Initially I said I didn't want egg and avocado which were an additional cost but when I got it it was literally tortilla chips sauce and cheese. There were also a few slices of red onion. I ended up going back to the counter and ordering some avocado to add to it, but very disappointed. If I go back to this place, it will only be for the cozy seating if I'm able to snag one of the window seats. I may even order a coffee but keep it simple. A little disappointing.
Went here for brunch with coworkers and we loved the food! Also in love with how vibrant the interior was. Especially the art on the walls! Service was friendly and my friends loved the Turkey Pesto panini so much that they ordered two more to go!
I had a breakfast bagel and iced vanilla latte and it was delicious! The place itself is so cute and aesthetic. The service was good; took a little long to take our order and to get our food but there were only two people working at that time so it was understandable.
A festive, neighborhood coffee shop. The horchata latte was really potent in the horchata flavor. I would highly recommend! The creamy and spicy in the horchata was not lost in the coffee drink. The service was superb. Very friendly. They took time and care to prepare the drinks and are meticulous in making sure you're taken care of. We ordered three drinks - two were for friends and the gentleman cut up a four drink cup holder to hold the two drinks. Ambiance was colorful and festive whilst clean.
I love discovering new coffee shops and La Malinche in Pilsen did not disappoint. I found out about it through TikTok and ventured out from the suburbs a few days later. The inside is quite cozy and has a good amount of seating. I personally loved the deep pink and navy blue walls, as well as the gold fireplace. The people working at the counter were very friendly and helpful. I ordered a large iced matcha green tea latte and it surpassed my expectations. It had the perfect balance of matcha to sweetener. I found myself enjoying it even more after every sip. I also appreciated that they have non dairy alternatives so that I was able to have my drink made with oat milk. La Malinche is a hidden gem in the Pilsen neighborhood. I can definitely see myself ordering a drink and getting some work done there. Their food items looked quite tasty as well. I will definitely need to try them out next time!

A beautiful, eclectic coffee house just outside of Chinatown, La Malinche was the perfect place for a casual late breakfast. With a cozy locals vibe, there was a mix of young professionals on laptops and families starting the morning. The bright aesethics of Mexican heritage and decor celebrating local artists make the space inspiring and energizing. The coffee was great. I got the horchata latte, which tasted even better than I hoped. I also ordered a El Chavo Torta, a deceptively simple sandwich that was incredibly delicious. I don't know what they put in the bread or what magical place they bought the cheese from, but my mouth is watering just thinking about it. When I'm in Chicago again, La Malinche is on my list of must visit spots. read more
Stopped by La Malinche Coffee & Tea House in Pilsen to try something new. Place is nice and quiet. Bright pink walls, little decorative hearts, alebrijes all around and full piano in the room. Felt cozy right away. The staff were really welcoming, for an early morning. I got the hot chocolate. Honestly that's exactly what I needed that morning. It had that real Mexican chocolate taste. Thick, creamy, smooth and rich. The cinnamon came through warm but not too strong, plus a little extra on top that hit your nose before the first sip. Sweet and it almost had this slight earthy note too... hard to explain but good. It even had that little design on top, like the ones they do on cappuccinos. Didn't expect that but it was cool. I finished it slow. Didn't wanna rush it. Just sat there taking small sips and enjoying it while it was still hot. read more
Cutest coffee shop! Loved the artwork inside and outside. Great menu, even though we only ordered an iced coffee and matcha. Took a little time but worth the wait. I'd like to try the Cubano sandwich next time. This place is quiet and good for work or studying! read more

Every time I visit Chicago I like checking out places in Pilsen. This time I went for breakfast to Malinche. I ordered a small iced matcha and a bagel with cream cheese. It was Friday morning around 10, place wasn't that busy and it took 15 minutes to get my drink and my bagel with cream cheese came about 10 minutes after my drink. I had to stop myself from sipping so I would be able to enjoy my matcha with the bagel. I thankfully had enough time to wait, so I still enjoyed my breakfast. I paid $12 for the bagel with cream cheese and small iced matcha. Place is nice, art is colorful and lots of street parking. read more

Oh wow! What a sweet spot for the matrimony of Italian and Mexican with Chicago officiating, this little wedding I witnessed sipping on their horchatta latte got me all happily ever after. Was able to use my own container too, wonder if they'll add a little discount to save us both? My other Mexican coffee attempts haven't gone well, one in Hayward, California, turns out the extra authentic Hispanic java juice isn't for me. But this place gets the goods good; well balanced sweet horchatta against the bitter roll of espresso. Couldn't help myself and fighting trashy traffic the brown disappeared quickly, bummer I couldn't stay in this delightful bright and inviting space. Awesome crowd behind the counter too, this is one special city drip dive. read more

My friend and I wanted to go somewhere we haven't before and found out about this place thru Yelp. The cafe is so cute. There's music playing and the seating is pretty spread out and not at all uncomfortable. There were people studying and people chatting. I think my friend and I were very loud (I'm so sorry) but we were really comfortable there. The tables were clean and the bathroom was clean, too. I like that they had signs on the booths that they were for 3+ parties so that the seating isn't hogged by one person. The decor is wonderful as well. Service was amazing! The woman who took my order was so nice and patient as my friend and I were scouring the menu trying to figure out what we wanted. The food and drink we got were delicious. Looking forward to coming back to try other things on the menu. read more

The vibe is always the same! Positive & kind! The dirty abuelita is my fave! Only tiny area for improvement is shades for the window. Love to work here but can't see my laptop read more
Flew into Chicago on a early mor ing flight and first stop to warm up was La Malinche Coffee & Tea House.... Cute shop and great vibes and even better eats and morning drinks .. Decided on the following items. Green Chilaquiles with fried eggs basically delicious breakfast nachos .. so damn yummy ... fried eggs, fried tortilla chips, tomatillo green salsa, sour cream, cotija cheese and onions. Dirty Abuelita is your mexican chocolate Abuelita with espresso shots. So rich and warm and reminds you of Abuelita making hot chocolate over the stove in a pot Guava punch artisan Fruit Tea is a blend of dehydrated fruits, flowers and tea so refreshing Definitely stop by this cute place and enjoy some good coffee and breakfast. read more

This was my second time here, so I think it's safe to say it's time for me to review this place. Both times, I got myself a green tea latte. It's so good. It's not too sweet, so I kinda like it. The place itself is tiny but packed with cuteness. The place is cozy. I brought my computer with me and was able to work from this place. The owner is so nice and always helpful. Overall, this place is amazing, and they need all the buzz. read more
Have you been here yet? Why not? You're missing out! I really enjoy getting the same drink here, the dirty abuelita, either hot or iced. It has a great flavor and texture, which cannot be compared to any other type of hot chocolate or coffee or mocha. The service is good and the atmosphere is so colorful! I really love the artwork and the mural outside. read more

I really loved this place. I had the cajeta latte and it was delish, not overly sweet. My mom had the passion mix fruit tea and you could taste so many flavors. Foood was also really yummy and such a good vibe in there. Try this place out! You won't regret it. I'll be back to try more coffee things! read more

I visited La Malinche in December and I can only say one thing- I am definitely planning my next trip to go here! I tasted their chai latte and cubano sandwich- it was so delicious and the ambiance there was amazing! I absolutely loved the vibes in that place; usually, a lot of coffee shops feel fast-paced, but this place was super calm. For what it's worth, I was also there at a not-so busy time, so I wouldn't mind if I had to wait again when it is! read more
