La Tacita Café is a hidden gem for coffee lovers who actually want their coffee to taste like coffee.
I stopped by for brunch and had a chia bowls and three drinks, and everything was thoughtfully made and packed with flavor.
The chia bowl was the standout for me. The texture was perfect--not runny and not overly thick. It was naturally sweet and topped with ripe strawberries, banana, coconut shavings, honey, and a light crunchy granola topping. The cinnamon paired beautifully with the golden honey, creating a flavor combination that had me literally scraping the bowl for every last bite. The strawberries were perfectly ripe, and the bowl kept me full well past lunchtime. I also appreciated that it's made with all those toppings with no extra charge.
The Jamaica lemonade was refreshing and well-balanced. It wasn't bitter or mouth-puckeringly sour like some hibiscus drinks can be. Instead, it had a pleasant tanginess blended with sweet citrus lemonade that made it incredibly easy to drink.
For coffee, I tried the 16 oz Macadamia Nut Latte with 2% milk and the 16 oz Chocolate Hazelnut Latte with whipped cream. The macadamia latte was creamy, perfectly nutty, and still very coffee-forward. The macadamia flavor enhanced the espresso instead of overpowering it. The chocolate hazelnut latte was sweet and indulgent, but you could still clearly taste the coffee. It struck the perfect balance between chocolate, hazelnut, and espresso.
What impressed me most was that neither latte tasted artificially flavored or overly sugary. The syrups complemented the espresso rather than covering it up. If you're someone who loves flavored coffee but still wants the coffee itself to shine through, La Tacita Café absolutely delivers.
For about $40, we got three medium drinks and two chia bowls, which felt like a great value considering the quality, portion sizes, and freshness of everything we ordered.
