    The coffee is not just good but arguably the best in LA. Despite that, what makes this place so special and UNIQUE is the people working there making sure they deliver an experience that goes beyond tasty drinks

    Ive been wanting to try this place for the longest because I would religiously buy their beans when I first got my espresso machine and they were so good! I was in the area with my partner and we have both been wanting to try. First off its in a small corner and its street parking so keep that in mind. The inside was very nice and pretty! I love how their pretty vocal about the current issues happening right now. We ordered a burrito, a pino latte, and a cafe de olla latte. The burrito was okay! Not really a fan and there was only a small piece of bacon in there. The coffees, however were some of the best coffees in a long time like genuinely. It was a perfect balance of sweet and coffee and the flavor profile was just unique with el pino latte. Not too milky not too bitter but what an iced coffee should be. I 100% recommend !

    I stopped by Picaresca Barra de Café for breakfast and coffee and had a good experience overall. I ordered the chicharrón breakfast burrito and it was tasty. The egg inside was over-easy, which gave it a unique flavor that I actually enjoyed. The only thing is the ingredients inside didn't feel evenly balanced in every bite, but it was still good. The café de la olla was really good,great flavor and a nice complement to the burrito. The salsa also stood out with the perfect level of spice. It's a pretty small spot, so parking is very minimal, but the food and coffee made it worth the stop. I'll definitely be back to try the chilaquiles and other breakfast burrito options.

    Finally decided to try this cafe I always drive by since it's always busy. The employees were really sweet, and the decor inside is cute I like the atmosphere and the indoor/outdoor work space. We ordered the chilaquiles (they were ok, just drowned in sauce), the hash brown (weren't ready edible, they tasted like grease/bacon/and eggs almost as if the grill wasn't cleaned in between making breakfast for others). The coffee was okay, didnt seem strong. Just like a regular pick me up. I liked the cafe, but not sure if I need to head back.

    I've been enjoying Picaresca's delicious drinks since 2022 when they were still at their first location by Sears tower. I'm incredibly pleased to see how they've gotten even better since they moved to their second location! Ambiance: Great! Good amount of seating especially for a smaller space. Love that they have indoor and outdoor seats. Their restrooms are always clean and I usually have an easy time finding parking within a block or so. They're also a very principled business, they often have cool community posters/art up! Service: The employees are nice, I like seeing new faces every time I stop by. Food & Drinks: As mentioned above, I've loved their drinks since 2022 and I can say they're still just as good as they were back then! Their previous spot had sandwiches and pastries that were decent, but the introduction of meals to their second location was actually SUCH an epic move. Now they have fabulous drinks and amazing food to pair it with! My favorite are the chilaquiles! I look forward to trying their newest location soon!

    I was recommended this spot by a friend. The small spot is next to a park. Parking can be tricky since it's mostly street parking which tends to be packed. There is indoor & outdoor seating which is nice. I ordered the chilaquiles enfrijolados & a matcha. Both were 10/10. A yummy combo. This spot offers intriguing drinks which will make you come back to try them. The staff were open to questions. This business is also an important part of the community by voicing & advocating for those who can't. A business to truly support. I will definitely be back to try their other brunch options. Also, love the art!

    Came here with my family for my birthday breakfast. We all enjoyed the food. I got chilaquiles and a matcha. I enjoyed the chilaquiles but they were definitely spicy for me. I ordered a bean cheese burrito as well. The burrito is made with black beans. The beans were very tasty. I was a fatty and added the chilaquiles sauce to the burritos and it definitely made the spicy level go down. We ordered French toast for the table and the meal came with strawberries, blueberries, and bananas. Come to this place to eat and support a local Latino business. There was a non-stop line the whole time we were here. Also, F&$k Ice!!!! This place does not support this administration which is a plus!!! Also, we were lucky to buy banuelos from a local vendor that went through the restaurant. We found out that they sell her bake goods at the cafe as well.

    This cafe has a very cute and warm vibe. We ordered two different kinds of omelettes, both tastes really delicious . I also ordered their ginger rose latte, it tastes so good!! They also sell craft and artworks from local artists. Love supporting small and local businesses!

    This spot has been on our list for quite a while and have been wanting to go again soon after trying it for the first time a few months ago. Here's what we ordered: **Cafe de Olla Latte: Solid drink. Flavor profile was very balanced. It's been hit or miss for cafe de olla drinks for me but this one hit the spot. If you're looking for a more basic signature latte, this one may be the right fit for you. (5/5) **Pino Latte: Gf loved this drink. I'm generally not a fan of rosemary but it was still very good.You can taste every flavors listed but what raelly stood out was the unique rosemary flavor - very earthy and refreshing. (5/5) **Tamarindo Tonic: I love a good espresso tonic but what's better than a simple ET? Something that's really unique like the tamarindo tonic served here. Loved every aspect of the drink from the tamarind & ginger syrups, their tonic water, and espresso. You can taste every single flavor listed and it was evenly balanced. It also came with a little spoon of that tamarind candy which was a nice little touch. Very refreshing and a great option for all you ET lovers out there! (5/5) Service was great. Line was out the door but it went by quickly. One thing we regret at the time was not ordering their food items because everything looked delish! The lot is very small so parking onsite is one in a million. We parked a few blocks away so that's your best bet unless you've won the lottery before. We will definitely be back. Picaresca is easy to miss but you should check it out for your next coffee adventure!

    Chilaquiles verde

    This unassuming mint green building may not look like much from far away, but inside is one of the best cafes in the area! Parking is easy and plentiful (street only) unless you're lucky and can get one of the handful of spots in the lot. We ordered the machaca burrito, the breakfast burrito, the chilaquiles verde, and the evergreen latte. Everything was a hit!!! The chilaquiles came with a running egg on top and the salad was delicious. The chips were crispy and stayed crispy throughout the meal. The burritos were all soooo good. The cheese is used in both are special and from Mexico and made the burritos unique. The machaca was a real standout - almost smoky tasting and unlike anything I've had. There's plenty of seating outdoors and some indoors as well. The coffee was also great! We want to come back ASAP and try more drinks and the red chilaquiles.

    Matcha pineapple tonic
    Winnie L.

    Picaresca is located in an unassuming mint-green house-like building. Upon entering, the staff was welcoming and courteous. The ambiance was clean and cozy, with indoor seating and a few tables outside. The only downside was that the music was a bit too loud, making conversations a little tough. I ordered the matcha pineapple tonic since I'd never seen that combo before. It's a sparkling matcha drink with pineapple syrup on the bottom, so it definitely needs a good mix. It was refreshing, but the matcha flavor was almost nonexistent. I also tried their Evergreen Matcha and felt the same. The matcha was very light, and the drink tasted mostly like milk. Parking is mainly street parking in the surrounding residential area, but it wasn't too bad. I found a spot about a four-minute walk away. There are also 2 spots at the front of the cafe.

    I personally really love this place! Their lattes are delicious and they have one of the best breakfast burritos and chilaquiles. They don't really have much parking (maybe like 2 spaces in front of the location) but I always find a spot on evergreen st. next to the park. Staff is friendly and always welcoming, love the vibe too! Don't hesitate to try this place

    This time ordered only Matcha Latte with oat milk. It's super good. Every sip of the drink, I can taste Macha. Some where else, taste more milk than Matcha. It's only $5 compared to the great taste. They also have delicious Breakfast Burritos. The Machaca Burrito was the one I had before. It was so big and delicious. I could eat half and left another half for another meal. Did not know about service because we ordered online to be picked up. I guess the service is good because they never missed our order.

I think there's only 4 or 5 dedicated parking spots available out front so you'll likely have to street park unless you get lucky. It can be difficult to find as the entrance is more on Santa Fe than it is on Mateo. I ordered an iced chai latte and my date ordered a pour over. I think he was pretty satisfied with his drink but my drink was mediocre. Chai lattes are my go-to so it's easy for me to compare and the drink here just doesn't have as much flavor as I expected and tasted watery. Not itching to return but if I did, I'd order an açaí bowl or a pastry as those seem pretty good.

She was genuinely engaged in talking about coffee, understood the beans she was serving, and was able to answer questions without hesitation. That's becoming harder to find these days, and it definitely added to the overall experience. The cortado itself was well executed. The temperature was right where it should be, allowing the flavors to come through immediately without having to wait for the drink to cool down. I was able to clearly taste the notes in the coffee, and the balance between the espresso and milk was excellent. The body held together nicely throughout the drink and never felt thin or watered down. My only critique would be that the crema and microfoam leaned a little more matte and foamy than glossy. It wasn't enough to take away from the drink, but a slightly silkier, shinier texture would have elevated it even further. That said, this was an Ethiopian natural, which can be a bit trickier to dial in and pair with milk while still preserving the character of the coffee, so it's a fairly minor criticism. Overall, a very good cortado from a shop that clearly cares about coffee. Good execution, proper temperature, clear flavor separation, and knowledgeable staff always make for a better coffee experience.

I decided I needed to take a detour to a coffee shop since we already kinda got lost. Deep Barrel Roasters & Creamery, is located in a small and old strip mall in old town Norco. Or at least I think it is. I'm not familiar with the area. I can tell you though, that navigation had us driving through newer developments and then the old part of Norco before we finally arrived. I thought we got even more lost at first. The place was actually pretty packed inside and after having our drinks and pastries, I can totally see why. The first half of the building is the cafe where you'll be greeted with some cute and funny coffee signs. There's two large shelves full of their own coffee beans of different roasts. They have a few small tables to sit and enjoy your orders, but note it is a bit of a tight fit in there. They also have a coffee bar where some people sat in front of the baristas. Past the cafe side is the creamery. I was in a rush and didn't have a chance to take a look. What we ordered; 1) Hot Mocha Rocha with soy milk - 5/5 stars. I forgot to ask for this as half sweet, but either way, it was absolutely delicious. Rich and very flavorful. 2) Iced Mocha Rocha - 5/5 stars. Just as delicious as the hot version. 3) pistachio muffin - 3/5 stars. This muffin had a generous amount of actual pistachio baked into the muffin itself which I liked, however, the muffin had more of an artificial pistachio flavor for me. I still ate it but I wasn't in love with that one. 4) chocolate croissant - 5/5 stars. This was such a hit, we ran out right away. Everyone in our group attacked these so fast. I have to say, I am SAD that I live so far from Deep Barrel Roasters & Creamery. They have a lot of pastries, ice cream including deep fried ice cream, and beverages. I absolutely loved this place and look forward to visiting them again. Next time, I for sure will grab a dozen or more to share with the family and bring some home, and we will definitely grab some frozen treats too. Deep Barrel, is a gem. Norco, sure is lucky to have them. They are a must if you are ever in the area.
