Charming little local Guatemalan spot with convenient parking and decent amount of tables to sit and study. This is my first time trying a shucos and I really enjoy it. Lots of flavor! The salty sausage compliments the avocado and bread but be prepared to get messy. I was pleasantly surprised that they served nami matcha and getting it half sweet was the move for me! All in all, would come back and try the other items read more

Staff is patient and helpful on recommendations. Coffee is decent and there is a punchcard reward system which I think is a nice touch. Inside is relatively clean and parking is shared with other business in the same complex. Came here for a girls brunch gathering, we saw a decent amount of people come in and out. I want to say thats why my food took over 20 minutes, it almost felt like my food was forgotten as my friends received their food ten minutes before I did. Food was tasty, I ordered the breakfast croissant with potatoes, I was very pleased to see turkey bacon on the menu as an option. This was reasonably priced at $11. read more

As a Guatemalan, I'm usually pretty skeptical of Guatemalan restaurants in the United States. Too often they carry the name, but the food doesn't really capture the authentic flavors of Guatemala. Because of that, I came to Café Reu with modest expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised. The first thing that stood out to me was the concept. This isn't your typical Guatemalan restaurant--it's a café with a modern, aesthetic vibe and a very welcoming atmosphere. The space is beautifully designed, cozy, and definitely Instagram-worthy. As for the food, I'd give it a solid 7/10. Some dishes are well executed, while others don't quite match the authentic flavors I grew up with. That said, the presentation is excellent. It's clear that a lot of care goes into how each dish is plated, and that attention to detail really elevates the overall experience. What I appreciated most was the concept itself. Café Reu isn't trying to be just another traditional Guatemalan restaurant; it's offering a modern take inspired by Guatemala, and I think it does that very well. I'll definitely be back--and in fact, I'm already planning my next visit. read more

If I lived nearby to Reu Cafe I would be here everyday, idgof if I'm broke lol. I love that their menu has so many options, ranging from traditional Guatemalan antojitos to classic American breakfast. I loved their garnachas and although the flavor was a little more on the simple side, I didn't mind it at all because they are filling. I was more surprised with how tasty the croissant breakfast sandwich! The hummus and avocado made it a lot tastier than the typical American cheese. And they come with the crispiest, lightest diced potatoes I've ever had. Omg how did they make these without feeling so greasy?! I also sought to try to their matcha and it was so tasty - it definitely hit. I hardly drink caffeine but I would def come back to try more of their drinks since they have sooo many good options. Prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you get. The aesthetics here are so cute and the staff is friendly and chill. I'm so glad they chose Hawthorne as their home and I hope this place sees a lot of success in their future :3 read more

found this cafe through an instagram ad but glad i did. the parking lot is pretty tight and most of the spaces are very compact. there is not much seating inside and garnered more towards solo diners or groups of 2. the breakfast chapin was not too heavy and it left me satisfyingly full. i like guatemalan tortillas because of their thickness and also the way they make their beans is a lot more palatable since it feels more like a sauce or paste rather than actual beans. also saw that you are supposed to put the cream on the plantains/bananas, which made it taste more savory than sweet. as for the matcha, i preferred the maple cinnamon matcha over the el quetzal as it has a stronger matcha taste. the el quetzal was a little on the sweeter side with the vanilla cold foam on top. read more

This place had been on my list to try since it first opened but it's a drive from where I live so when I was in the area I finally decided to give it a try. When I arrived it was very full, you could tell that a lot of the customers were returning customers. I was there for about an hour and people kept coming in. I ordered an iced Reu latte and an order of tostadas. The tostadas were delicious. And they were ready very quickly. The decor was very subtle but nice. They hav paintings of Guatemala and it's beautiful to get reminders of Guatemala. read more

I really enjoy seeing new cafes popping up. The fact this is Guatemala inspired coffee even better. They have coffees, lates, small bites and full plates. We ordered two to share between 4 adults and it was plenty. Parking is enough but can be chaotic as there are several business in the plaza. Coffees are delicious. Staff is helpful and attentive. You can go solo or with a group. read more

This place is great. It's convenient because it's by my work. The first time I went I loved my coffee, but the second time the barista was a little snooty and so when I asked her to put my cinnamon, she kind of looked at me like she was surprised that I knew that but other than that, I love this place because of the convenience read more

I came here based of tik tok recommendation, my review is now based off my second time here. To start the place is very plain. I think for a Guatemalan inspired cafe it is very lackluster. They could use so much color and inspiration from Guatemalan roots. The menu was decent, for a small cafe/menu wait time is quite long. Prices moderately pricey. It's a good place to wind down for a bit but does get quite loud so I wouldn't come for a homework or work from home day. I wouldn't try it again to see if things have changed. read more

¡Mucha! The moment my cousin and I heard this new Guatemalan spot had popped up in his 'hood, we made plans to visit immediately (and we're so glad we did!). Not only is the food classic and delicious, the space feels like an original and welcomed take on "Chapin" vibes. Being that I am health conscious and working on some fitness goals currently, I was delighted to see the nutritious bagel options on the menu. My perfectly prepared egg + avocado selection and American coffee were an amazing way to start my day! I cannot wait to see the places Reu is headed. read more

I'm only giving this a 4 out of 5 because I asked for over easy eggs and my yolk was cooked all the way in my eggs. So I was a little disappointed that I didn't have runny yolk. But other than that. I got the breakfast chapin to go. The beans are AMAZING !!!!! I can order just a tub of beans to go. I had mine with Bolio and bread was great not hard , plantains were amazing. Great Guatemalan food. When we first walked in we didn't know where to order we weren't greeted so assumed we had to order by ourselves on kiosk. Later to find out it was the foh kiosk and told us she places the order for us. That was the only tricky part. But once she helped us everything was good to go. read more

As a guatemalan, I can say that food here is flavorless. Unfortunately, it is all for the aesthetic. I was excited to hype up a local guatemalan cafe near me but there was no flavor and it is overpriced. I paid $5 for a flavorless rellenito when you can get them for $3 at other authentic guatemalan places. Their matcha is good ! There coffee not so great it's alright. Other than that it's just the aesthetic and overpriced. read more

This Cafe Is Small, but super cute. When we walked in this morning around 10 there restaurant was full, and everyone eating looking soo happy I struggled with what to order because everything looked soo good. I ordered the Guate Latte with Blue Cold Foam, it was delicious and sweet and very balanced, it had just the right amount of cinnamon. Did food I ordered the Tamale, it was sooo delicious . It was creamy rice based and the chicken and sauce was sooo good, it even came with bread. The workers were 100% a vibe and they answered the questions I had about the menu and gave me a few suggestions , I will be back soon for sure My Friend got the Shucu, and it was very good and filling He enjoyed his Rey Iced Latte read more

They've only been open for 2 weeks now. This place gets crowded fast and very easily. Because of the amount of foot traffic, it can be hard to find a table to sit at. The layout of this place is geared towards a coffee shop rather than a sit down restaurant. I ordered the Blue Cloud, Reu Latte, Breakfast Chapin and the Waffles + Eggs. I asked my eggs for the Breakfast Chapin to be Sunnyside up. One egg was just that and the second egg stayed on the stove a little bit longer than it should have. The Blue Cloud wasn't sweet, but it also didn't have a strong coffee taste to it. It was certainly missing an element to it. My partner had the Waffles + Eggs and substituted the strawberries and bananas for their plantains. I wasn't overly impressed at the plantains. I enjoyed my bread. The black beans were SO good. And the fresh cheese on the side was a nice salty item to have. As I look back on my photos, I feel like this plate should've been no more than $9. 2 eggs, black beans, bread, plantains, slice of fresh cheese... yeah definitely not worth $12.75. I could easily make this at home. But I was hoping by ordering it from a restaurant that it would have something extra that couldn't be recreated at home... my order didn't prove that. I also noticed from previous photos submitted by other Yelp reviewers that the serving sizes between the cheese and beans were not evenly proportional to every served plate. If they could find an equal balance of cheese and beans I think that would only be fair for the customer. I would've enjoyed and equal amount of cheese to beans on my plate. Service was friendly. They didn't provide the utensils for our order. You pick up your own food at the counter. I didn't find any napkins on any tables. The hot sauces were limited and on the counter were you pick up your food. The Waffles didn't come with any syrup or butter. We had to ask for it at the counter. The wait time to get your food was a little bit longer than I feel it should've been. They certainly have some minor kinks to work on as a new business. The "Waffles" was really just ONE single waffle divided into 4 small pieces, 2 eggs, 3 small plantains = $12.75. Another menu item I could recreate at home for less than $7 that didn't prove to be anything special. Congrats on a adding a new restaurant showcasing the diversity of options to choose from, but you won't find me coming back here. Our friend had their tamale and it was good. read more

I absolutely love Reu Café it's a cozy Guatemalan-based spot that honestly feels like a little hidden gem Their blue cold foam coffee is so beautiful and tastes just as good as it looks Whether you're craving breakfast, lunch, or dinner, everything on their menu hits their plates are full of flavor, and they even have great lunch specials! I love coming here when I get a little time to myself either to catch up on work or just enjoy a quiet moment. It does get busy in the mornings, but the evenings are perfect for relaxing and enjoying your coffee in peace read more

Straight up this is a good spot for some coffee and grub. Even though we did not order food other customers did and it looked really good. The staff was super friendly and open to answering questions. It's rather loud inside when full especially at lunch time obviously, so keep they in mind if you prefer a quiet spot. Otherwise, just suck it up and drink you're coffee lol. I had the iced blue cloud, americano with vanilla and cold foam good choice and my wife had the iced Reu latte, also good but I'd choose the blue cloud if I were you between these two choices. Parking can be a premium so be prepared to not find parking or maybe park in the neighborhood behind the store. Good local spot to experience something new. Enjoy... read more

As much as I wanted to like this place it was just OK. My husband is Guatemalan(Born and raised there) and I like to try different food but this was just a complete miss in Presentation, Taste and not very authentic from other places I've tasted. As we enter there are only a few tables to sit and it was pretty full for a Sunday Morning we were Able to get a small table but the bottom leg was very wobbly so every time we tried to get food our table would wiggle. The ambiance was loud cause there were some families just lingering around and a bunch of kids running around. When our food came out we were slightly disappointed with the presentation of the Tamal the texture was just off and there was no flavor to it whatsoever (we did not finish it) Rate: 2/10 Their Chuchito was simply ok but nothing special about them honestly, the sauce filling was overwhelming and just a small piece of the chicken filling and that was it if the sauce would have had a better flavor it would be a bad bite but was very meh. Rate 3/10 One of our Favorite things was the Breakfast Chapin: came with four choice of eggs, black beans, plantains and cheese and sour crème it was flavorful and had great taste (you can get the Gordita looking tortillas or Bread with the order) we enjoyed this plate I'll give it a 7/10 We also tried the Guate Latte and that had good flavor Overall Experience was OK would I go back, Not really cause it wasn't authentic and I've tasted better. They had this Green Salsa but I wasn't able to get my hands on it cause they only had a few going around maybe that would have given it somewhat of flavor. It was a bit too loud for my liking and was a bit overwhelming cause the place is small. I love the simplicity of the place the art work and all but as I cleaned my table for the next person and threw trash out I did notice a lot of food was being thrown out that wasn't even bit into so that told me a lot a lot of food was being thrown out. Also parking was a bit full as the shopping center it's at can get full as well. read more

This place is in a nice little plaza with plenty of parking. The staff was friendly and kind. gave good suggestions and helped with any questions we had about the menu. I came here with a few friends for breakfast. Not too many other people were there. The inside is nice bright and clean. Lots of seating as well! We all got different things to try I got the shucos with a matcha latte w spirulina foam. my friends got mixtas and tamales. The food and drinks came out pretty quick and everything smelled delicious. the matcha was gooood. i love matcha and have become quite picky with it, but the matcha was perfectly creamy, umami flavor and the spirulina gave it the perfect amount of sweetness. the shuco was made of turkey meat and the buns had been toasted with avocado, and had toppings of cabbage slaw, mayo, ketchup and mustard. I realllly liked it! it wasn't too heavy and the flavors were great. My friends also enjoyed their food and had good things to say about their coffee and tamales. All in all a great place to try authentic Guatemalan food! I will definitely be coming again to try their other menu items. read more

Coffee 5 out of 5 Food it's average, mixtas are ok But the pollo con papas was bad chicken was cold even when they took it back to put it in the microwave it was still cold I have been there quite a few times. I will stick to the desayuno chapin and cafe latte read more

First time here, came to try their matcha and tamales based on reviews. Personally I didn't like the drinks i ordered, first sip taste just like milk. Took a few more sips and the matcha flavor was not there. I do prefer my drinks less sweet but I could not taste the agave at all. read more

Visited Reu Cafe for the first time and had such an awesome experience! I don't believe there are any Guatemalan coffee shops in the area. Staff are friendly and my Guate-Latte was delicious.

You order and sit and you pick up your food once it's ready, customer service was good, staff is friendly and recommended what is good. I got quetzl matcha, I liked that it had matcha taste and didn't just taste like milk and sweetener. The Chuchito was good just that mine had bones in it so could be a safety hazard if not careful.

I went there today Feb. 7 2026 I saw the advertisement they do on TIK TOK thinking the Guatemalan food was going to be extraordinary. This is not even close to be Guatemalan Cuisine.

I tried this place and got the Rey Coffee, highly recommended by the sweet young girl at the register. I proceeded to seat and just chill and enjoy my coffee.
