We have passed this cute coffee place on the numerous trips we do for the various wineries in the area. So we decided today to stop by on the way home. The place just opened but yet we were greeted by the owners warmly. The husband and wife duo treated us like family. We waited 5 minutes for fresh coffee to be brewed and it was good! I only needed to add a dash of sugar and a swirl of milk. The coffee did not have a bitter aftertaste. Their pastries is so good too! We wanted to wait for the fresh tortillas but we had to hit the road. For sure on the next visit, I will have my fresh handmade tortillas with their coffee. This is not a frou frou coffee place. This place offers fresh brewed coffee and it's simple and basic but good. A definite must try when you are in the are and need a good cup of joe.

They don't have a robust menu like your Starbucks, but they have the basics of what you'd need. They've got frapps, lattes, americanos, iced coffees. They do have a huge amount of desserts! AND OMG, they were delish! I ordered the queso elote cheesecake and it was sooooo delish. We also ordered an apple pie to eat at home. Thanks Apple Pie!

We ordered a vanilla latte and pistachio latte and we also got their specialty apple cheese pie to try later. The lattes were good and the apple cheese pie was interesting tasting but good.

I hate the cliche term everyone uses now, "hidden gem," but this place is a bit hidden and a pleasant surprise. It's got a nice, rustic, modern feel. It's super busy with a team behind the counter. Both times I ordered the maple and salt latte, with whole milk. The flavor was unique and different. Good stuff. The young lady behind the counter was super pleasant to talk to. I didn't catch her name, but then I never do. She mentioned she has spent time in LA and helped me figure out which whole-bean coffee to buy for espresso. I wish I had let her fine-grind the beans for me. My coffee grinder nearly caught on fire trying to get it fine enough. Anyway, blah blah blah. The place is great. If you're there, get it.

Everyone's food was delicious. Pancakes are awesome, I had recommend the Hungry Man breakfast sandwich as well if you're up to the challenge. They use homemade biscuits for the bread, made a huge difference. Beware large portions abound. Also save room for their apple pie and huge cinnamon roll. Music was pretty contemporary and relaxing, to my surprise. Only negative thing I say was the lack of functioning air conditioners as the room is large and it was very hot. Although a cool breeze would come through the large windows once we ask they be opened. All in all, great breakfast place, a real surprise to us .

Luckily, I got there just before the rush and was seated quickly. The location has an amazing vibe, especially as it begins to fill up. The food was amazing!! The Cafe de Olla was some of the best that I have ever had. It is perfectly seasoned with cinnamon and requires no additional sugar or milk to be thoroughly enjoyed. Next comes the chips and salsa. The chips were crunchy and salted, while the salsa was actually spicy. Far too often, salsa has no spice, and this was fantastic. While we were waiting for our orders, we were offered the chance to order a taco, and I decided to try the carnitas taco. WOW. The flavor profile was insane. The carnitas were juicy, but the exterior was lightly smoked and toasty, which paired with the lime and toppings was very pleasant. My main was the Borrego Tatemado. It was phenomenal! The meat was very juicy, and the side sauce (Consomme) was some of the best I ever had. The restaurant does an amazing job of making this place feel like I am eating homemade food at a relative's.
