The service is also excellent. We are always greeted by most of the staff, they're always so sweet. It's a little small inside but my friend and I get up pretty early so we're always able to grab a table and sit for a while. Always clean and lovely inside.

There was only one person in line when we arrived and there were a few open tables inside. It's chill vibes, people were working on their laptops, reading, or hanging out with friends.

I explained that Yelp has an "Order" section that directs customers to DoorDash, where a chai is listed as an available item. Instead of simply explaining the situation, he was condescending and insisted that they were not affiliated with DoorDash. The employee making the coffee eventually had to step in and explain that they used to accept DoorDash orders but stopped about a year ago. If that's the case, this is clearly something the business needs to address. Their Yelp listing is still directing customers to DoorDash, creating confusion about what they actually offer and where they can order from. Mistakes happen, but there was absolutely no reason for the front employee to be so dismissive or condescending when I was simply trying to order something that their own Yelp listing indicated was available. Updating the DoorDash information would be a good start, and so would treating customers with a little more courtesy.

I got the strawberry lemonade matcha and I love the balance or sweet and tart the strawberry lemonade gave. The matcha paired perfectly! Service: Amazing! Two nice ladies were helping me and my party and I love how incredible their service was. I had a problem with my last visit with the service, but you can tell these ladies were incredible :) Ambiance: Still so clean and aesthetic since I've last visited.

It had an authentic ube flavor that tasted like actual ube instead of someone whispering "ube" into a regular latte. The Caramel Banana Latte was good too, but I've had better. The queso de bola ensaymada was absolutely superb. It was buttery, fluffy, perfectly sweet without sending you into a sugar coma, with just enough salty queso de bola to keep every bite interesting. The beef and asada empanadas disappeared embarrassingly fast. We probably should've ordered more. And can we take a moment to appreciate the parking lot? Finding parking in Silver Lake without circling the block 47 times feels like winning a small lottery. We had no trouble finding a spot. Come for the ube latte, stay for the ensaymada, and leave wondering why you didn't order a second empanada.

That said, the staff were genuinely kind and the space feels really inviting--somewhere you can actually sit and stay for a bit. There's plenty of seating, which I appreciate. Only downside is parking can be a little tough. Only meter parking but it's great for locals I'd still come back and look forward to trying other menu items like their horchata frappe and some of the bakery goods.

4.5/5 Such a cute, peaceful, and productive little spot!…read more You order at the walk-up window, then choose from several seating options: sidewalk tables, a cozy patio, or a quiet turf-covered area. I stopped by on a Wednesday morning and was pleasantly surprised by how many people were working remotely. Aside from one couple enjoying coffee under an umbrella out front, the patio and turf area were calm, quiet, and perfect for getting work done or simply enjoying a little solitude. I ordered an iced coffee with almond milk and definitely needed an extra pump of their organic brown sugar syrup. The coffee itself was good, though not particularly memorable. Since I don't buy coffee very often, $6 felt a little pricey to me--but I don't have much to compare it to. That's the only reason I'm giving it a 4.5 instead of a perfect 5. Overall, I'd absolutely come back for the relaxing atmosphere. It's a great place to work, read, catch up with a friend, or simply enjoy a peaceful morning. Highly recommend if you're looking for a quiet place to work or unwind! (Minus the loud motorcycle every now & then)

You order at the window, grab your drink, and then settle into the patio like you've made a very good life decision. For me, this is one of the better work-friendly coffee spots in the area. The patio is actually pleasant to hang out in, not one of those "technically there are chairs outside" situations. It has enough space and enough of a neighborhood feel that you can post up for a while without feeling rushed or wedged into somebody else's elbow. The coffee is consistently good, and I almost always get the Iced Cafecito. It's the drink that keeps me coming back: easy to crave, easy to justify, and somehow always exactly what I wanted. Not every longtime favorite survives repeated visits, but this one does. A reliable Silver Lake staple for good coffee, a nice patio, and low-key great sit-and-work energy.

The vibes were immaculate- cozy, relaxed and the kind of place that makes you want to stay a while. There was even a woman with two dogs and she had brought their little beds for them! We kept it simple with an Ube latte for me and a sunset punch for my partner. The latte was perfect and not that horrific sweetness that tends to be the hallmark of most places these days and the lemonade was fresh and perfect for a lightly sunny drive over to the West Side. I knew I had to have the English muffin from the moment I saw it. We requested it simply toasted with butter and jam and shared each half. I wish I had a dog to sit and enjoy my time there as they offered free drip coffee refills. Maybe that's where I'll be later this week as I'm definitely coming back, and soon!

The cortado was solid, though not one of the stronger ones I've had. Presentation and latte art were decent, but there were some visible micro bubbles and the surface had a noticeable two-tone appearance rather than a fully integrated, glossy texture. The drink was also served hotter than a cortado should be, which made it difficult to pick up the coffee's character at first. As it cooled, some pleasant citrus notes started to come through and the drink became more enjoyable. Overall, a solid coffee shop with great atmosphere. I enjoyed the experience, but I think better milk integration and a more appropriate serving temperature would have elevated the cortado quite a bit.

It was apple cider based with spices and also had a non-alcoholic spirit, making it a bit more than your average mocktail. It's $12 price is partially why it's less popular (according to staff) and while I wanted to try it, my need for caffeine led me to try a latte. Though "hot or iced" nor their milk offerings aren't mentioned on the menu, these options are available and so I got an iced almond milk latte. I accepted an offer for added honey for sweetener which was a lovely touch. They also have ice cream (!!) so I couldn't leave without trying a sample. I had a taster of their lychee flavor which was quite thick! I hope I'll have time to make it back before the flavor leaves the rotation as their summer items are going away soon. Plenty of street parking as it is located at the start of a cul de sac, most of which is still under construction. On my way out I noticed a little kitty watching my latte walk.... Perfect. Latte & service: 10/10 Kitty oversight: 20/10 I'll be back for a fall offering!
