The Flights

Four cups on a paddle

The paddle is engraved with their own mark, and every cup gets labelled by hand in marker before it goes out. It is the thing people come back for, and it is the fastest way to work out which drink on the board is going to be yours.

“We did flights and each cup was 10/10.”

Highly recommend this cafe! The coffee options are so unique and full of flavor. The Cafe de Olla is probably the best brewed coffee I've had. We did flights and each cup was 10/10.

Love the warm, comfortable atmosphere here, and the unique drink menu offers plenty of options for coffee lovers. I personally LOVE the large picture window which allows you to watch the city move by with views into the hills of the Westside neighborhood. This is one of the best walking destination in the area.

I ordered the Cafe De Olla and the Marranitos. The coffee was smooth tasting with spices and cinnamon. I love it. The pastry IMO tasted like pumpkin, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. I recommend going to this coffee shop. Support local and not corporations.

Cute, authentic place with variety of coffees and fruit teas and some pastries. Decor s adorable- a lot of character... Flights were a fun option for those who wanted to try variety of drinks.

The room

Worth sitting in

Full height wood panelling, a brass chandelier, folk art on every wall and a counter faced in talavera tile. The big picture window looks out over the Westside.
