End of the day rush and our barista here was fast, casual, interactive, and not keeping anyone waiting too long. And the house was packed in the last hour they were open. If it were me, I wouldn't be having nearly as good a time handling the entire busy cafe all by myself. Super profesh 10/10 😁

I love this place and have been coming for years now. Lately the experience doesn’t feel the same, whoever is working Friday PM seems distracted with an airpod in her ear while taking orders. Tamale came out cold and made a drink of mine Hot instead of iced. Second time this happened with the same girl! Will continue to go but miss the initial vibe :)

First time checking this place out. Lot's of different options and many way to drink cacao. The place is small and quaint. But has a good energy and is nicely decorated. Not too many places to sit. Location is clean and staff was nice. Would definitely recommend, especially if you are a lover of cacao. Will be back!

Delicious bananita chocomil ($9). Vegan empanadas ($6.95). I recommend the "beef" and onion over the spinach mushroom for a flavorful filling. The dough was a little thin and soggy, but I understand they are from an empanada shop off-site. Espresso was the most affordable item ($3) and good. Unfortunately, none of the chocolate bars or drinking chocolate are in my budget ($11.99-17.99++). Quick and friendly service. No wifi and no electrical outlets, so THIS IS NOT A WORK CAFÉ. Just making that clear for people like me that might be considering winging it on a deadline. My bad. If you wanted an espresso and a fancy treat, it would be a good spot. Some things were higher price than I expected, so I think I viewed an older menu.

On the recommendation of my daughter I stopped by and what a great choice. Excellent customer service. The barista asked me a couple of questions and then suggested the Damiana Cardamom. Such rich vibrant flavors. I ended up buying two different ceremonial cacao as well. I will be back.
