This at first glance inconspicuous place turned out to be an extremely good café during our visit. The cappuccino was top quality and the latte art extremely professional. Additionally, the barista was friendly and fairly knowledgeable about bean tasting, roasting, and espresso extraction. Cappuccino 8 out of 10

This is a great little coffee shop. They serve coffee grown and roasted in Oaxaca. Carlos is a great barista and has a great recipe for a carajillo. It's the perfect iced beverage for Oaxaca. They have almond milk. Also hand stirred cocoa.

A very cute, modern, and female-owned coffee shop whose coffee is delicious! The mezzanine area is suitable for work and a nice place to chill and hang out. Order the carajillo — it is delicious, especially on a hot day! Support local!
