VEGAN-FRIENDLY!! I requested an awesome Mushroom Panini (not on the menu). It was so tasty with pickled veggies, freshly-sliced Nopalito cactus (healthy superfood!), the ambience is so nice, and the menu and Americano-style coffee was prepared perfectly every time with almond milk (which is not served at all cafes in TJ). Sr. Armando is the best barista, his wife is an amazing chef, and they have the best coffeeshop in TJ with AUTHENTIC perfectly-roasted coffee from the best parts of Mexico that rivals Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, and all others. Don't let the small cozy setting fool you, this coffeeshop is super fantastico!!! This place is a must stop in TJ for vegans and coffee lovers who want a cozy spot with good coffee, strong wifi, and great prices too!

Mom n pop cafe serving paninis , bagel sandwiches and coffee. I really liked their coffee, and the bagel sandwiches were filling . The owner was very nice, tried his best to communicate with me that they had no soy milk. He also told me they had an airbnb? Might check next time. Absolutely lovely owners, big smiles all around.

A wonderful ma and pa place. The gentleman that runs the place has three children. He greets you with the warmest smile and genuinely wants you to enjoy his city. He is unassuming and personable. Then the food and coffee comes ... rich and full of flavor.

This is such a cute little café! If you're staying at the Airbnb nearby, you definitely need to stop by and try the Latte Terranova and Mañanero bagel!
