Crema's Take

Palo Santo Café nails the intersection of excellent coffee and genuinely crave-worthy Latin comfort food—their pumpkin spice horchata cold brew is exactly the kind of creative signature drink that keeps people coming back. The vibe is warm and welcoming despite tight seating, and the kitchen clearly takes as much care with their pastries and seasonal specials as they do with their espresso pulls. If you're willing to stake out a seat, this is worth the short detour for a breakfast or lunch that doesn't compromise on either front.

What to expect

Cold brew standout, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu.
