Crema's Take
“Their house espresso blend is genuinely excellent—smooth enough to shine solo in a pour-over but structured enough to cut through milk—and the cafe Borgia with fresh orange juice is a signature worth ordering twice. The vibe is that rare old-school coffee roastery feel where regulars have been coming for decades, the pastries are solid, and there's actually enough seating (inside and out) to linger without guilt. If you want to taste what specialty coffee roasting was doing right before it became Instagram-focused, this is the place.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.

I love this cafe. Old soul, wonderful coffee. Neighborhood jewel! Also, the only place that serves cafe Borgia with fresh orange juice and zest. Must try! 😍
Wow. The plain black coffee here was as good as a "red-eye" (or a "shot in the dark") anywhere else! We had sandwiches for brunch. The Chile Verde Wrap was very fresh, clearly homemade. Delicious! The VERY large croissant sandwich was stuffed with egg, cheese, and Black Forest…
This coffee shop has been one of my favorites literally for decades. I first learned of it as a great source of coffee beans in the mid 1990s (I loved their La Minita beans which were my go-to for many years). They have a great bakery section with many choices (I enjoy the…
