Vinaka Cafe

Service took 45 minutes from ordering two breakfast sandwiches to receiving them to-go, with no notice that the wait would be this long. The cafe did not look noticeably busy at the time and it did not even appear as though the food was being made until about 20 minutes after we ordered. The food tasted good once we got it.

Not a place for sweet tooth person who is on diet! I have no idea why I just found out this gem despite living in the area for quite some time. The overall atmosphere is so warm and cozy. People are longing with their laptops and I wish I had one when I did walk in so I could just sit and relax. I did togo though. The lemon cake is a bomb! Not super sweet and the lemon cream is just perfect. I am not an expert in coffee but to me the iced caramel latte was great. If I live a bit closer I’d come here instead of Starbucks of course. The lady at the counter was all nice and smiley that I have to give 5 stars cause she smiled (many just say hi and look at you like they’re done for the day). I saw varieties of cake so next time will def get something new. Be careful walking in cause no way you’re walking out without having a piece of cake.

Location, location, location. That's the reason for this place's success. Four of us got coffee here for the first time and all of us thought it was of poor quality. I had a cappuccino that I ended up throwing half of it away. It was very bitter and sugar couldn't make up for it.

Vinaka is a good local spot. I am a Chai Latte snob as we brew our own Chai at home, so I usually struggle with commercial Chai. Same is true here at Vinaka. It is not bad, definitely too sweet. I believe it is made from a powder. Don’t go here on a rainy day, never enough seating. On a normal day it is fine due to the out door patio seating.

Vinaka Cafe is a gem just a few blocks from the beach—perfect for a quick stop during a coastal stroll. I tried their Mexican coffee, and it was súper delicioso! My husband got a latte, which was smooth and flavorful. We also shared a blueberry muffin that was fresh, moist, and just the right amount of sweetness. The cozy atmosphere and friendly service made it a great experience overall. Whether you’re in need of a caffeine boost or a quick snack, Vinaka Cafe is an excellent choice. We’ll definitely be back!
