Picaresca Barra de Cafe
2931 East 4th St, Los Angeles, CA
Crema's Take
“Picaresca brings authentic Mexican coffee culture to LA with standout drinks like café de olla and creative lavender matcha that locals can't stop raving about. The mint-green storefront and hand-drawn interior create an inviting neighborhood vibe perfect for lingering, though the kitchen's execution can be inconsistent—come for the expertly-crafted coffee and cozy atmosphere rather than the food.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program, good cold brew. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.
