Believe Cafe

Crema's Take
“Believe Cafe is a warmly personable spot where thoughtfully crafted specialty drinks—their matcha latte and horchata latte are standouts—meet genuinely delicious Latin-inspired pastries like chorizo and egg empanadas and chicken mole. The staff's genuine friendliness and early 6am opening make it perfect whether you're grabbing a quick caffeine boost before your shift or settling in with a partner for a leisurely morning, and the fact that they nail both their coffee technique and their food means you won't feel like you're compromising on either.”

My boyfriend and I stopped by this coffee shop for a quick grab and we were not disappointed! Very friendly staff! We got the chicken mole and chicken tinga empanadas and they were DELICIOUS !!! My boyfriend tried their fan favorite Horchata latte and it was so good! I had their coconut cold brew - perfect for a more bitter tasting coffee but if you like sweeter taste I’d go for a coconut latte! We def would come back !
The 5 star reviews are certainly deserved! The staff are friendly and personable. The matcha latte was perfect, not too bitter but also not fake or sweetened. They offered me a free sample of the horchata that’s made from scratch and it was yummy! Gave my dog a pup cup :) excited to go back and try the empanadas
Came here for the horchata latte and it was SOOOOO YUMMY!! also had the chorizo and egg empanada :P very delicious (pic taken elsewhere). Very friendly staff as well !! definitely coming back to try other drinks 🫶
Wow! Okay, I had no idea what to expect when we came here, but we were in the area and my partner needed some coffee. He saw that this place was highly reviewed and brought us here. I ordered the lavender milk tea which has lavender foam atop unsweetened, iced black tea. The foam is delicious! And as long as you drink it from the lid, not a straw, you get a good mix of foam to tea all the way till the end. This is soooooo tasty! One of the best I’ve ever had. It’s not a traditional milk tea though; so, don’t go in expecting that. It’s foam over iced black tea. The foam is what adds the milk as you drink it. It isn’t heavy. It’s just perfect. If I lived closer to this place, I would get this all the time. My partner got the mocha frappe. This isn’t super sweet; you can definitely taste the coffee as well as the chocolate. It has a great ratio of each. He highly recommends this. Overall, we are stoked we came here and definitely suggest you stop by and try one of their drinks.
I want to start by saying that im glad there is a coffee shop that opens early at 6am! I needed a pick-me-up for my morning shift, so i decided to stop by here and definitely was not disappointed! I ordered a caramel frappe & ham egg cheese empanada! They were both amazing! The empanadas was so good and hot! Definitely such an amazing breakfast to ever bite into! Literally would order again! The caramel frappe was indeed great as well! It was just right! Im going to have to visit this place again for their signature horchata latte! Overall, it was an amazing experience! The young lady was super nice and welcoming! This place is perfect for to go orders! Hopefully it gets expanded because they deserve all the success! Can't wait to visit there again!
