Crema's Take
“Cafe De Leche PCC has homemade pastries and a genuinely warm atmosphere that some regulars love, but this rating is based on just 16 reviews and masks real inconsistency—coffee and lattes are described as hit-or-miss depending on the day, and there are mentions of condescending staff interactions alongside praise for friendliness. If you go, expect specialty drinks (horchata with espresso, matcha ube) to land better than the core espresso drinks, and be aware the experience seems heavily dependent on who's working and when you visit.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

Came here on Monday at about 5:30pm. The guy taking my order was very pleasant. If I come back if and get the same treatment, I might have to up the service to 5 stars. Ordered the Horchata with Espresso, was very good. Needed a bit more Horchata flavor. I'm definitely going…
I wanted to update this review. I came back recently again and it's a huge improvement. Staff are friendly, and the drinks that I've had so far are good. They've done justice to the original location that's in Highland Park. My go-to drinks so far: Vanilla latte (definitely…
For a coffee and lattes it's really 50/50 on how good it will be day to day. Any other drink, cold or hot is amazing. Their banana bread is one of my favorites. Customers service is amazing as well!
