Cara Vana Coffee Shop

Found this place near my Airbnb, it was a nice little find on the bust street. Parking was a bit of a pain for the area but we found a spot and walked 2 minutes in the beautiful day. The customer service was great, and she recommended a hidden menu item: chilaquiles. So we had that and a acai bowl. Sat outside on the cute little patio and enjoyed the quiet space. I really like this place and will be coming back. I highly recommend a stop in.

I am very dissatisfied with my overall visits. I went a second time to give it another try. I’m not expecting customer service to always be 100%, we all have our days. I found you guys on Tik tok and was very intrigued and excited to try. However, the crew working here (specifically two gals) are rude and not helpful when asking questions. They gave me so much attitude both times! I feel so dumb for even coming in a second time after being treated poorly. I really did enjoy the banana lattes, but the first time I got it it didn’t taste like there was much banana in it plus, I didn’t realize how small the cups were so I wanted to upgrade my size and add an extra shot. For some reason, I was charged more than $5 for one drink? Makes absolutely no sense. I had an issue with my drink the second time, it tasted like nothing but milk, I had no flavor in it (i could tell). I respectively went up to register to get some help in the issue and they made it such a big deal. Customer service should be the most important when it comes to any restaurant or coffee shop. I am just very disappointed and did not like how I was treated. I was not feeling good and was just looking forward to the banana coffee. Just not a good experience. There’s no way to contact any management either.

Solid coffee. Cozy Atmosphere. Great service. You walk in and immediately feel like you should be wearing a beanie and talking about your screenplay… in a good way. I didn’t try the food, but I’m particular about coffee beans. Like, the kind of person who judges a café’s entire moral character based on their Americano. Because if that sucks, everything else is just espresso cosplay. Thankfully, this place gets it right. Smooth, balanced, not bitter. It slaps. My friend always orders the fruity, oat-milk, lavender-foam, whatever-drink. And that’s fine. But I’m out here conducting serious bean analysis, not sipping a mood board. Oh and the staff are genuinely happy you exist, which is rare these days.

We’ve been looking for a new close by coffee shop and Cara Vana showed up on Google. We desperately need more cute places like this in the area and I’m so glad it’s here. Our cold brew and iced latte were good. We also got the breakfast burrito which was really good for a smaller coffee shop, they didn’t skimp or just throw it together like other places. I do wish there was a verde salsa option but it was still very good! It’s cute and clean and everyone was very nice, excited to come back!

First time here - tried the Green Burrito, Breakfast plate, and Horchata Latte… great food and enjoyed really enjoyed the latte. They carry Cake Monkey pastries (love them). Service was very friendly and timely. Lighting is great for working. Added bacon to the green burrito - the fresh ingredients and creamy cilantro sauce were a perfect combo. It even came with a cute little side of watermelon. Breakfast plate was straight forward, soft eggs, potatoes, bacon, side of avocado. 2 tables inside and 3 high rises… Sat outside on the patio. Nice coverings from the sun and a beautiful mural of Frida Kahlo to stare at while you eat and sip.
