Aurora Cafe & Bakery

Quaint pastry shop with coffee tucked into the Financial Building. Customer service was top notch, so friendly and welcoming; they took the time to explain the different pastries, and I loved the cookie and concha! A super cute must-try 🌸

I ordered quite near closing time and none of the staff seemed disgruntled, I then had an absolutely lovely conversation with one of the owners, and had genuinely the best pastries think I’ve ever had? I got one of their coffee options and it was delectable as well. I cannot recommend this place enough, I’ll definitely be coming back!!

The owner was amazing when he explained the menu and drinks. The coffee I ordered was delicious, tastes like arroz con leche.. but better. The creme brule concha with vanilla bean filling was the chefs kiss. Seating area has 4 small tables but is cozy.

Delicious scratch-made sandwiches and pastries. The focaccia bread is thick and soft. The pastries have a unique blend of flavors. Check out their website for the menu and hours. Co-owners Javier and Kerianne Strickland Nunez have extensive culinary backgrounds which show in their food offerings. The cafe, with limited seating, is located on the ground floor of the office building on the southwest corner of College and Metcalf.

Absolutely loved Aurora Coffee Shop! I tried their chocolate conche, crème brûlée concha with both vanilla and salted caramel fillings, and it was incredible! I also had their coffee, and it was really good. Such a cozy spot with great treats. Definitely coming back! Highly recommend!
