Azucanela Churros & Coffee - Hawthorne

Colorful and joyful backyard art that instantly lifts your mood. We enjoyed a relaxing Saturday morning here with the family. The freshly made churros and cold brew were our favorites — the perfect weekend treat!

The last time I came here was with my bestie and it was nice atmosphere. So I wanted to enjoy it today. So this morning I went in for a coffee that can wake me up. When I ordered I just asked what coffee can help. First of the customer service was off, not inviting and just made me not order anything else. Just a simple cajeta latte hot. I said it twice hot with almond milk. And she kept repeating with oat milk. Had to correct it. So then I waited and she got busy with orders. I waited a while. So when I got my order it was iced not hot. It even said on the ticket hot. I told the cashier this is not what I asked for. For me it felt like I annoyed her when I said it wrong. And she did say she can make it again. But I was not going to wait again. I was over it. I’ve heard bad things about this place and this just assured that I wont be coming back. The coffee wasn’t even good. The after taste was blah. So ended up throwing it out and had Starbucks. Want to support small business but cooperate took my business.

This is a great place to grab traditional churros. They have good coffee too! The real treat is the outdoor space. If you are in the area and have a taste of something sweet, give them a try. Everything is made to order so plan on sitting down to enjoy the vibe.

Met here to catch up with a friend and it’s the cutest lil spot!!! Only a couple parking spots out front but plenty of street and neighborhood parking. Lots of seating options inside and outside with such intentional decor! I had the cafechata which is 1/2 cafe de olla & 1/2 horchata. That was only okay to me, but my friend had a cortado with pistachio syrup & oatmilk and loved it! It’s a churrería so we had to try some churro bites. They were delicious! If you’re in the area definitely stop by! Will def be back to try something else ☺️☕️

Azucanela is such a charming coffee shop! The atmosphere is peaceful and inviting, with beautiful decor that makes it feel cozy and special. I really enjoyed the coffee, it was rich and delicious. I tried the churro too; it had great flavor, though it was slightly undercooked. Still, this spot is definitely a hidden gem worth visiting!
