Crema's Take
“This Santa Monica gem brings authentic Oaxacan cuisine and Mexican breakfast to life with a warmth that matches its thoughtfully crafted drinks—think ginger-forward green smoothies and hibiscus beverages that taste as vibrant as they look. The staff genuinely cares about helping you discover flavors you might not expect, whether you're ordering a breakfast quesadilla or asking them to decode the magic behind their traditional specialties. With nearly perfect ratings and regulars who compare it favorably to the best kitchens in Mexico City, it's clearly hitting that sweet spot where specialty coffee culture meets serious food.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. Slow-sit spot. Full breakfast on the menu. Family friendly.

Unfortunately, quite a disappointing experience. We came here given the wonderful reviews, but the food and the café didn't really meet our expectations. Food is a bit pricey for the portions, and the café doesn't really leave you with an authentic feeling. The inside is quite…
