Cafecito
1924 N Uhle St, Arlington, VA
Crema's Take
“Cafecito is a beloved Arlington gem that serves up authentic Mexican brunch alongside expertly crafted specialty coffee, with an atmosphere so welcoming and unhurried that it feels like a gathering place for the neighborhood rather than just a café. The avocado toast, breakfast sandwiches, and steak options are as thoughtfully prepared as the drinks, and the staff's genuine warmth—paired with a curated music playlist and shaded outdoor seating—makes it the kind of spot where lingering over a meal becomes the whole point. If you're seeking a local treasure in the DC area that clearly prioritizes both hospitality and quality, this is exactly it.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

We really enjoyed our visit to Cafecito. The space has a great vibe, and it's a wonderful Latin-inspired spot with unique food and coffee options. I had never tried the *Café de Olla* before, and I really enjoyed it—it was a great experience. We ordered the avocado toasts, and…
I love this place! Have only gotten the opportunity to stop in about three times since I start work at 9:00. The coffee is always top notch and the food is incredible. I love how friendly the staff is. The outside patio is also great for those warm, sunny days. It’s such a cute…
Absolutely amazing experience! Went with friends for the first time and sat outside on a beautiful spring day. Ordered the horchata and cookie butter lattes, chilaquiles, beef empanadas, salmon avocado toast, breakfast burrito, and guava and cheese pastel. So tasty and…
This place had been on my list to try and it is worth the hype. A small little coffeeshop tucked away in Arlington. Open kitchen allowed for a very intimate setting seeing the owners delicately making each meal. The chilaquiles with salsa verde tasted just like a homemade meal!…
Best cafecito in town. Avocado toast with egg is great and breakfast sandwich too. Music playlist on point. Great experience overall. Don't come in a hurry, if so, order in advaced.
If you’re around DC and want a legit Mexican brunch, check out Cafecito in Arlington - about 15 minutes from Dupont Circle. Total hidden gem. Everything looked beautiful, tasted amazing, and the service was great. We lucked out with the day specials: chilaquiles and tamales.…
