La Malinche Coffee & Tea House
2110 S Halsted St, Chicago, IL
Crema's Take
“Tucked in Pilsen, this vibrant café wraps you in Mexican and Latin American warmth through its bright pink walls, whimsical alebrijes, and full piano—making it feel less like a coffee shop and more like a colorful living room where creativity thrives. They nail the specialty drinks, particularly their signature creations like the dirty abuelita and creative matcha offerings, while the kitchen brings genuine flavor through chilaquiles and avocado toast that go beyond typical café fare. It's the kind of place where you'll want to linger over your coffee for hours, whether you're meeting friends, working on your laptop, or just soaking in the art and charm.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Cafe featuring Mexican and Latin American flavors and flair. Loved the colorful art murals and decor. Food and pastries we got were solid and the dirty abuelita was delicious. Definitely worth stopping by, there's a good amount of street parking once you get off Halstead.
The drinks were good, your basic café fare. The food was the most disappointing, not very memorable but definitely will do the job if you're looking for a quick bite. I had a muffin and the cassanova crepe, along with the iced Matcha latte. Crepes are made in house, bakery goods…
