I had the best dirty chai of my life! And the barista was friendly and helpful. I will stop by every time I am in Ensenada.

Un lugar muy agradable, es minimalista y es bonito. Te atienden bien, te hacen sentir bienvenido. Los precios son accesibles con relacion a la calidad del café (el cual es muy bueno). Me gustó mucho haber ido a este lugar, no dudare en volver, por lo tanto lo recomiendo.

Cozy spot to relax. I enjoyed the best carrot cake—moist, flavorful and just enough cream cheese icing allowing the taste of the cake to come thru. The espresso coffee was on point. It feels like you’re at home with pleasant conversation with the staff, and courteous service. Beautiful photographs on display
