Cafe De Olla: A Cozy Culinary Gem for Breakfast & Brunch Enthusiasts

I like the place and food is good. But it's cozy and popular. So can be quite the wait on a weekend. The staff is attentive and kind. The thing to get here is either one of various French toast options or the classic Mexican style breakfasts. Their flavors are spot on and portions filling. The House coffee is unique and delicious and kind mulled coffee with sweet and savory spices. It not personally for me as I'm a classic black coffee kind of guy. My wife loved it cup after cup as it refilled unlike a latte or other one off drink.

Cannot overstate how amazing this little breakfast nook is. Be advised it is busy! But the service is quick, employees are attentive, the wait isn't very long. The food is incredibly delicious, very authentic. The best part? The salsa is ACTUALLY spicy!!! Takeout customers come in and out with a smile and all the customers are happy from what I can see. The portion sizes are great and again the servers are so friendly and attentive.

Food: My bf loved the Del Antojo. 9/10 I got to try some of his bolio with chorizo and cheese. Let me tell youuuuuu! I almost ate the whole thing lol. Del Norte plate 9/10 steak had the right amount of seasoning. The chilaquiles were good i just wish they were a bit more spicy just cause i like the heat. French toast 10/10 was crispy, buttery and sweet but not too sweet. The fruit toppings were perfectly ripe. Loved it. Drinks: We weren't big fans of the cafe de olla frappe it tasted sorta watered down with no cream flavor to it. Told the waiter we didn't want one of the drinks so they took it back and we were not charged for. Thankfully. Got a lemonade instead. Service: Attentive, very kind and polite waiters. Quick and easy. Ambience: kinda small inside, they have an outside dining area as well but it does get pretty busy here so most likely you'll end up waiting regardless.

Ambiance: I didn't really get a chance to see the inside, I was sat on the outside, which was essentially the sidewalk. Seems like a consistently busy place and a neighborhood favorite. Service: we had about a 1.5 hour wait, so if you plan on coming on the weekend, be mindful of that. When we were seated, everything seemed to come out pretty fast. Our server was nice and quick. Food: I never had a cafe de olla, and it was highly suggested, it didn't disappoint, I can see why people come just for the coffee. The chilaquiles and French toast were delicious as well. Overall, there are no complaints with my experience other than the wait. Street parking wasn't ideal but decent.

We are spoiled in that we have 3-4 great Mexican restaurants within walking distance This is one of them that is our go to for breakfast and in particular the burritos Always fresh and delicious It gets busy here so is not uncommon to see a line of people waiting for a seat It's not a big space so seating is both indoors and outside under umbrellas Service is good and yeah the food is delicious Worth a stop or if you are time poor order ahead for pickup and beat the lines

Firstly, I want to say that I'm not the biggest fan of coffee but this place has one of the best coffee I've ever tried. We got the cafe de olla coffee, which I think is a traditional coffee in the Hispanic culture and my favorite part is the hint of cinnamon in it. What I like most about it, the coffee taste doesn't mask the whole taste of the drink. I really enjoy the breakfast here, but didn't have time to order and just got coffee to go. Usually in the mornings this place has long lines, but it is definitely worth the wait. The restaurant itself is pretty small and they have some nice outdoor patio area to eat your food as well. Overall, this place is worth checking out and highly recommend getting the coffee and some Hispanic breakfast.

First thing you need to know is: get on their waitlist. It's accurate most of the time. The staff is attentive and makes sure to keep up updated if things changed. The food is good, decent portions and a lot of healthy options too. No secret the best thing is their cafe de olla. My husband thinks it's too sweet and he asks for it to be half regular and half cafe de olla. I think it's great. The place is small, outside patio (sidewalk) is also available so just be patient with everyone.

So many options to choose from the menu but since they serve breakfast all day, I chose to order an omelette which came with a choice of bread slice (wheat). Loved my omelette!! The hot sauce was perfect. Loved my hot cafe so much I had 3 cups (free refills). Not too many seats inside nor outside. Table for 7 people was pretty tight. Service was good. Got my refills quickly. Free slice of yummy cheesecake and they sing Happy Birthday to you. Check for 7 people cost me less than $200. Plenty of free street parking. I'm definitely coming back.
