The Cafecito not only shares a wall with Guerilla Cafe, but also shares in the superb quality of food and atmosphere. We walked in, a group of 3, on a Sunday afternoon. It turns out we caught them on time as they were set to close in about 25 mins. The staff were friendly and accommodating. I had the breakfast bowl and it quickly became my favorite breakfast dish around! The sauce is so delicious, the potatoes perfectly crisp. Seating is bench community style, inside is clean and full of plants and art (for sale!). Absolutely recommend visiting.

The Brekkie Burrito (how do they get those hash browns so crispy??) and a latte has become my preferred way to start the day in DTLA. The space is very cozy and lush with plants and all around good vibes from the staff.

I recently visited, and the experience was nothing short of fantastic! From the moment I stepped in, the vibrant atmosphere immediately stood out--there was a perfect balance of energy and comfort. The decor was lively, with plants and modern touches. It was the kind of place that made you feel right at home. Also great place to get some work done too! Now, the breakfast burrito was absolutely delicious. It was a perfect start to my day. The combination of scrambled eggs, bacon, perfectly melted cheese, and a little bit of salsa wrapped in a warm tortilla was a total crowd-pleaser. The seasoning was spot-on, giving just the right kick without overpowering the other flavors. Every bite was a satisfying blend of textures and tastes. It was hearty, but not heavy, making it the ideal morning meal. I'll definitely be coming back! Tried the breaky burrito and iced vanilla latte with oat milk

Hidden gem in DTLA alert!!! Checked it out because of an InKind discount offer. The burritos were so good and huge. And oat milk is the standard milk which is so cool! Loved all the plants - made sitting there so cool. And the people working were all so kind! Cannot wait to go back here soon!

What a gem! The interior is absolutely beautiful and full of life with all of the plants. The GTLA burrito was delicious! The steak seemed like really good quality and had great flavor. Along with fresh avocado, and their hash browns were like crispy potato sticks which were so unique but it worked!! And helped my burrito maintain quality when I didn't eat it right away. It was wrapped in foil so it didn't get cold either. I accidentally ordered my brown sugar latte hot instead of iced, but it was delicious. My burrito and coffee came out to $20 which I felt was pretty good value considering the quality of everything. I will definitely be back :)

First time here, was recommended by a friend, surprisingly a lot of parking available. Free street parking. It is a busy street. Kind of hidden, but once you're inside, such a cool atmosphere, tons and tons of seating, such a good vibe and soooo many plants that are for sale, friendly staff. Very clean. Simple menu but it is customizable. Very good food, tons of flavor, good coffees. Only reason I took one start off; this place was pricey, but I understand a lot of places are. I would also recommend and return.

GTLA Burrito: Phenomenal carne asada burrito, the meat is seasoned extremely well and you have a perfect balance between avocado , hash brown, cheese and salsa. If you're a fan on having lemony burrito this is it for you. The salsa on the side has a very chipotle taste but makes the burrito even better. * 9.3/10 Breakie: Extremely solid burrito. Eggs are soft and extremely puffy, the bacon is crispy with a Smokey taste to it. Would recommend and try it again as well. *8.9/10 Overall taste I would say the GTLA is better because the Asada. Fresh cup of OJ topped the meal perfectly.

Came in specifically for their hot Cafe De Olla latte but we were a bit early after opening and it was still being made. We ended up ordered the Iced version $5.50 and a Iced Lavender Latte $6. The lavender latte was delicious - they absolutely nailed that sweet floral taste. Unfortunately the iced cafe de olla latte tasted watered down. One of the workers Kimberly (i think) was so sweet and brought us a little sample of the hot version once it was ready. It had a chocolate taste to it, I think they might add in ibarra chocolate. It's different. We also ordered the GTLA burrito $13 - Carne Asada, Hash Browns, Cheese, Avocado and comes with Arbol & Avocado Salsa. AMAZING burrito! 10/10 and 100% ordering it again. It was large enough for us to share. They don't skimp out on the carne asada which is great. But it's more so that the flavor is so authentic. The blueberry cheese danish was good but they don't have a microwave/toaster own to heat up the pastries so would probably skip next time. All & all, enjoyed visiting this unique coffee shop.
