Found this cafe on Google maps and decided to come try it out with friends. The cafe has limited seatings and the line at the front desk had been long at the time we were in the cafe. I had Abuela latte and Abuela pancakes (if you like chocolate as much as I do). It's a lot of pancake, the latte was pretty good. My friends all ordered the horchata latte and said they were good. The service was great, the waiter and waitress came to check on us many times. Many of the patrons were there to get take outs but I can see it gets busy. There is also outside seating area. I'll probably bring my family here next time and try other items on the menu.

Good breakfast or lunch spot. Service breakfast all day. They server beer, micheladas and mimosas. Family friendly. Good coffee, tasty authentic Mexican food! Be prepared to wait to order during peak hours, and it’s a seat yourself style service. Street parking only.

I've visited this spot multiple times, and it never disappoints. While it may be on the pricier side, the quality of the food makes it well worth it. They offer a variety of vegetarian and vegan options, including plant-based eggs and cheese, which is a nice touch for those with dietary preferences. They also have alternative milk options, so there's something for everyone. The restaurant can get quite busy in the mornings, so be prepared to wait, but I promise it's worth it. Despite being a small space, the vibe is warm and welcoming, with a strong sense of Mexican heritage reflected in both the atmosphere and the food. The place is always clean, and the staff is attentive and friendly. Plus, the food is made fresh to order, ensuring every dish is delicious. Highly recommend it if you're in the area!

Dates: 8/22/2020 (Saturday) & 8/23/2020 (Sunday) SO LET ME BREAK IT DOWN IN SECTIONS ... This place was pretty good (8 out of 10 Stars). The FOOD: it was surprisingly good. The Chilaquiles are great and The Cafe de Olla is pretty good (but my both of Grandmother’s were WAY BETTER- guess nothing beats grama’s cooking 🤷🏻‍♂️). The Tres Leches Pancakes and the Pan Dulce French Toast are exquisite! The Hot chocolate was presented beautifully but I felt and the taste wasn’t to my expectations. I asked if they used the old school Chocolate Abuelita tablets and I was told yes. Yet, it didn’t taste like chocolate Abuelita...🤔. The PASTIRES: good traditional selection plus a few extra sweets. That’s a solid 10 out of 10 stars. The SERVICE: it was great -THE 2nd time! The first time I eat there was the day before and the girl who took my order rolled her eyes at me because I wanted to order a couple of drinks and a pastry as we waited to be seated. She was still nice though. The WAITING TIME: 1st time @11:30am -seating time wait was 49 minutes- party of 2 2nd time @ 9am - seating was immediate - Party of 6. Would I come back, most definitely. 👍 But! There’s always a butt (😆)... I Won’t be ordering the hot chocolate.

This place is pleasant and chill environment. I love coming here!! I wish I could eat everything from here! Their drinks are specially outstanding! They are really traditional is the sense that they taste authentic! The CAFE DE OLLA taste exactly how it should. There are so many drinks! Can’t go wrong with any of them. The food is delicious. We had a burrito and we’ve had amazing burritos so we can be hard critics when it comes to them. These burritos were surprisingly outstanding! Service is good. It’s not so much like a restaurant where there’s servers, you sit where ever you like and they bring your food over. Great place! Cool and interesting dishes and foods to try!

We got there around 12pm on a Sunday. Waited in line an hour. Ordered our food. Food took maybe another 30 minutes. We ordered chilaquiles (red and green), tres leches pancakes, an abuelita coffee with oat milk, and a hibiscus lime soda. Two of us have dairy issues so we ordered the chilaquiles without queso fresco and added vegan cheese. The orders came out with sour cream so we had to wait while they remade them. The hibiscus lime soda was my favorite thing there. I might try it again when the line isn't so long.

Stopped by this cute cozy breakfast spot on a Tuesday morning around 8:30am 3 people total. Greeted by staff and waited in line to order. Friendly cashier took our order. Small food menu decent drink menu. Our drinks came out quickly food took a little longer. Two coffee and 1 lemonade. The latte and Cafe de Olla were warm at best. Not hot not coffee hot. Food was also warm, it had good flavor just on the colder side. I'm not one for piping hot food but even this was cold for me. No one ever came to check in on us or offered any condiments or extra napkins nothing. Cute place, nice atmosphere, Friendly Staff, clean place, food and drinks could be better.

Food: 3/5 Wife and I ordered the Chicken Acapulco Torta ($11.49) and churro waffle ($10.49). The torta sandwich itself was decent, chicken was well cooked but lacked salt. Churro waffle itself had a slight cinnamon taste, but I expected more of a sweeter churro taste, so overall was bland. We also ordered something to sip on. Rompope mexi-frap ($5.99 for reg size) and Abuelita mexi-frap $5.99). Again both were so-so taste wise, but appearance wise def top-notch. Service: 4/5 Since Cafe Cultura's food is made fresh to order it takes a bit of time. Despite that, service good. Ambiance: 5/5 I think Cafe Cultura shines here. Super chill breakfast vibe, reminiscent of sitting song Playas de Tijuana at one of the cafe's, sans la playa. There is beer and wine served here so I'm sure the joint amps up during brunch. Parking: 3/5 There is lots of parking around the area, plus a parking structure next door. All paid parking unfortunately since it is downtown and across from the federal building. Family/stroller friendly: 3/5 We sat on the outside patio where there seems to be a bit more space for a stroller. Overall the vibe is great, food looks super appealing! for me, there aren't the Bold Mexican flavors I'm used to, but more on the subtle side. Come try it out. Take care and happy eating!

What a disappointment… The place looks comfortable, and I love the décor and music. However, it was a red flag that we had to wait 40 minutes just to place an order—especially since the cashier was also helping tables. The food looked so good that we decided to give it a try anyway, but unfortunately, it was a total letdown. We ordered the green chilaquiles (the picture on their website looks amazing), but what we got was just soggy tortillas with no flavor—$21 because we added steak. Our second dish was the cajeta French toast, which turned out to be soggy bread that we ended up returning. Sadly, we won’t be coming back. 😔

I'm extremely disappointed to say the least. Iv been trying to get here for 2 years now. You could almost have gotten a tear 😢 out of me in how disappointed I was in the food. Absolutely over rated for food. I did happen to have had the pleasure of drinking one of there Iced chi. It was very well prepared with a little sprinkle of cinnamon on top. I had a al pastor burrito that would have been embarrassing If have would of brought it home to my NANA. My wife ordered a chicken torta. The bread was actually soft. Is the best comment I can leave. So. I decided to double down after the burrito failure. I got in line again and ordered the "famous " chilaquiles. 🫨. I went with green salsa. What could go wrong? Right? 🤢. If that is not can enchilada sauce. Please 🙏 correct me. Well. At least the eggs were cooked well. Pics and video included with this review. I truthfully showed up for something legendary. Left felling sad and hungry. Also out $60

Food was great, but the table situation was a complete joke. We were told our group of five could sit at the bar and move to a table once one opened up. A table did open, and suddenly it was “reserved.” First it was reserved for a meeting, then another employee said it was actually for the manager’s family. Funny enough, that “reserved” group didn’t show up until we were basically finishing our food. We already had our drinks and meals, so the whole thing felt like a polite way of telling paying customers to deal with it. Great food, absolutely trash customer experience.
