It’s a smaller cafe don’t expect 5 star seating and services. We went in and ordered at the counter and sat down. A server brought out our food and checked on us twice asking if our food was ok. We said yes it was great. If we needed something we just went and asked at the counter like (boxes or extra jalapenos). Anyways, this is an Excellent Mexican brunch. We had the Chile Verde pork dish, which was tender and flavorful and drenched in salsa. Other dish was chilaquiles divorciados with carnitas and fried egg on top. It was also great! Definitely recommend and will be back. It was quick and easy.

I’ve been wanting to try this place for two years and we finally went. I haven’t found a great brunch place since we moved here, but cafe con leche was awesome! We both got chilaquiles and then tres leches pancakes. My one year old got a cheese quesadilla and ate the whole thing. The chilaquiles were delicious. I guess I forgot a picture but we got both red and green sauces and it was so flavorful and a lot of food. One suggestion would be to add another egg on top. As far as the tres leches pancakes. I had a picture in my head of what I wanted it to look like, and the real version exceeded expectations. Absolutely amazing. And the coffee was great too. We will definitely go back cause the menu has several things I’d love to try.

Stopped in for breakfast at Café con Leche and it was such a great experience. The place has a super welcoming, colorful atmosphere with plenty of natural light, and it feels like a perfect little neighborhood café. The food was delicious — the lunch burrito was huge, stuffed, and full of flavor, and the omelet plate looked just as good with a generous portion and fresh toast on the side. The salsa they serve with the dishes adds the right amount of kick. We also ordered lattes, and they were excellent: rich, smooth, and topped with beautiful latte art. Service was quick and friendly, and everything came out hot and well-presented. It’s the kind of spot where you can relax, enjoy good conversation, and take your time. Definitely a place worth coming back to for breakfast or brunch. High

This place is absolutely delicious, the workers are so nice, and the building is adorable. The only issue is the parking is small which sucks because this place is so popular! The food is so good, they have so many tasty treats to try! If you like horchata, you have got to try the horchata latte!

Food is wonderful! Their fresh donuts and horchata latte are a 5 star combo! Location is a bit small for how popular they are but it's very cozy and well decorated!
