TLDR
Go here as a coffee shop and you'll have a great time. However, if you order the food prepare to be disappointed.
Variety of seating options, both inside and outside.
First of all, the ONLY reason this gets 3 stars is for the coffee and ambiance. The seating is cozy and comfy, especially outside. Lots of shade provided and various seating styles. For the coffee, I got a double cubano prepared as a latte and it was quite good, as well as a maya mocha latte which was good; so this place as a coffee shop gets a cool 7/10 score. But the tamales. My god the tamales were atrocious. We ordered the pork tamales and what we received was as good as a hate crime. Every tamale was $10 served with a small handful of banana chips. Absolute rip off. On each end of the tamale was a POTATO and the pork was UNSEASONED STEW MEAT, all wrapped in the blandest masa I've ever had. They were wrapped in palm instead of husk and were incredibly greasy, the only redeeming quality was the red sauce's flavor was incredible. But to be honest, after biting into a giant undercooked potato I got mad and opened them all up (as seen in the pictures). So I apologize for no before photo, but I wasn't intending to leave a review. Now, to be fair to them, they do say there are potatoes in the tamales, but the fact that 80% of the tamales was unseasoned potato and unseasoned masa, that is still incredibly misleading and disappointing. It's important to note that it is an absolute ripoff, but technically what is advertised. HEB tamales that you heat up at home are better than what they deliver. DO NOT GO HERE FOR FOOD.
Overall, I think this place is a fairly decent COFFEE SHOP. Stick to the drinks and pastries and you're good. But I would not order any of the food if you're expecting something really authentic and good.
