Love Mestiza!
This is a great coffeehouse, serving more than just coffee. Easy to locate, just off Euclid Ave., passing Holt Blvd. Plenty of parking nearby. This place came highly recommended by my mom and sister, so I brought my sister and kids along with me.
The Spanish Latte is highly recommended and is considered most popular by the staff, so I got that iced. They have 2 pastry displays that looked AMAZING! I wish I could have tried every single item. Instead I opted for 2 chocolate chip cookies, the strawberry Nutella pastry, and the jalapeño cream cheese stuffed brioche.
The staff offered the option to have everything warmed up and it really made these treats so good! My kids being with me, there was plenty other drink options for them, like apple juice, milk, water, etc. I got them chocolate milk and a bottled water for my post-coffee drink. Everything came in just under $30, which I felt was a reasonable price for the quantity and quality of everything I got.
The Spanish Latte was very, very delicious. A bit on the sweeter side, but that's how I like my latte. If you prefer a more bold flavor, I would recommend to modify your level of sweetness. If there was any criticism I could make, it would be the boldness of the espresso. That could just be because I'm used to having strong coffee, like Café Bustelo and dark French roast. But my preference does not negate that the coffee here really is good.
My favorite part of this entire visit was the shop itself. It's cute, it's hip. Mestiza IS that girl. The culture of a good cafecito and something sweet (or savory) is an experience by itself. Definitely recommend!
