Picaresca Barra De Cafe

Leo Tellez

The coffee is always on point, single origin for Latin American coffee regions. I’ve purchased their beans and recently had the food they serve. Mainly breakfast food burritos y chilaquiles.

Picaresca Barra de Café had been on my list for a while, so I was excited to finally check it out! As a coffee lover, I was eager to try their drinks. The café sits on a busy corner with limited parking, but I found a spot on a side street. Inside, the space is creative and radiates a strong Chicanx vibe, which adds to its charm. I ordered the Café de Olla Latte—it had a unique oatmeal-like taste, which was interesting. Overall, it was a great quick stop for coffee. Would I drive 20 miles just for it? Probably not. But if I'm in the area, I'd definitely stop by again!

Great local coffee shop and coffee roaster. Second time visiting, tried their breakfast burrito and had their cafe de olla again. Line moves quickly, limited parking.

This is a little and very popular spot, so be prepared to not get a place to sit. But oh my god is it worth it. We shared a plate of the chilaqiiles enfrijoladas, oh my lord. Just the right amount of spice, the flavor was incredible, be ready to get a little messy. For lactose peeps, I promise you get it without the cotija and sour cream and it's just as good. We also got the Pino latte and Mexican Mocha, both of which slapped. For vegans they have oat and almond milk too. Cannot wait to come back. Oh and they have this big cookie things? They're soft on the inside, we got the Ube one which was delicious.

I’ve been a fan of Picaresca since 2023, back when they were still on Soto — and ever since, I’ve been completely obsessed. While I definitely have my go-to favorites, I find myself constantly tempted to try new items off their menu (and they never miss). My first love was their Café de Olla Latte — a perfect blend of sweet, subtle citrus and bold, comforting flavors that instantly take you back to your Abuelita’s house. “¿Quieres un cafecito con pan?” One cup will have you wired for hours, in the best way. Then came the Evergreen Matcha Latte… and when I say it had a chokehold on me, I mean it. I needed one at least once a week. On chilly “sweater weather” days, I was stopping by twice for a hot Evergreen latte. Now that the sun’s out? I’m fully on the iced version. Just as addictive. For a filling breakfast, you can’t go wrong with the machaca burrito, the classic breakfast burrito, or the chilaquiles — hearty, flavorful, and made with love. Pro tip: swing by on weekdays if you can. Weekends get busy.
