I first got the strawberry matcha latte and it was underwhelming. The matcha quality was mediocre and you could barely taste the strawberry. I then asked for a sugar free hazelnut caramel latte with one shot espresso and omg by far the worst latte I've had in my life-completely watered down with such strong coffee taste despite asking for one shot and the coffee tasted expired/poor quality and the sugar free syrups taste soo artificial. Definitely one of the worst cafes I've been to for lattes/matcha. To top it off it was $7.50!! Cheap quality and high quantity. Dissapointed.

We ordered a veggie panini and prosciutto & coppa panini. Beautiful day, nice location, sweet staff. Perfect start to a Sunday morning.

Perfect for a beach chill drink. Kicking back in the sand with some iced horchata?!? That's a effin DREAM. They really brought their A game with these beauties. Also opted for that delicious chai latte on ice. Just real deal coffee that actually hits not just overhypes.

Gitana Coffee is a delightful experience from the first sip to the last. The coffee boasts a rich, full-bodied flavor with a smooth finish that leaves you craving more. The beans are expertly roasted, ensuring a perfect balance of acidity and sweetness. The aroma is inviting, with hints of chocolate and caramel that entice the senses. Each cup is a testament to the care and attention to detail put into the roasting process. Whether you're enjoying a morning brew or an afternoon pick-me-up, Gitana Coffee is sure to impress even the most discerning coffee aficionados.

I have been several times now. I live in the area. Best espresso in Hermosa/Manhattan area. Today I got the cortado with a savory Danish. It is a neighborhood establishment. In the neighborhood. It is a small local business where you can chat with the barista. Great spot to stop on a bike ride on the strand. You can see the ocean from some of the seating.

I just recently started coming to this cafe and I love it. Service is always so kind and welcoming. The ambiance is pretty and makes you feel comfortable. So far I have only tried both the hot & Iced dirty horchata, and it's now one of my favorite drinks! The pastries are also so tasty, especially the almond croissant & the ricotta cake. Definitely need to try more on the menu!

I want to love this café so badly however, I've never had a drink there that made me want to return. I've tried it multiple times and every time the drink is underwhelming. The menu is extensive and relatively creative. However, the execution just doesn't seem to be there. It's a small café. The staff is very friendly and kind but I just can't see myself going back as there are better options in the neighborhood.
