I had the worst dirty chai I have ever had in my life here. Seriously, it tasted like grass. Whe I first had a sip I gagged a little bit because it tasted more like bile than it did chai. I could only stomach three sips before I dumped it out.I also had an apple tart and a ham and cheese empanada. While they were both good, they were not enough to wash out the taste of the nasty chai.Service was adequate.All in all, I would not return nor recommend it.

I could not resist coming here after seeing their creative menu! And it was WORTH it. I came here with my boyfriend and we each got two drinks because we were so curious and excited, lol: the Aztec, the Horchata Latte, the Bourbon Coconut Latte and a regular mocha. They were all sooo good - the Horchata Latte being the star of the day.We also each got an empanada: beef and vegetarian, also fantastic. Word of warning though - they are far smaller than I expected. I thought we were going to get something the size of a hand pie but they're about half that big. I'm personally okay with that because they were extremely tasty and I wasn't looking to eat much. $7 for the size would probably be a bit pricey to some people, but I think for something local, and so good, it's fair. Plus the coffee is surprisingly inexpensive for an artisan coffee house so it balances out.You can sit by the river in either a lounge chair, at a picnic bench, or a table with chairs, with the offer of sun cover if you want it. The lovely view of the river with a bit of bird watching is a wonderful way to enjoy a meal!The only thing I really didn't like was that they use those awful paper straws for their drinks in the interest of being environmentally conscious. I appreciate the sentiment, but there are sturdier compostable straws that exist! I don't know why these terrible straws are still around, plaguing cafes everywhere. Everyone hates them. That's hardly something that would keep me from going back though. ☺️ I'll be back soon.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free empanada available for $2 more, plus salads.

The Meyer lemon cupcake was delicious. The alfajores cookies were crisp with excellent dolce de leche filling. Our coffees were delicious. The mocha was not too sweet. The hot collate was intensely chocolatey and also not too sweet.

Amazing location, great ambiance. I wanted to love this place so bad but the empanadas were do disappointing, we got 4 of them: chicken, chorizo, beef, and ham. Only the chicken was properly filled, the rest were practically empty. All 4 were unforgivable dry and stale after being reheated. The green salsa that came with them was oily but tasty. Did not try anything else. The chocolates and coffees look good but we did not try them.

Natalie and Juan Carlos have fashioned a marvellous space for community, food, coffee, and connection right here on our Petaluma River! Stopping by for coffee and empanadas has quickly become one of my favourite rituals before catching the train, which is just a couple minutes away by foot. Their espresso drinks really have a different, richer flavours than any other place I’ve been to, I think by virtue of the effort they put into sourcing ingredients. I hope this sweet spot stays here for many years to come!

A very cool place in downtown.Excellent coffees, and if you want to try some unique coffee blends they have a number of wildly cool option for mixed coffee drinks using things like coconut cream, Yerba mate, horchata, cacao and other to make make watering drink.Combine that with one of their housemate empanadas, or sweet treats and it makes for a great morning to relax down by the river.100% recommend!!
