Cara Vana Coffee Shop

Cute coffee shop in NoHo : ) with the best horchata latte around. I’ve tried so many in SoCal and this one has the perfect ratio of sweet, it also doesn’t taste watery ! The avocado toast is the beesssssssst and is on a long piece of sourdough bread. The chicken sandwich is also crazy good !! I’ve also had their vanilla latte, I think they make the vanilla in house. Their cold brew is really good too ! They have indoor seating and patio seating.

First time here - tried the Green Burrito, Breakfast plate, and Horchata Latte… great food and enjoyed really enjoyed the latte. They carry Cake Monkey pastries (love them). Service was very friendly and timely. Lighting is great for working. Added bacon to the green burrito - the fresh ingredients and creamy cilantro sauce were a perfect combo. It even came with a cute little side of watermelon. Breakfast plate was straight forward, soft eggs, potatoes, bacon, side of avocado. 2 tables inside and 3 high rises… Sat outside on the patio. Nice coverings from the sun and a beautiful mural of Frida Kahlo to stare at while you eat and sip.

We decided to try a new coffee place before making our way to San Jose. Once in we looked at the menu and I decided on the tamarindo cold brew. I was hesitant but the lady at the counter let me have a taste. It's bitter and some tart. It's definitely not for everyone. We also got horchata latte, overnight oats and breakfast burrito. The burrito was delish. Also the inside is amazing. The back has an area to sit and eat and is dog friendly. Definitely will come back. Also be aware parking can be hard in the area.

We’ve been looking for a new close by coffee shop and Cara Vana showed up on Google. We desperately need more cute places like this in the area and I’m so glad it’s here. Our cold brew and iced latte were good. We also got the breakfast burrito which was really good for a smaller coffee shop, they didn’t skimp or just throw it together like other places. I do wish there was a verde salsa option but it was still very good! It’s cute and clean and everyone was very nice, excited to come back!

I come often when I want a pick me up on the weekends. I love this place. The meals are amazing and the drinks feel like true coffee. Even the specialty drinks are great since they have tons of flavor without feeling too sweet.

Solid coffee. Cozy Atmosphere. Great service. You walk in and immediately feel like you should be wearing a beanie and talking about your screenplay… in a good way. I didn’t try the food, but I’m particular about coffee beans. Like, the kind of person who judges a café’s entire moral character based on their Americano. Because if that sucks, everything else is just espresso cosplay. Thankfully, this place gets it right. Smooth, balanced, not bitter. It slaps. My friend always orders the fruity, oat-milk, lavender-foam, whatever-drink. And that’s fine. But I’m out here conducting serious bean analysis, not sipping a mood board. Oh and the staff are genuinely happy you exist, which is rare these days.

3.5⭐ Nicer cafe in an area needing one Espresso was good, not amazing but definitely good! Relaxing and quiet. Love the open air feel, big windows in front, big wooden community table Cozy couch in back with privacy. Nice menu but we didn’t eat. Super nice staff! Only con was the music wasn’t my thing..all medium-mellow rap. I can do some. Still, give them a go! They do a nice job in a desert of nice. This block might be flipping a bit because a ghost kitchen is on the same block - love that concept.
