Reviews Summary
Single Origin - Salcedo is widely praised for its exceptional coffee, warm and inviting ambiance, and attentive service. While many rave about the coffee quality and the cozy atmosphere perfect for work or relaxation, some reviews mention that certain food items, like the avocado toast, could be improved. Despite occasional culinary critiques, the overall experience is consistently positive.
"As soon as I stepped in, I was warmly greeted by a friendly and attentive waiter who handed me the menu right away. The ambiance was inviting—calm and comfortable with relaxing music that sets the perfect tone for working or unwinding without distractions.
When I called the waiter over to place my order, they responded promptly and efficiently. I asked for a latte and a butter croissant, but since they didn’t have a butter croissant on hand, the staff thoughtfully offered to serve butter with the regular croissant instead. This extra effort was appreciated. They also offered ice water, which was promptly brought out before anything else.
The latte arrived with a perfectly warm temperature and an adorable latte art design that I almost hesitated to drink because it was just so cute. But, of course, I had to try it—and it didn’t disappoint. The coffee was impressively strong, even more so than Ethiopian beans I’ve tried. It had a bold and robust flavor with a caramel-like sweetness, a full, creamy body, and just the right amount of bitterness. There were no tangy notes, which I appreciated.
The service stood out as exceptional. The staff’s attention to detail, responsiveness, and efficiency made the experience even better. It’s incredible to see how much this place has improved over the years—not just in its service but also in its architecture and minimalist aesthetic. I’m thrilled with the changes and hope they continue to maintain this level of quality."

"Love the atmosphere!! Was able to relax and enjoy coffee with my friend after work.
The dark chocolate Tiramisu was perfect ❤️
Matcha drink was good too, love the latte art
I like how they don’t rush their customers, the service was good! Barista Adrianne did great with our Japan Matcha drinks. Taste is perfect!"

"I have matcha here, I like it, it’s a little sweet but that’s okay since it will still get diluted because of the ice. The servers are really nice and very accommodating. I love the atmosphere and the structure of the cafe, they even have second floor."
