Just stumbled upon a hidden gem in the OC that's more than just a coffee shop – it's a flavor-packed journey to Oaxaca's vibes!
When you walk in, it’s like you’re being transported to a cafe in Oaxcaca, Mexico. It’s warm and cozy. Love the decor and ambiance!! It’s a great place for breakfast, lunch or coffee break. It’s also perfect for getting some work done or studying. They are perfectly set up for that! This cafe is a change from the chain coffee shops! You’re in for a treat!! They’ve been open since April and I’m already a fan!!
Each dish is handcrafted with the best quality ingredients. No artificial colors. Made in house. Everything is made to order and taste really fresh. The dishes have that WOW factor so you definitely eat with your eyes first! Vibrant colors and beautiful!! They definitely taste as good as they look!! So delicious!! You’ll want to try EVERYTHING! You’ll thank me later lol
Oh, and did I mention they get their bread straight from a local bakeries? Talk about dedication to perfection! Their fresh Pan Dulce is also from a local bakery, adding that extra layer of community love.
Prepare to be wowed by their vibrant, handcrafted dishes that are as much a treat for your eyes as they are for your taste buds! The Salmon Toast and Avocado Toast? Crunchy, satisfying, and oh-so-delicious – they're an Instagram-worthy delight that tastes even better than they look.
But wait, there's more – have you ever experienced the sheer joy of their Pistachio Butter, Fruit + Honey Toast? It's a symphony of crunchy, creamy, and sweet goodness that's simply irresistible.
Oh, and let's not forget about their Molletes cheesy indulgence or the uniquely savory and crunchy Tlayuda Oaxaqueña – both dishes that'll have you craving for more. Their Bean & Cheese Burrito is NOT your normal Bean & Cheese Burrito. It’s a definite MUST-TRY!
And if you think you can resist the addictive Chia Pudding, think again – it's a spoonful of pure delight! Layers of Mango purée and topped with diced mango. (MUST-TRY) In a glass jar, which I love! You can reuse glass jar after eating.
And coffee lovers, rejoice! These folks take their brews seriously, crafting a symphony of flavors that'll have you sipping your way to caffeinated bliss. It's the kind of experience that'll keep you coming back for cup after cup.

Read moreI found this place through the "coffee" signs on La Palma Ave and Kellogg Dr. and decided to check it out. I ordered an Iced Vanilla Latte with oat milk, but I wasn't asked about the size, so I assumed they only offered one. I received what appeared to be a 12oz drink, which cost around $6.73. Unfortunately, I was disappointed by the small size and the overly sweet taste. It was more like sweetened water than coffee. Given the high price and sugary flavor, I’m not inclined to return. It seems like this spot is more about the food than the coffee.
Edit: I’d like to clarify my experience at Cafe Biaani’. When I entered, I found it difficult to locate the menu, which was displayed on three standard sheets of paper in black and white. The dim lighting made it hard to read, so I asked the cashier for assistance. After asking if you offered lattes, I requested a hazelnut iced latte, only to be informed that you only had vanilla. Unfortunately, the cashier didn’t mention any of your specialty drinks or the fact that you make your own vanilla syrup with agave, which might have influenced my choice. If I had known that, I would have asked for less sweetener, given agave's natural sweetness.
You mentioned that your prices include any type of milk without extra charge, as if it’s a special offer. However, I noticed that your 12 oz espresso drinks, priced between $6.25-$6.50, are smaller and more expensive than your 20 oz specialty iced coffees, which are $6.15. Other local coffee shops charge around $6.50 for a 16 oz espresso drink (this is including the extra charge for non-dairy milk). So, while you’re not charging extra for different milks, you’re also not offering a larger size for the same price, which doesn’t feel like much of a deal.
In hindsight, I would have preferred to order the 20 oz specialty iced coffee and paid less ($6.15) than the 12 oz latte ($6.25). Better customer service might have helped me make...
Read moreIt was my first time here at this establishment and it did not disappoint. Not only was the food amazing but customer service was on point. The cashier was so nice and even made some great suggestions I couldn't decide on just one so I got both the Chilaquiles Cremosos which she recommended and I also tried the Mollete with Soy Chorizo. The chilaquiles is a small portion but very rich in flavor the chips where crispy and the chipotle sauce was definitely very creamy and delicious. The chilaquiles also came with Chicken which was very tender and not overcooked. The cook brought out a salsa for me to try I believe it was called "salsa matcha" it was like a chili oil salsa I believe. Very spicy but not too overpowering where you can't still enjoy your food. The presentation of the food also makes it very appetizing like they take pride on what they are serving. The ambiance was great it gave off library cafe vibes for some reason very cute in the decor. There prices are a little higher than what i expected for the portion that they give though the only reason why I'm giving 4 out of 5. I wish I took a picture of the side of sour cream but i ordered 2 sides of sour cream and it was about $1.25 and it's literally less than a quarter size for the prize. As you can also tell on the mollete not a lot of soy chorizo on the toast. Regardless it was very delicious very rich in flavor with the beans, cheese and tomato. I enjoyed every bite. I would definitely come back hear again even though the portion size is small compared to what the price is. It's the quality of taste and how it was made that is realing me...
