Cafe Cito — Restaurant in Santa Ana

Nestled in the heart of Downtown Santa Ana, Cafe Cito has become my cherished haven for exceptional coffee and a welcoming ambiance. Located at 400 W 4th Street Suite B, this cozy café specializes in Mexican-inspired beverages that consistently delight the senses.

Among their unique offerings, my personal favorite is the El Catrin. This exquisite drink masterfully blends rich espresso with traditional Mexican flavors, creating a harmonious and invigorating experience that stands out even among their impressive menu.

The café's operating hours are convenient, open Monday through Friday from 7 AM to 5 PM, and on weekends from 8 AM to 4 PM. On the first Saturday of each month, they extend their hours until 9 PM, making it an ideal spot for evening gatherings.

In addition to their outstanding beverages, Cafe Cito offers a selection of merchandise, allowing patrons to bring a piece of the experience home. Whether you're a local or just passing through Santa Ana, I highly recommend stopping by Cafe Cito for a memorable coffee experience that beautifully blends tradition...

From first view from the outside, it looks like a whole in the wall kind of place, a hidden gem. Once entering, the place is very vibrant and decorated amazingly, absolutely fabulous. The cafe was also very very clean, it was not hot or too cold inside, it makes you feel comfortable and relaxed, you could almost stay all day if you felt like it. The customer service was absolutely amazing, the workers always show the suavecito spirit. They handled the ordering process with care and gave us options to pick from and how sweet or hot we wanted our drinks. The food we ordered was absolutely amazing too. We ordered a chocolate muffin and a cheese jalapeño croissant. For my chocolate lovers, this muffin is it. As for the croissant, the flavors instantly hit the tongue and made you want more. There was music always playing and it added to the relaxing and vibrant ambiance of the cafe. I would definitely recommend to everyone. Suavecito never fails to...

Service as nice and friendly and is a cute, small space. The music playing set such a chill vibe.

Such fantastic coffee! First time me and my wife went there, but these two coffees are a solid start. The cafe au lait (wife had that one) was with dark roast and oat milk. She says it was bold, creamy, and smooth. Couldn't agree more. Mine was the cafe de olla with oat milk. Lightly sweet with just the right amount of cinnamon to it. Highly recommend these two and looking forward to having more coffee from here. Oh. And the brewery is good too. Go check it out!

Update from the above: I tried their pistachio almond latte during my most recent trip and, my god, that was amazing!!!!! I love pistachio and it was the perfect combo of pistachio, sweet and coffee notes. I totally...
