Tried this place for the first time following some good online reviews and couldn't agree more. Hoping for decaf but they happened to have run out this time. I got the iced strawberry matcha latte instead with almond milk. They use real fruit puree that gives just a hint of sweetness which I prefer & enjoyed very much. I also tried the mini sfogliatelle, which was one of the best I've had. The pastry layers were perfectly crunchy & the sweet ricotta cheese filling has the perfect level of sweetness to balance the buttery pastry flakes.
They also have sandwiches for lunch, teas & a good selection of coffee beans from different regions with various flavor notes. Service is very warm but still a tad slow (seems to me that they're still figuring out the right pacing between taking orders & making the drinks). The inside decor & lighting offer a very cozy but airy feel. This place has a great promise to be a charming place to chill, connect & a highly welcome new addition to the neighborhood. I sincerely hope this place thrives. I, for one, am looking forward...
   Read moreMalpa cafe is a breath of fresh air in this area, very approachable vibes with tons of natural light on one side, while moody toward the center of the room. Someone put a fair amount of thought into designing and building this space, and you start to noticed a bunch of cool decorations after you order and have some time to look around.
Looks like a completely family run place, and everyone was very friendly and bright.
The Iced Vanilla Latte & Drip coffee were quality and tasteful, not overly sweet on the latte and the drip was balanced and not watered down.
We ate the Porchetta on baguette which had an amazing pesto and fresh Mozz and also a grilled cheese sandwich that was opinionated in a good way with some bites of pungent cheese and jalapeno.
Canât wait to come back here and bring my laptop or read a book! Got to sit at the big communal table and chat with another customer while I waited for everything to be prepared which was cool. Iâm also excited to browse through their vinyl records and see if they would play them or not...
