Los Olvidados Coffee Shoppe & Gallery

Ria 6 months ago

So, I have been going to Los Olvidados for the past three years since it's so close by, and each time it offers the same okay experience. The cafe itself has a chill and creative vibe which is nice for college students to come by and study/take instagram pictures. The owner himself is very nice; however, some of his employees can be quite passive aggressive. I do like their agua fresca options, and I usually order sandwiches from here, but the prices are high for what they offer. They also sell thrifted clothes and books, which are priced fairly. The books are definitely more affordable compared to their clothes, but are usually in used condition. Quick heads up: they won’t charge you tax if you pay in cash. They also support local artists by hosting small mercados in their café on Sundays (announced on their Instagram), which I highly recommend checking out if you want to support local vendors.

Los Olvidados is a cool café with a Santa Fe vibe and a carefully, curated collection for the five senses. At every turn, each corner was thoughtfully composed. The menu has enough variation to keep you interested but not too much to thrust you into executive dysfunction. Given the heat during our visit, we ordered from the aguas frescas section: El Quetzal y Pura Pasión. They were fresh and pulpy. You could see the natural separation of the fiber and juice. Perfectly refreshing. As you wait, you can browse their music selection, vintage T-shirts or just take in the music playing overhead. The tables are separated into sections creating intimacy despite the large openness of the building. As an introvert who dislikes congregate seating, that’s always a plus. Judging by the many stickers under the counter, it seems this place has many visitors and is well-loved. I hope it stays that way for many years to come.

Vibes are sooo good! Bit difficult parking since it’s downtown but SO WORTH IT! We enjoy the evening exhibitions, that promote local art & music

A unique coffee spot nestled inside a local beer garden. Do yourself a favor and stop on by to try some specialty coffee drinks like the Cubanito and the Celia Cruz. While there are tables, you can also grab a seat at the bar or on one of the couches. They also offer books and board games to play with friends while you enjoy the afternoon.
