I love their chicken tinga empanadas, Mexican hot chocolate frap chino, and horchata frapé.

No fui nunca. Pero muchos comentarios me alejaron de aquí 🙁 ojala puedan mejorar y ser una gran empresa. Soy amante de los desayunos!

A nice experience! The environment is lovely, lots of open space. Their coffee is great and pastries are delicious! Just keep in mind that they don’t have wifi before going, so if you’re planning on working there you’ll need to use your phone hotspot, etc.

Updated review from 9/15/2024:
Barrio has made a lot of changes recently and is now called Venus. They seem to no longer have any of their breakfast sandwiches or bagels, and at least in the morning seem to be focusing on pastries and empanadas. We got 4 empanadas that were given to us in a to-go box and 3/4 of them were a little light on the fillings ($5 each), but it was nice they had a variety of flavors. My husband and I have been coming here regularly for 2 years and we are a little bummed about the changes to interior, getting rid of breakfast sandwiches/bagels, and the gradual removal of all the puzzles and games. It feels a lot less cozy now. They do still have their regular coffees and drinks which is very nice. I get the impression that they are in a very transitional period and may be focusing more on their lunch/dinner menu from now on so things will definitely be different. And they are still featuring local art which I love. Overall I’ve been a little sad to see some of my favorite things go, but I know they’re changing to try and make more money and I’m hopeful things go well for them! And I’m sure many of their new changes will appeal to a lot of people.

Review from April 2024:
I come here a lot. Some things are hit or miss but we have some favorites we always order and are rarely disappointed. They have lots of fun seasonal drinks that are worth a try, and their pumpkin drinks are especially good since they use real pumpkin. My husband and I usually get bagels with one of their several delicious cream cheeses and a lavender latte and we are very happy.

Breakfast sando (bacon) was amazing.
Spicy Honey hot tea was 🔥🔥🔥 (not in terms of spice but in terms of taste).
Service was very professional and customer oriented - in spite of being very busy, staff made time to check in and provide sincere human engagement with patrons.
Highly recommend.

It is now Venus. I had the breakfast chorizo empanada. The empanada was absolutely delicious. Oh, man, it was so good, I wanted to go back to get another one after I left. I will definitely be visiting again.

Love this cafe!! It is amazing and always worth the drive. Family owned, everything is made fresh and absolutely amazing quality!! My favorite drink is the black rose latte. Can’t go wrong hot or iced. And you have to try the barrio breakfast sandwich, made to order. They always showcase local bands and artwork as well.

I got the Vietnamese nitro and it is fantastic- I’m not someone who likes sugary sweet coffee and this is the perfect mix of strong nitro with some condensed milk at the bottom giving it a little sweet while still having good coffee flavor. My boyfriend got their grinch matcha and it’s not super sweet with great matcha flavor.

The scones are HUGE and amazing, the chocolate hazelnut croissant was light, fluffy, and tasty.

The place is cute and cozy and the service is amazing, they checked to make sure I liked my coffee since I was unsure if it would be too sweet, overall a great place for coffee and some good food.
