Excellent coffee and chocolate. Peaceful atmosphere. Good spot to get some work done. Wish they had a decaf espresso.

An underrated cafe serving both coffee and cacao-based drinks, including hot chocolate and cacao espresso or cortado. The modern space offers plenty of seating, and the service is friendly. They also have in-house chocolate nibs available for tasting.

Oro consistently delivers fantastic curated drinks (shout to Dujuan), creatively inspired pastries, and an exquisite atmosphere and great service. I’ve been coming since they first opened and have loved each visit. It’s an atmosphere where you can both work quietly or gather with a friend. The space is gorgeous. I love the inspired menu that changes seasonally. The flavors are superb.

I like the place atmosphere and their coffee—the latte was rich and beautifully crafted. The staff are friendly, though seating can feel tight during busy times. Highly recommend!

Decadent coffees and the chocolate is divine! We got the El Oro mocha and Mocha Aphrodisiac and both were perfect. The El Oro is rich and creamy and the Aphrodisiac has a peppery aftertaste that’s delightful and makes you want more. They have chocolate samples at the front and the chocolate is truly as rich as I’ve ever had. Great space too, we saw lots of people studying in the lively space on a Sunday morning.

Omg I just had the double oat latte special and this is by far the best oat milk latte I ever had. The foam was dense and creamy and the caramel offered the perfect amount of sweetness. Idk the genius that came up with this drink but i hope your pillow never gets too hot. Thank you
