Native Cafe Have been wanting to try this place out. I was in the area and decided to stop by. Renovating at the moment so didn’t get a chance to see inside. Staff are taking orders from the car. I ordered the Hot Spanish Latte. Latte Art was good. Friendly and polite staff.

The service was fantastic and speedy. The coffee was perfect, we got an iced Spanish latte and cappuccino. We also got a delicious blueberry cheesecake. All the food got to our table in less then 5 minutes. The prices were a bit high though. Would recommend to anyone and we will be back.

The Spanish latte at Native Café is a true work of art. The baristas skillfully combine a shot of robust espresso with creamy, perfectly frothed milk, resulting in a velvety-smooth texture and a harmonious balance of flavors. The espresso imparts a bold and robust taste, while the milk lends a delicate sweetness, creating a delightful contrast that lingers on the palate. The baristas, with their friendly smiles and attentive nature, go above and beyond to make you feel welcomed and valued as a customer. Their genuine enthusiasm for their craft shines through in their interactions, creating a sense of familiarity. In conclusion, Native Café not only offers an great Spanish latte but also boasts baristas who excel in providing warm hospitality.

Had a great time visiting Native Cafe, went to try beignets, since I never had them. We got pistachio, Nutella and Biscoff beignets, along with some drinks. Got the their iced rose latte and iced Spanish latte. The beignets were really delicious, light and fluffy, enjoyed them so much. My favourite one was the pistachio flavour one. The lattes were also very good.

Tried the Spanish coffee and beignets - 4 flavours of pistachio, rose, nutella and lotus. Coffee is good but still sweet, even with less sweet. Next time will order again with 20% sweetness, after the previous 2x of less and less-less sweet. These are my dessert, 3x time of doughnuts in a week. SINFULLY GOOD...!! Need more confessions...!!
