Cafe Santana Roasting Company

I’ve been a client to Café Santana since it’s early inception-when they would only have pop-ups at the Jack London Farmer’s Market. I am a fan of their Lavender Lattes and fresh roasted drip/pour overs, and of course it’s one of my favorite spots to bite in and devour one of “Javi’s famous Empanadas.

First of all, the coffee here is delicious, they roast their own beans and you can literally smell it down the block 😍 There is currently enough seating for around 10 people, and they have good wifi, great for working. It’s a lovely family owned business and the folks who work there are so kind and friendly.

Visit in our friends and they took us here, a popular local spot for those not in a rush. The coffee takes a while to make. You order at the counter and they will call your name when it’s ready. They were nice enough to let our large dogs inside, as long as they didn’t sit in the benches. Several tables and chairs.

What a great local coffee shop!! I met Richard over 10 years ago and remember his ambitions to become a master coffee roaster. Today, after moving back into the neighborhood, I rediscovered this little gem! I got an oat milk latte and the coffee beans taste so good. They have great notes and very floral overtones.
