What customers say?

“ Perfect spot for a quick bite to get you going in the morning. The breakfast tacos on blue corn tortillas were amazing. We tried the Tejano, Del Chef, and the Ranchero. Each one was layered with flavor making each bite better than the last. We washed it all down with a Cafe de Olla and a Churro Latte. Delicious!!! ”

“ Owned by Chef Ramon Velazquez, a native of Guadalajara who began cooking with his grandmother and mother at a very young age, Little Heart Cafecito is the sister eatery of Michelin Bib Gourmand recipient Corazón Cocina. Little more than a stall adjacent the flagship, a few savory items plus several types of Coffee, Little Heart plies its trade in Dulce including the thick Orange Flan and sopping wet Tres Leches also offered at Corazón. Open from 8am until 8pm daily, fresh-baked Breads typically sold out early, dinner guests need not fear as Little Heart’s selection is well-culled and faultless whether one chooses Rice Pudding beneath confit Pineapple, a loaded Cowboy Cookie or additional seasonal Cake slices flavored by Pumpkin Puree or Almond Milk and Cinnamon. ”

“ Best damn Mexican breakfast burrito and chilaquiles I’ve had in SB ”

- Juan Bayardo -

“ The late afternoon called for an iced latte, I found this Cafe on a random search. Pleasantly surprised, I found an entire food court encompassed as part of the space shared by this Cafe. So if not planning to get coffee, their are a number of options of food choices for a guest. I went to the Cafe and saw delicious deserts, but just ordered the iced latte with almond mylk. The drink, within minutes ready, I added a raw sugar packet, which actually seemed unnecessary afterwards. The almond mylk and the naturalness of the espresso on ice had a sweet flavor about it already. I was very happy with my drink for dessert and went about my way, next time planning to try one of the food places in the same building, what a genius concept! ”

“ Great breakfast stop! It seems to be owned by the same folks that run Corazon Cocina. They have breakfast tacos and burritos, good pastries and cakes, and lots of coffee options (shout-out to the churro latte!!). We liked everything we got. Service is fast, and place is not too busy ”
