About Cafecito Organico Silver Lake
Cafecito Organico Silver Lake is a coffee shop and espresso bar in Los Angeles, on N Hoover St, and an outpost of a small chain that makes its coffee with organic, fair-trade beans. Indoors is closed to the public, so orders go through a window and guests settle on a plant-filled patio with tables and shade. The drinks list includes lattes, Americanos and chai latte. A 19-item food menu runs from the Breakfast Burrito and Chilaquiles to the Birria Taco. The shop is open daily, and dogs are welcome on the patio.

Customer Review Summary
The plant-filled outdoor patio is what reviewers return to most, described as tranquil, shaded and comfortable for working, with a water station, outlets and the "Hoover Wilderness" corner singled out. Coffee draws steady but unspectacular praise: a perfect half decaf latte, a hot latte, and variety from different countries, though one reviewer calls it no-fuss coffee with no signature drinks. Food gets mixed notes, with a turkey sandwich on croissant bread and a tasty but salty ham quiche mentioned, while another says the espresso and food have disappointed lately. The recurring complaint is one long-haired barista. Three reviewers describe him as dismissive or rude, including one who says he asked "What are you broke?" when asked about drinks under a set price, then told them to buy something to sit on the patio. Another left without ordering after getting no greeting. Reviewers say the rest of the staff is friendly and quick, and one mentions an inconsistent chai latte.

“Awesome staff, never rude - tall long haired barista seems very strong. Yet his real strength is his strength of character. Something one cannot measure. Something one cannot quantify. Much like the changing of summer to autumn, one’s morality is appraised by an amalgamation of singular events - leaves changing from green to brown, stone fruit falling from the apricot tree, wrinkled from the blistering sun. One’s character is not defined by a cup of half and half, but by their stewardship in the community. And if there’s one thing I value about my community, it’s community. And if there’s one thing I love about my community - it’s its strength. And if there’s one thing I know about strength. It’s that I have it. And if there’s one other thing I know about strength, it’s that the tall barista has it too, probably more, or maybe just in a different way. Much like the loquats on Tulorosa Drive, we all wither and rot eventually. Is that neglect? Or is that just friendship? Some say both. I say, “two large iced Americanos please””

“Decent drinks, nice ambiance. Have had inconsistent results with their Chai latte though. My Last time visiting here was today after I was failed to be given a proper greeting by the white guy with long hair. Took that rude gesture as my sign to avoid purchasing anything and left instead.”

“It's truly baffling when someone in a customer-facing role - like the long, curly-haired guy barista at this coffee shop - decides to project their unhappiness and animosity onto customers who simply want coffee. I was really looking forward to visiting this café, but unfortunately the experience fell short due to the extremely rude attitude of this barista. I asked if there was anything under $5, as there were no prices shown on their chalkboard menu. Their response was, "What are you broke?" I was completely taken aback. It felt wildly rude and unnecessary, especially for such a harmless question. Feeling uncomfortable, I went to sit down on the patio to look up the menu online on my laptop instead. Before I even had the chance to do that - I was just connecting to their wifi first - they came to my table and rudely told me I need to buy something if I want to sit there. A customer can't even catch a break? At that point, I decided to leave and take my business elsewhere. I understand that people have bad days, wake up on the wrong side of the bed, or may be going through things, and I'm trying give the benefit of the doubt. However, there's no excuse for projecting that kind of attitude onto customers, it's just icky and unprofessional. All this, at a coffee shop? After reading other reviews, it's disappointing but not surprising that to see that multiple people have had similarly rude experiences with this barista. I wish them well.”

“Coffee variety is amazing from different countries etc. Food options are good but not amazing. The space is super confortable to work in with confortable seating on an outdoor patio filled with plants and rustic wood. Its beautiful.”
- Cheyenne Ogden
“The long-haired, curly-haired man is EXTREMELY rude. Every interaction feels dismissive, as if customers are inconveniencing him or wasting his time. Today was my third time interacting with him. Such a shame since the rest of the staff is pretty friendly.”
