Curator’s note
Angel Orozco roasted for farmers markets in Silver Lake and Hollywood for six years before he and coffee professional Mitch Hale opened this corner of Hoover and Bellevue in 2010, the first Cafecito Organico storefront. He learned on a home roaster, then a Southern California-built Primo, and his first coffee memory is the heavily sweetened instant café de leche his family drank in Guatemala.
The Coffee
Pour-over comes from a choice of three single origins, and the printed board adds batch brew, a 24-hour cold brew and the SoCal Flat White, pulled with four shots. The company has bought directly from producers since 2004, most of them in Central America.

The Vibe
For the patio on Hoover Street, Cafecito takes reservations through Tock: a covered, pet-friendly patio out back, which John Sofio and Sormeh Azad of Built Inc. made in 2014 out of a trash area, with walls of Ohio barn lumber, tables cut from a Tijuana gym floor and Los Angeles pier timber, and an outdoor fireplace. The room in front opened in 2010 with a standing counter for a quick espresso, set up like a typical Italian coffee bar.
