Curator’s note
Two young entrepreneurs with very little experience took up a business proposition that came out of left field, and in January 2016 Mi Cafecito opened in the Pomona Arts Colony. They built it around a ritual almost anybody can relate to, un cafecito, and the saying they set out to embody: pero primero, mi cafecito.
The Coffee
Mi Cafecito roasts its own coffee, taking each origin to a roast level of its own, and a La Marzocco pulls the espresso for cortaditos, cappuccinos and lattes beside batch drip and cold brew. The signature list runs through dulce de leche, mocha mexicano, horchata, mazapan and tres leches, and the bar hires a barista-saucier for its sauces and seasonal drinks.

The Vibe
The shop holds a corner of the old brick VFW building, and Mi Cafecito's back wall is painted navy on white, flowers, suns, calaveras and coffee cups set around the shop's emblem. A butcher-block counter runs over white subway tile to the pastry case, a round mirror framed in talavera tile hangs on the side wall, and out front the tables are rounds rimmed in talavera with wooden tops.
