Spice Café

The motto at this small, independently run café is "coffee, community & cake." It’s known for altering the flavor of traditional cakes by using a variety of spices, and the succulent carrot cake is a firm favorite among customers. In addition, all of their cakes are homemade and use only locally sourced ingredients or fairtrade products. The space itself has a vintage feel, with low hanging ceiling lights and worn, colorful tables—a charming setting to relax in and enjoy a morning brew or afternoon tea. The café also has a communal table where visitors can socialize, and it plays a pivotal role in community development by hosting workshops and language classes every week, organized by owners Isidre Macías and Lee Hendricks. “That Spice Café can bring strangers and neighbors, friends and co-workers together is what makes it so special to us,” they explained.
