Cafecito Organico is a hidden gem located in one of my favorite alterna-malls, The Lab Antimall, in Costa Mesa.

Working with small sustainable coffee producers from Central America, the founders of Cafecito Organico began roasting in a garage in LA. Today they have five cafeterias between Los Angeles and Orange County where they serve their independent artisan coffee as well as delicious fresh pastries.

The decoration of their Costa Mesa store is simple yet detailed with lots of wood. One of my favorite things is the light stringer hanging above the counter.

When I go I like to have their latte with 2% milk. Very hot.
