Café de la Olla House Special at Cocina 35 | A Sip of Mexico in San Diego

At Cocina 35, we believe every great Mexican breakfast starts with a warm, aromatic cup of Café de la Olla — and ours is something truly special.

Brewed daily using a traditional clay pot method, our house special Café de la Olla is infused with the comforting flavors of cinnamon, piloncillo (unrefined cane sugar), and dark-roast Mexican coffee beans, just like the abuelas used to make.

It’s not just a drink. It’s a ritual. A memory. A warm hug in a cup.

The History Behind the Cup

Café de la Olla is a cherished staple of traditional Mexican kitchens, often enjoyed at sunrise in the countryside or shared around a family table during desayuno. At Cocina 35, we honor this cultural classic by keeping it as close to the roots as possible — no shortcuts, no syrups, no trends. Just real ingredients and tradition.

Why Our Café de la Olla Is So Loved

Guests return again and again for the comforting aroma and smooth, spiced flavor that pairs perfectly with our house chilaquiles. Served hot and fresh, this cup completes the Cocina 35 experience.

  • Made fresh daily with real cinnamon sticks and piloncillo

  • Served in traditional-style mugs that add to the warmth

  • A perfect companion to chilaquiles, molletes, or huevos rancheros

  • Loved by locals and visitors seeking a taste of authenticity

Whether it’s your first time trying café de la olla or you grew up drinking it at your abuelita’s kitchen table, you’ll feel right at home here.

Come for the Chilaquiles. Stay for the Café.

Cocina 35 has become known for being one of the best Mexican restaurants in San Diego, but it’s our house Café de la Olla that often steals the show. It’s the small things — the details — that make a meal memorable. And this coffee? It’s unforgettable.
