Café Tondo

Blending a homey cantina aesthetic with a hip European cafe atmosphere, this Chinatown neighborhood spot transitions from morning coffee and pastries like cafe de olla flavored with piloncillo and cinnamon to an evening menu featuring handmade heirloom-corn tortillas, tacos, and sashimi. Alongside Mexican architecture table books for reading, the space hosts regular live music programming ranging from Sunday jazz to Saturday DJ sets and Latin music, complemented by vermouth spritzes.
