Dulce Vida Coffee

I have to be totally real here and admit I haven’t stepped into a vegan coffee shop or even tried what is offered until today. I’m so glad I chose Dulce Vida to do so. I’ve been to a few vegan restaurants/bakeries but since I’m not vegan I never really know what to try in all honesty. I frequent Chandler and Gilbert area pretty often so my daughter and I decided to stop by. Right when we pulled up it looked so cute with the windows painted. Once inside I knew for sure this was my vibe with the decor, and local items for purchase. The location is pretty small, but with the lighting and minimalist decor it felt larger. The menu isn’t too vast, but has some great options and with their seasonal menu there was a good amount to choose from. I really like that they make their own creamers and syrups with natural ingredients. I decided to try the iced Dulce De Leche Latte which is coconut cream, coconut milk, and coconut brown sugar off the seasonal menu and my daughter a vanilla latte either almond milk. There is also a small food menu and so I ordered a plain bagel with cream cheese since they were out of everything bagels. Service was good. There was also not one girl working and there was one order ahead of ours but we had our drinks pretty quick. My bagel took quite a while as I think she got sidetracked with another order, but no biggie. I also saw on their website they offer things like yoga play dates as well as other activities. Pretty cool local shop. Lastly and most important of course was my latte was phenomenal. It had the perfect flavor. It wasn’t overly sweetened, the drink itself felt light and I drank it so fast ha ha . My daughter also really loved her vanilla latte. I’m not a fan of almond milk, but I had a few sips of hers and I really enjoyed it as well. My bagel was warmed up with a good amount of cream cheese, but I’d of preferred it a bit more toasted. I’m really glad we stopped in today. It was a great stop.
