The Romo Cafe

Irma doesn’t claim to be some state-of-the-art shop on the cutting edge of coffee roasting. And frankly, it doesn’t need to.

Her café de olla is one of the best in town and comes full of aromatic cinnamon and sweet piloncillo (unrefined cane sugar with a molasses-like flavor). Everything gently bubbles together in a pot until the brew becomes a spicy, sweet, and eye-opening concoction that calls for some much-needed breakfast.
