We’re always looking for ways to make your experience at El Barrista better, so say hello to our new self-ordering kiosk! 🙌🏾

We know it can get busy and sometimes it takes us a minute to get to you. That’s because we take pride in our food and drinks, and we’re not cutting corners on quality.

Now you can skip the wait, place your order yourself, customize it how you like it, and we’ll handle the rest. Same love. Same quality. Just a smoother way to order. ☕️🖤
