Equal parts coffee shop, events venue, workplace and utterly gorgeous space, MAZ Café Con Leche is a unique vibe and treat to experience on North Lacy Street.
There are a multitude of ways to enjoy MAZ, so here are our faves:
Get jitter juice
If you need a morning jolt (or really any time of day — we’re not judging), MAZ offers a wide array of creative Latino-fusion beverages, perfect for any coffee connoisseur or caffeine enthusiast. Most famous are the lattes, and they’ve earned it. It’s hard to go wrong with flavors like horchata, chocolate Abuelita, coconut dulce de leche.
Customers frequently rave about the signature MAZ Latte, enriched with the distinctive peanut taste of the iconic Mexican mazapan candy.
The Chocolate Abuelita Latte stands out, boasting Mexico's renowned Abuelita chocolate, with hints of cinnamon, evoking memories of grandma's ranchito.

Get brunch
Or lunch. Or early dinner. Whatever you’re craving, MAZ serves a nice variety of tasty noms all day. Their breakfast croissant/ bagel sandwiches are always a perfect breakfast choice, which comes with ham, cheese, egg, spinach, onion and their housemate sauce. Yum! Their avocado toast is also a breakfast favorite.
For lunch you can’t go wrong with their baked mac & cheese. Save room for pastries and rotating desserts, like mazapan cheesecake. Drool.
