Cafecito Álvarez

Cafecito Álvarez Detroit is a mobile coffee bar based in Southwest Detroit, bringing the warmth of traditional Mexican coffee flavors to modern street-café pop-ups. Since launching in August 2022, the brand has blended family roots and modern creativity to craft signature drinks featuring ingredients like piloncillo, mazapán, and cajeta. Their beverage lineup includes drip coffee, cold brew, seasonal lattes, and coffee cocktails — many of which can be vegan or customized for events. As a pop-up / roaming operation, they connect with Detroit neighborhoods, pop-up markets, and events, making every cup part of a community experience.

☕ Beverages & Flavors: Drip, cold brew, seasonal lattes infused with traditional Mexican ingredients (e.g. mazapán, piloncillo, horchata)
📋 Menu / Customization: Seasonal drink lineup, event drink customization (vegan, kid-friendly)
🅿️ Parking & Location: Mobile / pop-up model — locations change. Southwest Detroit roots.
📍 Outdoor / Pop-Up Model: Operates in outdoor settings, markets, and events (open to foot traffic).
⏰ Hours may vary based on event schedule and location.

Insider Tip: Follow their Instagram for upcoming pop-up schedules — they don’t have a fixed storefront. Try seasonal signature drinks like mazapán latte, cafecito de horchata, or café de olla cold brew. Weekdays at local markets often offer quieter, more relaxed settings.
