Mulata Kitchen + Coffee

“Great food, great coffee, awesome customer service”

I’ve heard great things about this place and came here for the empanadas and matcha! Matcha was so lovely, not too sweet and the strawberry foam was the best part. 🍓🍵 I got the guava & cheese and the chicken empanada, I liked the guava one a bit more and wasn’t sure if there’s a bean and cheese one but would love this. Reminded me of my time in Costa Rica. 🇨🇷

Chicken empanadas were stuffed and baked. Great flavor, reminiscent of the kinds I would eat in cafes back in Miami. The espresso is wonderful!

Cortado Jones★★★★

“Cortadito with half and half for here” Cortado on the menu? Yes, they call it a cortadito Correct size/ratio? Yes Temp(start/finish): Great Foam: Lots of delicious foam Flavor: Good flavor Cup: Great little ceramic mug with a handle Extras: None I was very pleasantly surprised by this cortadito! Better flavor and a little piece of a pastry or a spoon would make this a 5. Their food is delicious too.

Mulata is such a warm and colorful spot in Oak Park. The atmosphere feels welcoming right away, and the menu has a great mix of Brazilian coffee, empanadas, sandwiches, salads, and pastries. I loved that everything felt fresh and thoughtfully made, with plenty of lighter lunch options too. The staff was friendly, the space had a relaxed local feel, and it was a perfect place to sit down, enjoy good food, and spend time with friends. Definitely a place I’d come back to.
