Our menu is inspired by traditional Mexican flavors, combined with high-quality ingredients to create a delightful culinary experience. Let's take a closer look at how our breakfast offerings stand out and why they are the perfect choice for starting your day.


The Essence of Cafe Mexicano

Our breakfast menu is deeply rooted in the rich traditions of cafe mexicano. The bold, aromatic flavors of our Mexican coffee beans are the cornerstone of our offerings. Harvested by women farmers who use sustainable practices, our coffee beans are available in both light and dark roasts. Each $20 purchase of our high-quality coffee beans includes a free 8oz cup of coffee, ground to perfection for any coffee machine you use.

The distinctive taste of our Mexican coffee provides the perfect complement to our breakfast dishes, making every meal at El Tiny Cafe a celebration of authentic Mexican flavors. Whether you prefer your coffee light and floral or dark and robust, our cafe mexicano is sure to delight your taste buds.


Chipotle Breakfast Sandwich

One of the highlights of our breakfast menu is the Chipotle Breakfast Sandwich. Priced at $7.50, this sandwich features our homemade chipotle aioli, which adds a smoky and slightly spicy flavor that sets it apart from typical breakfast sandwiches. The combination of tomato, red onion, egg, and cheddar cheese on your choice of a bagel or croissant creates a harmonious blend of flavors and textures.

The chipotle aioli is the star of this sandwich, providing a unique twist that keeps our customers coming back for more. Each bite offers a balance of heat and creaminess, perfectly complemented by the freshness of the vegetables and the richness of the egg and cheese.


Basil Pesto Breakfast Sandwich

For those who crave a burst of freshness in the morning, our Basil Pesto Breakfast Sandwich is an excellent choice. Priced at $7.75, this sandwich features basil pesto, two eggs, cucumbers, pepperoncinis, and Swiss cheese. The vibrant flavors of the basil pesto and the crispness of the cucumbers and pepperoncinis make this sandwich a refreshing and flavorful option.

The Swiss cheese adds a touch of creaminess that balances the boldness of the basil pesto. This sandwich is a perfect example of how traditional Mexican flavors can be combined with other ingredients to create a unique and satisfying breakfast experience.


Morning Sandwich

For those who need a protein-packed start to their day, our Morning Sandwich is the answer. Priced at $5.95, this sandwich offers a choice of turkey or ham, providing the protein you need to power through your morning. The combination of meat, eggs, and veggies makes this sandwich a hearty and satisfying option.

The Morning Sandwich is designed for those who are not satisfied with just eggs and vegetables. The addition of turkey or ham ensures that you get the necessary protein to keep you full and energized throughout the day. This sandwich is a testament to our commitment to providing balanced and nourishing breakfast options.
