Dulce Vida Cafe sits at 8038 S Yale Ave in south Tulsa. It is a small, tastefully decorated coffeehouse with Mexican inspiration. We are welcomed by a peaceful room and a board of specialties, with house horchata lattes, bright matcha, and an orange scone by the register.

It’s a common pick for remote work, and we settle into corner tables for a cozy stint on the laptop. Parking is simple in the lot out front. We are tempted by rotating latte flights, and favorites include peach chai, mango matcha, iced horchata macchiato, and magic berry matcha. Loteria often gets played.
