This Little Village Internet cafe/coffee house features a roster of coffee beverages and pastries, plus a Euro-Med menu with choices like panini, pasta, salads and all-day breakfast. Catedral, which takes it's name from the coffee house near the Morelia Cathedral in owner Abraham Duenas' hometown of Morelia, Mexico, features a cathedral-themed interior chock-full of religious artifacts and artwork, including reproductions of Michelangelo's Vatican frescos on the ceiling. Movie fans will recognize the chalet-esque exterior (and vaguely the interior) from the 2006 film Stranger than Fiction; stars Will Ferrell and Maggie Gyllenhaal filmed scenes here in the summer of 2005. BYO laptop and take advantage of the free wi-fi (with purchase), or log on to one of the cafe's computer stations (fees based on usage).

"A haven in Little Village"
By Hola,Hello from Hispanic, November 3, 2008
This place was cozy, relaxing, and so cute. I went there for an art show they had in the back hall and was hungry so I stepped into the coffee shop...
