“ We were staying nearby and it was a coffeeshop around the corner. Very lovely owners and good coffee, I love such small family owned businesses - highly recommend for the vibe, good coffee and cozy design. ”
“ Soooo happy to find this little gem in the heights. Great price for delicious food. The beef and potato empanadas were perfect, yummy little package of flavor. I had my mid afternoon snack with a cappuccino. I will be coming back soon! They are so sweet and welcoming, thank you ”
“ Don't let the outside appearance fool you. As I came upon it, I was thinking a small local breakfast spot. A few chairs with decent menu. Once I walked in, it went from my thoughts to an open spacious breakfast spot. Plenty of seats and homie in feel. The menu having more than I expected and the price being right. I was hungry, so I got a sausage egg and cheese, home fries and complimenting it with a iced coffee. The food came out as if it was made from hispanic parents. If I'm not mistaken, Columbian and I can taste it. Very good place and I plan to come back again. Do stop by, I was really impressed with the everything overall ”
“ Delicious espresso, perfectly pulled—sweet and nutty. Awesome prices too! 1.50 for espresso (double shot). Beef empanada was fresh, super flaky and crispy. Fillings of mince beef, plump raisins, and hard boiled egg were moist and delicious. Relaxed vibes inside. ”
“ I have been coming here for the past two years and can confirm both Luis and Luz are incredible. They always make delicious homemade empanadas (always a hit when brought to work events, parties, get togethers), arepas, tostones, and the perfect cappuccino. I highly recommend this amazing Colombian Cafe for the DELICOUS FOOD, great vibes, and you can always expect a friendly conversation, a nature documentary on the tv, phone charging station, and great spot to sit outside during the warm weathers. They are very friendly and always helpful and brings a lot of love and warmth to the neighborhood. ”
“ I really enjoyed the ambiance of the cafe. The black coffee and ham bacon croissant were delightful!! Also, the owner was very kind and welcoming. I can see myself coming here every week to drink coffee and breakfast before I start my day! ”
“ Yesterday I enjoyed the perfect meal. Chef Eduardo prepared a pescatarian-friendly meal that was Latin American soul food. Prepared perfectly the fish melted in my mouth and each bite was the perfect blend of flavor, texture, and richness. Excited for what chef prepares for us next! ”
