Although I’m not a coffee enthusiast, I can’t deny the allure of their coffee. There’s something about the way they craft each cup that I find irresistible. But while I’m a fan of their coffee, I must admit that their empanadas aren’t my cup of tea. The crust is a bit too thick, but the fillings are delicious.
Now parking can be a challenge but somehow I always find a good spot although it might take some patience.
EDIT: Went back and grabbed some pictures to add to my review!
Our favorites are breakfast, beef, ham & cheese, spinach, chorizo, and all of them. Coffee is so good. I always get a latte and it hits every time.
I had seen this cafe a few times before, but had never been in before. But I was looking for something quick and filling, as well as an early afternoon caffeine fix.
The seating area is relatively small, with maybe seating for 20. There was also a small corner with leather couches and a piano.
I placed an order for 4 empanadas (beef, chicken, mushroom, and spinach), and a latte + cappuccino.
The empanadas were preheated, sitting in a warmer box near the counter. Since we came closer to the end of their operating hours (they close at 2:30pm), there were a few types of empanadas that were either sold out or would need to be baked, which would result in a 15-20 minute wait on those. I opted to get some of the available ones instead of having to wait.
Soon after I got the empanadas, the barista also finished up our drinks. If you dine in the cafe, the coffee is served to you in ceramic cups with art done using the steamed milk.
The empanadas were flaky and rich in flavor, and they definitely don’t skimp on the filling. Each empanada also had a clever design, where a letter or two was worked into the dough of the empanada, to show what the filling inside was (IE – a “B” on their beef empanadas). Their coffee was also well brewed, and well balanced.
All in all, this was a gem of a find, and I will definitely return whenever possible.
Cold brew was decent too, but not too memorable. Overall a cool place, trying a fun concept. The staff was very nice and the interior was clean and welcoming. It is a good stop for a snack if you’re in the neighborhood.
