The food is really good and also pretty healthy too so it’s good if you’re wanting something light. I will say you may want to order double what you expect because you’re probably still gonna be hungry, but the taste is there and that’s what I care about

Such a perfect, quaint, authentic restaurant. Owned, and managed by a lovely Columbian woman. GF very well marked. Get the Palmira. You won’t be disappointed!

We tried 1, 2 and 3...all were delicious! Had a little trouble ordering since we have very elementary Spanish and the person working had elementary English language skills, but we were able to work through it (and I'm so glad we did!) Coffee and latte were also both delicious. Will definitely go back again!

Check the hours before you go, they recently updated to be closed Sundays and close at 5 daily. Not sure that's updated here yet.

The food is amazing and even the pastries were gluten free. Decore is cute for a bruch spot and their coffees and frozen drink selection is great too.
