Nos gustó mucho el café y los alimentos que pedimos. Nos agrado mucho la sugerencia de la salsa habanera para acompañar lo que consumimos. Se agradece la explicación brindada respecto a la exposición que tienen este mes y por supuesto las obras poco común y original. Muy amable todo el personal.

The owner and food were amazing. We felt right at home and very well attended to. The service was exceptional. It is a great location to sit and enjoy the quiet neighbourhood and art prices from local artists (also for sale if you really like them). It is a must when we visit again.

Este lugar es súper lindo y la atención es buenísima. El café americano lo sirven cargado, como debe ser. Y tienen un panque de coco brutal, es una delicia.
