Amazing garden space and great food/coffee. The best part is they customize drinks and food so well. I started drinking decaf and it was hard at times to find it in town. This place makes great decaf lattes that have strong coffee flavor (I also add an extra shot of decaf)! I love the smoked salmon toast, french toast, and BLT. Plus, the owner is constantly making new desserts from scratch with interesting flavors like tahini and rose. Owner is down to earth and friendly, and gives great service.
I felt so fortunate to find this family run gem at the beginning of my 2 month stay in San Cristobal. The best Flat White coffee in town. Consistent healthy meals, peaceful beautiful setting and warm and friendly service. My go to Cafe for a wonderful 2 month stay.
Lovely cafe, homemade cakes and cookies were incredible. Family owned business, they are super nice. Lots of books, colouring books or board games u can use while enjoying yr coffee. Would definitely recommend!
We found this cafe whilst walking around. The owner Layla is an amazing host and made us feel at home. They have a great menu with lots of good vegan options, the vegan hotcakes were incredible and the smoothies were really good too. And the vegan plate with hummus vegetables and home made bread was a real treat. We can’t wait to visit again and relax in the sun in their garden area.
We loved the coffee there, the chocolate brownies were delicious… until we realized we couldn't pay by card (cash only). So we left our IDs behind, trying to find an ATM so we could get some cash. Strangely we didn't find an ATM that contained money, so we had to walk a long way just to find cash. We ended up going to a money changer to exchange our USD. 1. My advice, bring cash if you want to visit this cafe. 2. Or Cafes could perhaps start having card payment options…
The perfect patio to relax , check your internet and enjoy a traditional or not so traditional meal or snack. Wonderful variety of teas and delicious homemade treats! If you are gluten free or vegan this place has it all!
A beautiful relaxed setting is the start of this restaurant experience. We were greeted by the owner of the restaurant who is friendly and fluent in both English and Spanish. The coffee is flavorful and the food options are varied and just as tasty. Highly recommended visit.
Came here twice in one day! Very cute vibes and lovely owner. I had the unlimited coffee (50 pesos!) and then the french toast with maple syrup, fried egg and crispy bacon. SO good!!!! Couldn't recommend more!
