“ The best cup of coffee I had in Colombia!! I felt like I had never tasted real artesanal coffee before, such incredible and new flavors (I had their Geishi variety). They have different varieties and all possible preparation methods. The food was also AMAZING. We had the fruit pancakes and a vegetarian version of the croissant with eggs Benedict. Both absolutely delicious and very high quality. Thank you!! ”
“ I thought it was a bigger place yet that didn't affect my experience at all. The menu is huge and the service is warm and very interactive. The food was amazing, that chocolate con queso was something on my bucket list and I'm glad I checked it in there. ”
“ Very good breakfast, big portion for the price. Matcha latte is also very tasty. I would come back. ”
“ Excellent service and the poached egg croissant and eggs Benedict with avocado and mushrooms were so good! Nice coffee too! ”
“ I love this place! So it all started when we were looking for a healthy food option after our work out for breakfast and my wife found this cafe. I don’t even know where to start. All the food is great and they have many healthy options. On top of this everything I have ordered seems to be made with fresh ingredients. Sometimes with healthy food you loose some of the taste but not here. Great fast and portions. I have tried probably 80% their breakfast menu and everything has been great. Of course with a cafe it’s also about the coffee. I would hope they had good coffee being in Colombia and yes they do! Also I tried the matcha and they got it spot on for what i expected and it had no sugar which was important to me! Since when I first wrote this review I have tired a few lunch items. Just like their breakfast items their lunch did not disappoint. Fresh tasty and well worth the price in my opinion. My favor so far is the chicken sandwich. It is a small place so if they are busy might be hard to get a table, but they will always try to fit you in if they can. Also it is on the pricer side for bogota, but the price is well worth it. I come here once a week and will continue to do so because it’s worth it. Great experience and highly recommend!! ”
