Arepateca

This past Saturday, my wife and I discovered this gem, a charming Venezuelan café near Twinbrook Metro. After a few rainy days, the sunshine called us out, and we were so glad we went. The vibe is relaxed, perfect for a casual coffee or a laptop session, but the food is where it truly shines. We dove into arepas just like home, comforting and delicious. The staff were incredibly welcoming, effortlessly switching between Spanish and English. The owner personally greeted us and showed a genuine passion for authenticity, even explaining why they don’t yet serve cachapas she’s waiting until she can source the perfect traditional ingredients. The portions were generous, the prices fair, and the atmosphere just right. We’ll definitely be back, and I’ve already recommended it to all my Venezuelan friends. If you’re curious about Venezuelan comfort food, this is a perfect spot! Sam and Mari 🇻🇪 ❤️ 🫓

Stopped by for a late lunch with my mother and was met with such a warm greeting. I ordered the Domino o mine arepa with plantains, black beans, and queso de mano. My mother, an hervido de res (bee soup) with an order of tequeños. Let me just start by saying that everything is made in house and you could tell the food was made with love. It reminded me of a family recipe that they had the pleasure of sharing with us. My arepa and my mother’s soup were especially bold in flavor and were so filling. The tequeños were amazing and the cheese allowed for a great cheese pull. But… the showstopper for me was their tres leches. The flavor is so rich!!!! The portions themselves are also worth noting, I definitely had enough for the next day!!! I highly suggest stopping by and would definitely come back. Thank you so much!!!

I stopped by looking for a quick coffee shop. Right after I ordered my chai tea latte, my phone died! One of the owners who was taking my order, quickly sprang into action. She provided me a Samsung compatible charger (which a lot of places don't have or simply don't want to help with). I was incredibly relieved, because I'm not from this area! She made me feel super comfortable. While waiting I ordered the brisket arepa, super delicious, fresh, and generous with the meat. All staff was friendly , and very accommodating. I'll be giving them my business when I'm around 💜💜💜💜
