Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

Very cute little spot however the food I ordered was underwhelming. The fish tacos tasted excessively fishy which made me think that the fish was not very fresh and we couldn't finish them although the slaw on them was tasty. The rice was extremely salty but had it not been oversalted would have been tasty. The tostones were good and the mini empanadas we're pretty good too but that is not enough to make us return. They had lots of fancy coffee drinks and it's probably a great place to meet for coffee and maybe a dessert. I did look around at what others had ordered and it seems that the bowls were a popular item. They did look pretty good. I think if or where to go again I would probably order a bowl as they also seemed much more affordable. All in all I think it's a fantastic little spot for coffee. I really like the vibe of the goth-esque girl who took our order. She was really upbeat and happy to offer suggestions. I wouldn't likely order the food again unless I was starving and really wanted a bowl.

Best impromptu breakfast decision we could make (for our hearts, not our wallets)! The menu is huge, with endless options for all meals of the day. The food was fresh and felt homemade, with incredible and rich flavors. The yuca is prepared PERFECTLY. I’m usually disappointed when I order yuca fries bc they end up just tasting processed but these were legit. Their coffee options are the same as the food menu: lots of options for high quality and delicious drinks. My only complaint is that breakfast for 2 (1 meal and 1 drink each) ended up costing $55 with tip.

We are in town from Indiana and 3 out of 4 places we went for breakfast were closed, one had a line out the door so we stopped here.. I think that was the best decision we have made!! The food was amazing. The staff was so helpful! And the atmosphere is perfect!! Thank you for a wonderful experience!!!
