Found this pretty Venezuelan place when I Googled "pistachio coffee." What a breath of fresh air. There's little variety on the east side compared to further west starting at Van Dyke so this place is EXACTLY what's needed. There's a shop inside full of mostly Venezuelan products and I bought the cane sugar cookies and pasta de aji dulce. They have frozen products as well and next time I'm grabbing a box of arepas for home. The menu is big for a smaller place and there were people eating and drinking at a table in the seating area. Unfortunately I was in a rush and ordered my pistachio latte to go, but will return to sit down and order soon.

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.

I would eat here every day if it was closer. We drove here from Ferndale (only about 20 minutes) just to try this place because at local tiktoker did a review and the food looked great. It was absolutely delicious! So full of flavor. You must try an Arepa, cheesey meaty goodness! Lucky for us I learned that their food truck is at Urbanrest in Ferndale on Sundays, so we will be there often!

Stopped in to try this place out and it food I not disappoint! The service was very funny and helpful. I witnessed the woman patiently help and explain things to the group in front of me for a while and never losing her happy smile. The gentleman was also kind and I expressed I loved their green sauce they served on the side with the arepas and he send me home with many extra sides of it! Their sweet treats taste homemade and delicious and their iced coffee drinks are very good and taste like real coffee. I can’t wait to come back and try other items they have to offer!! Hidden gem for sure
