She also sells freshly baked Colombian breads pastries. So happy I found this place! Its a gem in the heart of the Italian Market! ”
“ The Iced Bombon was bomb! Good choice if you like sweet, the sweetness from condensed milk. Fair price, around 5. Will try other coffee next time, or maybe the Espresso Martini. ”
“ My friend stopped by this cafe while waiting for an appointment and brought me a Latin Mocha on a whim which is a mix of oat milk, almond, cinnamon, and vanilla. Im a big foodie but theres few things I dont like in this world, yet almond milk is one of them. As they handed me the coffee and I saw how big it was I was already having the internal monologue of how to fake through a sip, or how am I gonna break it to them kindly, and also feeling bad about the waste. I went into the sip thinking I knew myself, and preparing myself to be kind and pretend I like it ...... If only you could see my expression in astonishment as I tasted this.... The flavor was incredible. Its the perfect mix of sweet, creamy, slightly nutty, and all goodness. Those additions complimented the coffee so well. Im excited to have this addition to the neighborhood, and knowing that Im supporting a family owned business. ”
“ Only good vibes! The best coffee direct from the farm. The cleanest energy boost you can get at the city !! ”
