Judge a place like this on freshness, consistency and recent reviews rather than decor. Menus and prices change, so check the current menu before going.

On weekday lunchtimes many restaurants serve a menú del día or menú ejecutivo (set lunch), which comes out fast and fills up between 13:00 and 14:30; book by phone or WhatsApp for Friday and Saturday dinner, and note that the bill shows a suggested 10% tip, which is voluntary.

The business lists hours for all seven days of the week. Typical hours are 8:00–22:00. Also bear in mind that 1 January, 1 May, 18 and 19 September and 25 December are mandatory retail holidays, when most shops close.

Eggs with toasts were delicious 😋

Grato ambiente, super tranquilo. En un momento se cortó la luz. El sándwich de mechada carecia de sabor, las papas fritas estaban casi crudas y el chocolate caliente no estaba caliente (?

Fuimos a probar cosas saladas, la carta contaba con buena variedad de productos y todo se veía fresco, probamos un chai latte, una michelada, un pisco sour, y un té helado, este último estaba desabrido, daba la sensación de estar tomando agua con azúcar, a pesar de ser recomendación del Garzón, es lo único que no nos gustó del pedido

Pero queeee buen café! Y que buena atención. Fue un total gusto haber estado ahí. Se valora mucho cuando los garzones se preocupan de hacerte sentir bien. Los 2 chicos del turno de tarde de un domingo 🙌🏻 café rico y pastelería 🫶🏻
