Finalmente estoy canjeando mi café de regalo después de haber visitado este local 6 veces y gastar mi dinero aquí. Si bien el menú es abundante y variado, la cafetería deja mucho que desear. Los baristas no están lo suficientemente capacitados y suelen no saber recomendar cuando se les pregunta. Se nota poco interés real en entregar una buena experiencia al cliente; la simpatía parece forzada y superficial. De todas mis visitas, la única que preparó un café realmente bueno y supo recomendar fue una de las chicas. Los baristas varones mostraron cero interés en el oficio. El primer café que probé (hecho por ella) fue excelente y me motivó a volver. Lamentablemente, el resto de las atenciones y cafés no estuvieron a la altura. Ya canjeé mi recompensa y no planeo regresar. Saludos.

Buscando un lugar para comer luego de un examen en ayunas, encontre esta acogedora cafeteria llamada "Emma's cafeteria". Me servi un delicioso capuccino con leche sin lactosa, opcion dificil encontrar en cafeterias. El sandwich con pan ciabatta delicioso!!. El lugar es pequeño, pero muy acogedor con sillas o sillon con mesas pequeñas o una barra con plantitas que hace la estadia sea grata.
