Coffee is downright excellent, and at a reasonable price. Didn't have the chance to try the pizzas, though they definitely looked good as well. If you visit the market, don't miss this place!

Was on a market of the tour and tour guide recommended coffee from here. 10/10 wish I had grabbed some of their coffee to take home!

One of the top small roasters in Santiago, and by far the most economical. Order online and get delivery for a small fee...or better yet, take a break from the insanity of La Vega and visit their stand on the north end...the cocadas and canelés are to die for!

When you miss caffeine and need a good cup of coffee/latte in Chile (which is not made from instant powder) Very hard to find this booth, walked through 4 different markets to get here.
