I only stopped in for a cappuccino, but it was excellent ( if you want a dry/traditional cappuccino you'll have to ask for it ). The location is really nice with outdoor tables on a wide sidewalk. It's on a pretty quiet street, at least it was on Sunday, and there's lots of trees around which makes it pretty tranquil.

This little hidden gem was a great find. The service was excellent and the coffee was grand. Nice and smooth! It's located near the National Art Museum, definitely worth a visit!

Quaint little Cafe with a cozy vibe. They have a couple of vegan options for drinks and food, the vegan smoothie and lemonade were fantastic for the Santiago heat! The staff were quite lovely too!

Quaint little cafe right next to the museum. You can sit outside on a nice sunny ☀️ day and bring your puppy too! Coffee is great. They use an interesting blend that's got this fruity acidic burst when you first sip it but disappears in the aftertaste and becomes kind of nutty. Highly recommended!

Fantastic cafe! Our lattes (one hot, one cold) were delicious. Baristas were super friendly. The mixed berry cheesecake was incredible - delicious with a wonderful mixture of tart and sweet berries baked inside. They had several other wonderful looking cakes, too. Cute outdoor seating area with several tables.
