Unassuming place but the food was of good quality and freshly made. We stopped here for breakfast on our to San Pedro de Atacama. Very friendly staff and great service. The French toast especially was very tasty!

The staff here are incredibly kind, I had 9 hour wait for my next bus leaving the town, and they let me sit and work on my project for 6 hours of that!! María (con pelo rojo) was so unbelievably kind, sweet, calm and collected. She made sure I was comfortable the whole time, and offered me WiFi, to heat up my hot chocolate when I let work distract me. They even held my bags for me in a private room! I cannot recommend them enough!!!

Super cute small cafe. Very friendly staff. We order French toast and Carpaccio, fresh juice and coffee. Everything was delicious. Their door was locked when we arrived. There is a sign said ring the bell, so we did and the barista came open the door for us. Would come back here again for breakfast. Everything on the menu looks yummy.
