Great coffee! Very nice atmosphere with covered outdoor and indoor, and nice service. Both of us got lattes and they were great: smooth and rich!

The coffee, service and atmosphere are excellent. There are many interesting options on the website. The website hasn't been updated in over a year. Most of the online menu is unavailable. No food options even though the website listed food.

Coffee is the best!!! I'm Guatemalan and this is the best place to savor local coffee, I haven't found a better place. They roast their own beans and put a lot of effort in making each coffee cup.

Great quiet coffee shop in the middle of a very nice district. It has both outdoor and indoor seating, so depending on the weather you're going to be comfortable, enjoying a great coffee drink. The quality of the beans was superb.
