I decided to wake up this morning and take a 45-minute drive to this café that I came across on Instagram last week. I must say, it was absolutely worth the trip. I was very pleased with the place. The vibes and overall atmosphere were very pleasant, and the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. They offer a great variety of sandwiches and toasts. We tried the egg and avocado toast as well as the brie, apple, and prosciutto sandwich,both were amazing and beautifully presented. I also ordered a cappuccino, and it was made exactly the way I like it.On the way out, I grabbed a café con leche for the road. Overall, it was a great experience, and I will definitely be returning in the near future.

I fell in love with this café the first time I tried their salmon toast. It was so incredible that I used to come here several times a week just for that dish. Judging by other reviews, many of your customers were just as impressed with it. Now that it’s gone from the menu, I haven’t been able to find anything I enjoy as much. It would be wonderful if it could return as a permanent item. The drinks are excellent, and the interior design is beautiful.

Been here a few times now for coffee and Wi-Fi. They have daily newspapers, magazines, coffee table books, variety of seating options from bar chairs to couches. Staff is so friendly and coffee tastes great. Family friendly environment. We came as a family today and had some small bites on a Sunday morning. Salmon toast special was so good! I included pictures from multiple visits. It's nice to finally have a comfortable little place like this in town.

We had a wonderful experience at Candelaria! When we walked in, the place was already lively, and shortly after, two large groups came in, making it very busy. Despite the sudden rush, the staff handled everything with grace, working hard and staying composed. Their positive attitude and attentiveness really stood out and made the experience even better. The food was fresh and delicious, and the coffee was absolutely spot on — rich, smooth, and perfectly made. You can tell they really care about the quality of what they serve. What we loved most was the cozy atmosphere. The seating was comfortable and inviting, and the decor was beautiful — warm, thoughtful, and perfect for a relaxed coffee outing or catching up with friends. We’ll definitely be back!
