★★★★☆ 4.0 Tamara Conteh · Jan 2026

Best place for breakfast if you’re in town for hockey and don’t really know where to get food. The egg and cheese on a roll is FIRE. I’m not a fan of some of their sweet breads/ pastries, except the guava cheese danish which is so good. Their empanadas are small but to die for. Can’t wait to try the streak dishes. The ladies behind the counter are the sweetest.

Five stars all around! I stopped in for a quick bite and was blown away by how great the food was—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. What really made the experience, though, was the service. The team here is friendly, attentive, and makes you feel right at home. Easily my new favorite neighborhood gem!

I've been eating here with friends for years. They gave me my first baleadas and still my favorite. Their Atol de Elote and champurrado are great drinks to warm up with in the winter. Everyone who works there is nice and also patient with my weak Spanish skills, and they're very kind to people in need, unlike some of their neighbors.

Me and my mom were drawn in to the small town cafe and bakery today by the amazing smell of fresh bread coming from it and we are glad we went. From the empanadas to the Colombian cheese bread to the sweet vanilla bread it was all delicious. The empanadas came with red and green hot sauces which both tasted great. The bakery itself looks very clean inside and has a cute modern look to it. Although seating may not be available to use right now there was a lot of space for seating and it wasn’t cramped at all. The total for the two empanadas and the two breads was $5 and some change. The woman that helped us today was very nice and patient. She explained to me which items were freshly baked and i was surprised by how many of the baked goods were were freshly made today. I would definitely re
