First time trying this cafe and it totally disappointed me, prices for the coffee are ok and they are really good but food was really expensive and it didn’t reach our expectations, not worth the price at all. We bought an empanada for $10 and it was mostly all dough. The red velvet cake was pretty sweet too. I wouldn’t come back for the food but the drinks are totally worth it. If you want try to find a place to study you can totally come here.
