Description

This neighborhood spot features a relaxed atmosphere and friendly service, though seating is limited to just two tables inside and one outside. Alongside the espresso drinks, you can find sweet guava and cream cheese pastries. The baked empanadas are notably large—one makes a solid snack, while two are filling enough for a meal. Because they are popular, the empanadas can sell out by late morning; if you arrive to an empty display, the kitchen can heat up a fresh batch if you have about 25 minutes to wait.
