I had the mint hot chocolate and my husband had a cajeta frappé and they were both really good. I had a cajeta tres leches pastry and it was delicious. The service was quick and attentive. Great experience overall.

Great food and prices, had thr Waffles Yik and loved it! Very clean and good service

Cute local chain that offers extensive breakfast menu. Decent coffee. Recommended dishes: huevos Montuleños and Hurvos al Albañil There are many locations but my friend recommend this one. They got coffee plants in the garden.

Lovely quiet cafe, fantastic free wifi and the hotcakes are delicious and great coffee..With cheap prices, I will definitely be back..

Great coffee, excellent price. I ordered an iced mocha, and it was one of the best I've ever tasted (with plenty of whipped cream, yum.). It turned a very bad day into a good one!

Delicious cup of coffee at an extremely affordable price. Will definitely be stopping by here again
