This place is epic. I got the fried beef empanada and the beef croquettes, which were out of this world. My wife got the vegan soy empanada and the soy croquettes which were equally incredible. We shared yucca fries and got the iced mint yerba mates. Everything was made to perfection and absolutely delicious. Definitely recommend. Don't miss it if you're here.

So good, such a nice ambience and an empanada and pastry selection that is tasty beyond words. Thank you for the excellent service and memorable occasion to enjoy such a nice morning in Pacific Grove.

Very lovely, quiet, and calm atmosphere to grab a coffee in the morning before hitting Monterey Aquarium and cannery row. Charming interior.

Dulce de Leche Latte ($4.75 - 8oz): 5/5. Great portion for the price and very nicely sweetened latte

Cinnamon roll ($6) - 5/5. giant cinnamon roll for the price! satisfies the cinnamon roll craving for sure.

Lots of seating to just chill and enjoy the coffee.
