My granny apple and cranberry empanada was very good the best part was the crust. Sooooooooo good, HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR LOCALS AND TOURISTS. Definitely will return and try other menu options. The ladies communicate very well and make sure you get what you want. 10/10 all around ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Love this place! Their espressos are sooo much better than the chains. My mochas are handcrafted in a way I just don’t get from the corporate coffee houses. And the empanadas are a cut above. My fave is the Thai chicken; love those flavors. Friendly staff. Pleasant place. Highly recommend!

The prices have definitely gone up since they opened. Food is very tasty, however, I notice lately they aren’t filling up the empanadas as much as before. For the price of over 7$ for a small empanada, they should be filling the inside with more of the filling.

I always had come here with my friend but today really upset me first, I get they might of forgotten my vanilla latte after they handed me my empanada… whatever on that but just had to point it out . Second , they were too busy chatting around with a costumer that once that costumer left .. they told me and my friend that they are CLOSED ! no 5 min warning ! Me on the other hand wasn’t even finished with my empanada had to rush out and finish it outside . Couldn’t waited at least till I was done ?!? While they were still inside picking stuff up . Very rude and uncalled for . I get you might have been there all day but at least warn me so I don’t have to rush outside with my food and drink . I’m never coming here again they lost a regular costumer .
Really great empanadas! I liked the traditional beef Peruvian empanadas the best. Highly recommend.

The cashier must ask...
“Are you eating it now? ?”
If YES, give it on wax paper bag,
and that's it. ✅
For ONE EMPANADA, they gave me:
One paper bag
Three napkins
Too much wax paper as if I was going to give it as a present ?
