Helena's Coffee is a charming neighborhood coffee shop that has become a local favorite. The atmosphere is lovely, with a clean, pleasant interior and outdoor seating in both sun and shade. Customers praise the friendly, warm service from the staff.
The highlight of the menu appears to be the empanadas, which several reviewers call the "best" they've ever had. The empanadas are described as hand-made with love, featuring a delicious, outstanding dough and wonderful flavors like beef, chicken, ham and cheese, and spinach and cheese. They are said to be generously filled, not just "air." For maximum enjoyment, some recommend heating the empanadas briefly in an air fryer after purchase.
In addition to the acclaimed empanadas, the coffee at Helena's has also earned high marks. One customer raved about the "smooth as silk" dark caramel mocha latte, calling it "excellent coffee."
While the empanadas and coffee seem to be the stars of the menu, a few reviewers note that the other baked goods and pastries also receive positive feedback from customers.
The only critique seems to be regarding one customer's experience with the chicken empanadas, which they found to have overly thick, gummy dough and a dry, meager filling. However, this appears to be an isolated incident, as the other empanada reviews are overwhelmingly positive.
Overall, Helena's Coffee is described as a delightful neighborhood spot with wonderful food, great coffee, and friendly service - a local favorite that is well worth a visit.
